Well I think if you have a high-end CRT that happens to have no HDTV you shouldn't be so bloody worried.. The games WILL LOOK GREAT!

HDTV is better, there's no doubt about that. However it's foolish to think that Next-Gen games will look current-gen on a non-hdtv set. That's bull****.

And not trying to insult the guy who took those pics but.. Something about those 720p screens does not look right. Maybe it's just the fault of the camera I don't know.

Are you sure that's PGR3? It just doesn't look right...

Hmm, looks like the difference is significant like they say. But no more than the difference between standard and HD has always been...

If i bought the Xbox360 and PGR3 and it looked like that i would take it straight back to be honest.

I'm hoping it wont.

This is really stupid.

The only different between HTDV and SDTV is resolution. 480i vs 1080i for example.

So why on earth would there be visual quality difference? Sure the picture would have more detail in HDTV, better resolution, but the QUALITY (texture, effects, blur, animation, etc) should be the exact same.

If the graphics look crap in SD, that means they're crap in HD aswell, maybe HD is hidding it. Similerly, if the graphics are good in HD, then they should be GOOD in SD as well.

For Example running HL2 on highest setting on 800x600 vs 1600x1200, you see more detail on the latter, but the Quality should be the same.

wow, looks like im not going to buy an xbox 360, i cant afford to shell out 2000 for a hdtv just so i can play games.

You're an idiot. The PS3 will have this "problem" too. Are you really surprised that it will look better on HDTV? Kind of a no brainer, really. I don't understand why so many people are freaking out.

you are correct for the most part but with HD the texures cna look higehr REZ cause it is running higehr REZ and a few more detials can comeout . while yes the textures can eb the same and otehr effects they will be a loss in image clarity it is kinda like using a Xbox on composite video connection compared to S-video the S-video connects shows mroe detials in texures.

Exactly, it?s like getting ****ed at your cable company cause your SDTV doesn?t display your TV programs as well as your friends HDTV.

I don?t get why everyone is now noticing their old TV don?t look as good as an HDTV.

Hmmm....something's fishy about the SDTV PGR3 pics. The cars don't even have reflections. :rolleyes:

Looks like I'm going to get a HDTV from Samsung from Rent to Own(lol). But don't HDTV's need an HD source?

The Xbox 360 will be the HD source.

Misconception. The 360 IS an HD source. You're thinking of HD television, which does require either an ATSC tuner (aka hdtv decoding tuner) or an HD box (which includes the decoder). But that's just tv, any other HD devices will work as long as you have the supported cables (xbox360 is so far component for HD modes).

Those PGR screens cannot be right. Looks like it's running on a PS or N64. Anyway, I played COD2 and Kameo on a demo machine today and COD2 looked awesome. Kameo looked okay but I don't know I expected more for that game. Although I never played it, only the beginning scenes.

dont get ****ed off because M$ slanted the weight over to the HD side, that was their mistake. To be perfectly honest, the xbox 360 isnt that much of a JUMP over the xbox, nothing near calling next gen, and for the RECORD I OWN A XBOX not a ps2.. Im sure ps3 will have the same problem but then again, its not comming out next week is it?

When it all comes down to the wire, my computer will own this 360 3x over, thats where the "Next Gen" is..

ps1 to ps2 = OMG stunning worth every penny....

xbox over ps2 = bragging rights but ps2 had games hands down.

ps2 to ps3 = we dont know yet...

xbox to xbox 360 = 20% improvement = not worth 300.00 and FOR DAMN SURE NOT WORTH A 2000.00 DOLLAR TV INVESTMENT!

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
