A press release from start of TGS states that a software update this year will enable 1080p output on your Xbox 360!

You will finally be able to experience all 60 frames per second of visuals that your 1080p HDTV can provide. Unfortunately there has been no HDMI cable yet announced so this is only over component and VGA. Even better, users can expect 1080p upscaling immediately on current games and DVDs while native 1080p on compatible HD DVD titles.

We were under the impression that HD-DVD had a 1080i limit on it's out put, but I guess we will have to wait while more information unfolds. Microsoft has yet to announce if any new game titles will be produced in 1080p natively, but we thinks that is inevitable. Too bad I just bought a new HDTV with 1080i.

The real questions is, what edge does Sony now have since MS can also produce 1080p? Kinda takes away their thunder yet again. Poor Sony.

Yeah this was posted somewhere else, I think in XboxHD, but it's still not something that will make anyone choose the 360 over anything else. Still cool that they're adding it.

MS's next step is to give every single xbox 360 owner a **free** HD-DVD drive that also plays games...and now we are talking. That would make xbox 360 almost even with the PS3.

definitely

would also bankrupt microsoft in the proccess.

Nothing could bankrupt M$.

Seriously... Bill Gates could fund MS himself.

Yeah, but seriously...DIE THREAD DIE.

Good news, though I don't have 1080p anyway, it's one less things that Sony fans can brag about.

Heh, I didn't see that it was an old thread... new news to me

from the articles I've read, 1080p isn't much different than 1080i. since i haven't seen them myself side by side, i can't really say for sure.
