Meshuggah Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 Haven't all the sources been saying $479? he's just being sarcastic since his PS3 costs that much :p MGS3-SS just sits around hugging his console Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547729-the-black-360-is-coming/page/9/#findComment-588430627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 he's just being sarcastic since his PS3 costs that much :p MGS3-SS just sits around hugging his console If only I owned a PS3 (only have my X360 and PC to survive). I was saying $600 because the 20GB HDD costs $100, since 120 = 6 x 20, then the 120GB HDD price = $100 x 6.

Lexcyn Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I can't believe the hard drive is $179 USD. That's ridiculous. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547729-the-black-360-is-coming/page/9/#findComment-588431350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 If only I owned a PS3 (only have my X360 and PC to survive).I was saying $600 because the 20GB HDD costs $100, since 120 = 6 x 20, then the 120GB HDD price = $100 x 6. Yea, and I said "Plus tax." because I was trying to make a funny. :p :laugh: :blush: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547729-the-black-360-is-coming/page/9/#findComment-588431364 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshuggah Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 http://loot-ninja.com/2007/04/01/xbox-360-...ed-vga-updates/ Xbox 360 Elite supports HDMI 1.2 profile. For audio, you can select DD, DTS (at 1.5 Mbps), and WMA-Pro (Microsoft high fidelity multi-channel codec supported in some AVRs such as Pioneer). Since it is not based on 1.3, it will not support output of DD+ or TrueHD (even if it did, mixing would have been turned off). PCM output is available but only for 2-channels (not 5.1). Please, please, don?t say you don?t like this. There is nothing you are going to say which we don?t:)now :). Our goal was to provide a digital connection for video which people wanted for some of their TVs. And of course, single cable A/V connection. So if having analog video bothered you before, you can now use digital. If you lacked component/VGA on your TV, you are in business with Xbox 360 Elite.Keep in mind that the spring software update for HD DVD substantially improves audio fidelity. Per above, you now have a choice of no less than three output formats.s. If you are keen on having 5.1 PCM output, I recommend purchasing the Toshiba A2 player which after the price drop, will be much cheaper than Elite. Answering other questions, both Xbox 360 Elite and current Xbounits will have a spring (console) update which adds support for different video levels for VGA output (?7.5 IRE vs 0?).0?). And as someone mentioned, using this setting you should be able to use computer monitors in addition to TVs with resolutions all the way up to 1080p with high fno issueso issues with HDCP handshaking. So for current users, I highly recommend trying this update with your VGA connection to see if it does the job for you. Note thaconsole updatee update and will work for both games and of course, HD DVD software update is separateseparate from this (and will be available on both Xbox Live and xbox.com). On output video format, Xbox 360 Elite will perform a handshake and select the appropriate RGB/YUV settings over HDMI. You cannot select it yourself. The spring HD DVD software update will fix all the lip sync issues that have been reported/we know of. There is no support for the WMV-HD disc format but of course, you can put WMV files on discs and Xbox 360 will play them. so a little bit of news on the spring update(s) plus the sad news I expected, which is HDMI 1.2 and not 1.3. I'll wait until the next revision:Df the 360 :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/547729-the-black-360-is-coming/page/9/#findComment-588444621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
goji Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 ^ This SERIOUSLY makes the 360's HD-DVD offerings broken! I expected better from a major supporter of the HD-DVD format. Bad Bad BAD MS. Though I can wait and hope in the following: Quote: Is there an Xbox 360 Media AV version in the works that provides all the desired audio/video features? You know I can't comment on future products . If thats true, MS had really fubard this one. Off to buy a dedicated HD player now.
