| Bandwidth Caps The cable cos will now be ones to start enforcing the bandwidth caps since some peoples will use the XBOX instead of the cable cos ppv. Also, I can see Micro$oft gaining more moola on this as we will now have to buy the larger hard drive for the XBOX 360.

japan | Re: Bandwidth Caps Yeah, if you like pixelated garbage.. I doubt it will offer 1080i content...
They don't even bother to mention the quality in the news release which means that it will be junk and overpriced. | |

Houston, TX | Re: Bandwidth Caps I read standard definition will be the initial offering with select high definition programs at a higher price. Keep in mind 1080i is not much different in resolution from 720p. Actually they are almost identical. | |

After seeing HD @ 1080p, 720p or 1080i is depressing.

Perfume at 720p |
said by detth :What have you seen in 1080p? What source? So far? Just trailers... and some NASA Shuttle launch video a friend sent me.
See pic? That's 720p(which is more or less the same as 1080i) on this laptop's screen.
To me, this is depressing - YMMV.

| Re: Bandwidth Caps My TV has a native resolution of 1280x720, so anything higher than 720p is a waste. Now, if my TV had a native resolution of 1920x1080, 720p wouldn't look as great as 1080p.
Man dadkins, you act like everything has to conform to you! Just leave us minions be... | |

Well this article says that they will have some HD content..
FYI people saying they don't need HD, or 720p is enough is ok if you have EDTV.
If you have a 1080i or p native LCD, anything less doesn't look so great (IMO, since it's down converting).
I can't get BSG in HD, so this would be cool to d/l off xbl if they didn't charge so much.. As it stands, I can just download a HDTV source encode off BT which looks better than the analogue/SD channels I have to watch it on. | |
