From this pics it looks like it got the very same green problem ans PS2 while playing DVD's Oo, but I guess it's just the video itself.

was this playing in 1080p?

I think the green is WMP11 its got its problems they will probably update it in the next patch.

It would have been upscaled to 1080p.

if you see the same video on Gamevideos from 1up, there is no green tinge. snoopers took this offscreen while oneup took it directfeed. there is no green tinge, its only the light

the 'green' seems to be showing on the blade too, so I'd assume there is a giant green light below the screen that is reflecting.

Are you in japan ?

no its pretty obvious when you see both videos

rupbert, why would it have been upscaled? And by what?

I'm a little confuzzled by your statement, since:
A. all movies on HD-DVD are natively 1080p
B. MS recently announced that the 360 will be updated to be able to output 1080p
C. with the HD-DVD attachment, the 360 can play HD-DVDs

So, i would have assumed that if it was at 1080p then that would have been done by the 360. And if not, then the 360's current native 720p or 1080i

No it's just you brought the LO video to youtube so I figured you might be there ;)

Yeah your right.

I thought Tokyo Drift had been encoded in 1080i, but it is indeed 1080p. I assume then this was being run through vga as 1080p over component isn't currently permitted...

"Straight from Japan comes this interesting announcement. Microsoft said today at TGS that its fall software update, scheduled for release later this year, will allow all Xbox 360 consoles around the world to output game and movie content in 1080p resolution. 720p games will be able to upscale to 1080p, although there will be no HDMI output. "

I'm not quite sure what the reason for this quote being posted was? What did you want me to extract from it? Explain please :)

Xbox360 will be support 1080P Full HD with the new dashboard update!
BOTH GAMES AND MOVIES!!

that it is not true that 1080p is not allowed ti use compenent because it is..

In the short term yes, but when the HDCP restriction is introduced MS are going to have to introduce an HDMI or DVI connection...

I, and a lot of other people, would be pissed if we couldn't play HD-DVDs on our 360 because of it lacking HDCPed HDMI.

Rupbert, lets not forget Microsoft have not confirmed or denied the existence of a HDMI cable, or even whether the 360 GPU outputs digital signals. Amongst the tech-heads, the majority are now convinced the latter is true, and the GPU does indeed have digital-video capabilities, after many sources discovering the 360 Mobo has a chip which is present on the latest ATI HDMI/HDCP compliant cards.

Microsoft have actually stated there will be no HDMI connection (I'll try and find the statement), but like many denials it does not mean it will never happen...

I'd be amazed if the gpu was not capable of digital video processing, but how on earth can they introduce an HDMI/DVI connection without actually incoporating it into the motherboard?

I do not think that restrictions will come into effect until 2010 or so.

Found an old interview... but here's what "Todd Holmdahl, Corporate Vice President of the Xbox Product Group at Microsoft" had to say.
http://interviews.teamxbox.com/xbox/1190/Xbox-360-...I'd say we will provide HDMI when it makes sense would apply to this.

Also found this from just a few weeks back...
http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EEVZVEully...Again... they aren't saying no. They're saying they may. And with the HD-DVD details still emerging I'd wager an HDMI A/V pack won't be far behind.

I just wanted to point something out to everyone concerning 1080p and componant video.

Yes you very well can output 1080p (and even higher resolutions) over componant cables. There have been products that have been out for years, even though somewhat rare, that do this.

The myth that you cannot is a lie (of omission) perpetrated upon the consumer by Sony and other CE companies and certain Hollywood studios in the lead-up to the launch of blu-ray to convince as many consumers as possible that they had to adopt HDMI. The fact that blu-ray drives only output the 1080p resolution via HDMI and that some of the newer television sets only accept 1080p signals via HDMI is put their to reinforce this lie.

But the facts are that Japanese consumer electronics giants like Mitsubishi, JVC and other high-end OEMs have been creating DVD players, cable/satelite TV boxes and television sets/projectors that output/accept a 1080p signal over componant cables for around five years now (HDMI has only even been around for the last three years). Even now as we speak, there are a slew of Chinese made and distributed consumer electronics product that sends and recieves 1080p signal via componant cables. The Chinese have gone so far as to create their own hi-def video disc standard (basically encoding HD on standard DVDs) that will output 1080p over componant.

So when M$ tells you they are doing 1080p via componant cables on the Xbox 360, do not be alarmed or amazed (well, if you feel like being alarmed that you were so completely lied to by the CE and movie industries, lied to enough that you fell for it hook, line and sinker - well, feel free to be alarmed about that) as this is nothing new and has been going on for years . . . oh, and HD-DVD, unlike blu-ray, does not restrict the 1080p signal output to HDMI only

What does this mean for the Xbox 360 owner? It means that even Xbox Three-Shitty (tardpack) owners can get in on the 1080p goodness. PS3 tardpack owners are not going to get off so luckily.

about this hdcp restriction: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/result.xhtml?url=%2...

i know its german, but: Nach den bisherigen AACS-Lizenzvorgaben soll die analoge Ausgabe ab 2011 nur noch für die Standardauflösung erlaubt und ab 2014 ganz abgeschaltet werden

translated: in 2011 analog signals only for standard resolutions and in the year 2014 completey turned off, meaning no hd via analog signals anymore.. so thats a lot of time till the restriction will become effective

a bit of info...

""We have the ability to output either through VGA or component. We have no HDMI announcement now," he said. "We do have the capability to deliver the software and, if needed, the hardware.""
