Some of you may have noticed that the Xbox 360's August update touted "Additional Monitor resolutions over HDMI". Some of you may have also noticed that this feature was missing from the preview and subsequently removed from the release notes, leading to much confusion - was it a typo? Was it removed? Would it ever come to the 360?
James K., of Xbox Support, has finally cleared this up on the preview forums:
"In initial update notes you may have noticed or requested the "additional Monitor resolutions" this feature is still being fine tuned which is why it was removed from later updates and has not been rolled out yet, in case your wondering, we do still plan to release this feature but only once all steps have been taken to ensure that it would work to the best of its ability for all of our users. Thanks for your great feedback, it is invaluable to making this the greatest experience possible this post has been placed in multiple sections in the forums in the hope of reaching as many people as have requested information should you have any more questions feel free to send me a PM. "

We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.
Spartan 1 program was somewhat Mech like..so bout time :P
Wow though, they look so much like Metal gears. Or gekkos
I know there were going to be mechs for a while, but seeing it actually shoot at that ship is so awesome.
Over the years, the Xbox 360 has seen a few revamps for their dashboard. Here's a look at how much has changed over the six years.
It really is amazing how MS transformed the dash from the old (and aged) blades to what we have now. The new dash is by far the best one I have used.
All the new features and apps, wasn't something I expected when I jumped on the Xbox 360 platform way back when.
Yes the new dash is definitely an improvement. Now it's much easier to navigate and find things.
It didn't evolve at all. It only got worse over time. The first dashboard with the blades was the best one as it was easy & quick to navigate and you had 1 ad tops (which at the time was usually for games or game events like playing the mystery gamer). Now it's hard to find anything but ads on the thing.
you can only find ads now on the dash?
Well maybe thats true to a point. I find ads for movies and tv shows on sale and games on sale or new demos available.
Even the doritos superbowl promo is worth checking out.
The ads of things unrelated to xbox are in a tiny box to the bottom right of the screen, seriously stop crying...
A LOT of people still prefer the blade dashboard IDK why. I preferably liked the one before our current one.
Same here, preferred the last dash over the current one. As someone who rarely connects to Live, the new dash just wastes so much space. When offline the main panel is mostly a giant 'connect to xbox live' button, with the rest of the space taken up by network troubleshooting and a beginners set up. An ability to customise the layout of the dash would be greatly appreciated, but customisation has never been MS' style.
i thought that when i started using it, the old blades were the best, they were simple and easy to use, the new dash just looks confused.
I got 9 dissagrees? are you guys serious? Look at the words across the top of your Dashboard. listed in a row from left to right, this is a rip off of XMB.
Facts are facts.
360 Magazine: Call Of Duty Black Ops 2, the XBox 720, the end of the console as we know it and crucial future gaming developments.
You mean 'Activision Presents: Man With Gun 2012, Starring Denzel Washington'.
Also, the new Xbox will be called the Ybox. You heard it here first.
More like Activision presents: one long cut-scene in which 'press X for controversial torture' comes up intermittently.
This is about Mass Effect 3. I always liked the series for its technical side and the dialogue trees. I never really liked the setting, the story, or the characters.
Other than the snow level in Mass Effect 1 and Wrex there's no memorable things really. Mass Effect 3 is going to be out on maxed out consoles so no technical or graphical leap there. Count me out on this game.
This being said Mass Effect 1 is a top 10 game this generation.
if that were true the xbox 360 would be Y box and the next generation xbox would be Z box.
They probably think the world will end after that.
I mean, Lynx have made a 'end of the world'edition deodorant.
When we are here 2013 all and well, i'll be playing some GTA V.
They should go straight for inox or soon there will only b one console that's more powerful than any PC and it will b made by apple. It will incorporate everything apple and they will rule the world. So its better to simply release the Ibox and prevent future world domination.
As far as cod and black ops r concerned, it will sell 10 million copies on day 1, 8 million paid for by r government as unemployment will b 14%. There wont b a new console in 2012 because activision says so. They aren't done yet and until they r forced to use some ingenuity, expect the status quo. Why invest more $ right now if ppl will fork over their last penny to u for a rehash. So, as cod goes, so goes consoles and PC's as they will b held back.
Star wars will release and sell many copies just like battlefield did, but everyone will return to wow because activision obviously has the best games and the most talented warlocks casting spells on their products. Ppl wont know why but swtor just wont feel right. Everyone will say that its a better game and its fresh and many hardcore players will b converted but the masses will nitpick things like hotkeys and menu animations to declare wow as the enduring king of mmorpgs...and then the next expansion will release and swtor will go free to play.
On November 3rd we will wake to see if we get 4 more years of misery or a Republican (what a choice...no hope or maybe some actual hope with alot of immediate suffering). But to r surprise, we will c that Bobby kotick is president and EA is under federal investigation. And then 7 days later...the cod cycle begins again.
funny article
all i read was the first part where it says
1.January 2012
Industry analyst Michael Pachter says that another Call Of Duty game will be announced this year and that it will sell “lots of copies”. He also states with unsual specificity that an asteroid 100Km wide at its thickest point will veer from its predicted trajectory and on 12 December at 0043:29, it will smash into the South Pacific Ocean near Easter Island and cause the extinction of nearly all species on Earth, including 98% of the human population.
i was like what?
Personally I like Pachter's CoD predictions, its the only f*cking thing he seems to get right. :D
Um. I'm like "Doh!" Of course they'll make a new call of duty game next year. It's already codenamed Iron Wolf.
We already got Black ops 2, it's MW3.. oh wait no, sorry.
To be honest though, my pet parrot Baba could have predicted that.
Doesn't Black Ops take place during Vietnam? That isn't exactly what I would call modern warefare since it's 40 years old.
I don't believe the next Call of Duty game will be called "Black Ops 2." Treyarch has a habit of changing names with their games.
World At War and Black Ops are different names. Iron Wolf may be a code name, but I believe the next game in the series will be different.
World at War didn't sell like black ops did. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to capitalize on the "Black ops" name.
That's right, this IS the ninth CoD isn't it...
I wonder how long they can keep this up.
Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why
Black Ops' campaign really wasn't that good. The original Modern Warfare is still the best, by far.
@petitpipi
No it doesn't MW3 story is a joke cod4 story is still by far the best MW story.
MW3's campaign doesn't kill anything, unless you bought the game for SP, then you probably killed yourself.
@ Isujester
I bought the game for SP, MP & Spec Ops. Why else would I buy the game? What a stupid comment on your part.
@ Vag
MW3's story is a joke? And you call yourself a gamer? lmao! PLEASE send me over your GT or PSN id. I need to see the games you've played.
I agree 100%. Though arn't you sick of buying a game with no new modes in at all (multiplayer wise) BLOPS had no new game modes in competitive multiplayer and mw3 only had 3 new ones!! But I agree with the innovation side and I enjoy the maps more in IW games but I do hate the maps in MW3! I do... i try and enjoy them but I can't. I liked the crisp, clean look of cod 4 and mw2 maps to the look and feel of mw3. I also loved every map in cod 5! But hated every map in BLOPS!
I am not really defending Blops of poo, I hate the game, but I am sure it had 1 or 2 new game modes.
You had the one were you start with a single weapon and every time you kill someone it would randomly change to something else.. or something like that.
I took blops back to the shop after about 4 weeks or so, so thats why I can hardly remember it but I know it had one or two new modes.
cod4:MW has been,currently is, and will probably always be my favorite cod game
even to this day i go on and play it every now and then.
Epic picture
they need to add 1920X1200 for VGA.
The 360 can't even beat PS3 exclusives released in 2007, how the hell is it going to have better resolutions.
360 exclusives beat the ps3 ones like a red-headed step child.
I thought HDMI wasnt needed? Go figure
