Excuse me? I think only like 3 games on the XB360 actually run natively in 1080p.

Did you mean natively? Far from all XB360 games even run natively at 720p, Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST runs at a lower res than that for example.

So not sure where you're getting your info from.

Future 360 games won't "Magically" stop supporting a 720p TV, that makes no sense whatsoever from a business perspective.

It will simply be like on the PS3 where games that natively run in 1080p can be scaled to run at 720p.



Haha, didn't know CDON existed in Norway too! That's where I bought my set from, bought'em this April, I guess price might have dropped a wee bit since then.

There won't be a lot of 1080p games until the next generation of consoles. Even the massive tech showcase Uncharted 2 is 720p native. The current gen consoles just don't have the horsepower to run graphics like that at 1080p. The consoles will scale the games but you get artifacting, it's better to run the games at their native res.

On the subject of 5.1 for space challenged, I use a Logitech Z-5500 pc system. One of the best for your pc, and it's also got an optical input and a coax. Switch sources with the remote. Wall mountable speakers, nice sub, very small control unit/pre-amp that connects to the main hardware mounted to the sub. Sounds better than any home theater in a box I've heard for even double the cost. No full sized receiver to take up space. Sounds great with the 360, and put it with a good sound card in your pc and it gets even more amazing.

Yes, I have bought all my DVDs and some games and CDs from CDON for the last 3-4 years.

The price is actually a bit lower than it seems when in $, because the NOK is strong these days.
1470,- NOK if i dont remember wrong.

Z5500 is great value for money. It uses chip-amp modules from National, similar to those you will find in high-end Jeff Rowland amps. It can even fill a small home-theatre with sound.

Sound isn't a big deal for me, considering I have very little hearing left.

Yeah, though IMO the PS3 does a worse job of upscaling games than the 360.
