Hey guys,
I would like to show you how fail can this guy get:

http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1391542

The guy posted up a thread asking this question:

"Hi, I was just wondering that if i plug my xbox 360 into my computer (through the comuter itself not the moniter) could i use my graphics card to apply anti aliasing effects to make it look better?"

LMAO. Thats epic fail. I suggest reading the replies made by other people. Some are very funny. For example,

one guy replied:
"You can also connect your calculator up to the xbox so it performs calculations faster"

while another replied:
"Yup, you can. Just be careful your computer doesn't get a RROD."

Another guy posted up this pic:


So always be aware of what you want to post up online or else you will get trolled like this guy.

the TS was prolly a troll himself anyway

looks like he did a good job coz his post ended up on lowyat forum too! haha!

Yes, we hope he is indeed trolling, if not then thats fail

Oh wow.

I think maybe if you connect it to your car too, Grand Tourismo will be kick ass!!!

lol.. you should post it in the Xbox thread instead.

sticking green stickers around the ring will prevent RROD lolz...

anyways this shouldn't be in PS subforum, should be in console couch

I purposely put it in the playstation thread, just to troll Xbox.
Anyway, will leave it to the Moderators to move it then.

lol i thought i was in kopitiam =_=

but it is a fail post lol.. it could be something that can be done in the future though.. ;P

i like this post: "Insert four calculators into it and you have like a quad core..."

Sony Playstation bias fanboys more fail n dumb than this.

agree. and the best part is, they'll eventually buy an Xbox 360. It's just the matter of time..

so you're the "batu api". nice flame job dude.

Technically you could apply post-processing (sharpening, noise reduction, upscalling) to the Xbox's video output by connecting it to the computer.

can i connect ps3 to my 360?
so i can had output of 1080
lol

Get a life man

True. But you will also need video capture equipment. And I don't know many video capture cards offhand that can receive component 1080

But if do buy such equipment and do that with a 360, you can also do that with a PS3 or Wii. Or just about any video input source including Astro SD video. Possibilities are endless

Seriously tho, it's possible technically. But then:
1. You need to invest in a HD-capable video capture device (which I can tell you, is not cheap) and good video cards.
2. You need a program that can take the video frame, enhance it with AA and smoothing (and maybe upscale), and push it to the display. Bonus points if you use the good video cards' shaders to do that. More bonus points if you can take advantage of SLI/Crossfire. I do not know any program offhand that can do that, and
3. You need (2) to be able to do that as fast as possible, best within a few microseconds.
#3 will be the biggest issue, all video capture devices will introduce audio-video lag, although lag time will differ by card and program used (I have a old Mac G3 with Hack TV, and that has virtually no lag. On the other hand, my HTPC has a unbelievable 5-second lag when using Windows MCE). Getting a software that can take an input, upscale it to 1080 if it's SD, and then apply AA and smoothing and push the video to the output display fluidly within a usable timeframe can be a monumental task.

Also, does enhanced SD image upscaled to HD qualifies to be called a HD image?
