Read from other thread that XBOX uses component cables (cannot view at 1080). What resolution you viewing?

Also no HD audio. sad.gif

Hopefully they dont stop at airport customs. That process is really random... pure luck.

Seems like the A30 is popular here.

Why no A35?

Should use VGA or HDMI on your 360 in order to compare with PS3 HDMI

Even so, it also depends on the quality of both formats (same movie)... there are some websites/forum that compares same movie between both formats with one being the winner.

@ SdRawk - to add to what the others have posted.

I use a HD-DVD add-on to play HD-DVD on my 360 via components + optical cable. If I compare this to my PS3 for Blu-Ray via HDMI, I can say the PS3/Blu-Ray wins. But that won't be fair as I'm not comparing apple to apple. I've seen both HD-DVD and BR on high-end setups and agree with arj, I can't tell the difference.

So my point is, it's not about which format is better, but rather the equipment that's driving it. Further, you were watching the demo in 1080p on a presumably large LCD (>40in?) on presumably a stand-alone Blu-Ray player through a decent AV receiver. You would not have a fair comparison with your 27incher on presumably a HD-DVD add on drive sans the appropriate audio-decoding amp.

Sorry too many presumptions, but hope you get my point.

HD does not mean grainless. If the source material intended to have grain, HD only means sharper grain...heh.

For speakers that doesnt take up space, get those HTIB with small speakers .... avoid the ones with tall speakers.

Can listen to demo in all audio/video shops. Recommend pioneer... dun like sony, panasonic and samsung.

4gb within 1 day?!! .... not my connection. Maybe 1 week.

Download is cheaper and more convenient than buying over counter. You don't have to go out, just stay at home, click the download button that it.  Next day, you'll get your movie and can watch.  tongue.gif
