Features for Xbox 360
High Definition Details - in
gaming
The folks here at Xbox® have
taken a bold step by declaring that all games that appear on the
Xbox 360™ video game system will support high-definition resolutions
up to 720 progressive scan and 1080 interlace. It's important to
note the difference between this policy and that of the original
Xbox® console. With games on the original Xbox, developers had the
option to support HD graphics, but Xbox 360 demands that all games
feature high-definition options. To clear up some confusion, here
are a few key points to bear in mind regarding high-definition
support on Xbox 360.
- You do not need a TV that
supports high definition to use the Xbox 360 system. Like all
consoles before it, Xbox 360 works perfectly on
standard-definition TVs (the resolution for standard def is 480
interlace).
- The high-definition support for
Xbox 360 is dynamic, so even if a game is designed with 720p in
mind, but your TV only supports 480p or 1080i, Xbox 360 runs the
game in the best resolution your TV offers (up to 720p and
1080i).
- If you do plan on running games
in high definition with your HDTV, you'll need the Xbox 360
Component HD AV Cable, which comes standard with the Xbox 360
system (not the Xbox 360 Core System) and is sold separately as
well.
- If you're using the Xbox 360 VGA
HD AV Cable to connect your Xbox 360 console to a computer
monitor or TV monitor with a VGA connection, you'll have the
opportunity to select from a variety of resolutions. They are:
- 640 x 480
- 848 x 480
- 1024 x 768
- 1280 x 720 (equivalent to
720p)
- 1280 x 768
- 1280 x 1024
- 1360 x 768
- Whether using the Xbox 360
Component HD AV Cable or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, you'll
find the resolution settings in the System menu on the Xbox 360
Dashboard. Select Console Settings in the System menu, and then
select Display to find all your resolution options.
Xbox 360 offers unprecedented support
for high-definition gaming, yet it remains flexible as well. Whether
using a standard definition TV (480i), an HDTV with only one
progressive scan option, or an HDTV with every available option (up
to 720p and 1080i), or even a computer monitor, Xbox 360 will employ
the best resolution your TV or monitor can display.
Xbox 360 has
adopted a different look than what everyone
is used to, yet it continues to stay true to its roots.

Internal Wireless
It may seem a small point, but if you've seen the stunted receivers
and nodules you've had to plug in for wireless control in the past,
you'll appreciate that all the wireless controller reception is
built directly into Xbox 360. It's not even as complicated as plug
and play; it's just play now.
Removable Drive
Another marriage of function and form is the slick looking hard
drive that slots into the top (or left hand side if placed
horizontally) of Xbox 360. It looks completely natural when
connected to the console, as if it's belonged there the whole time.
It can easily be removed and taken to
a friend's house when needed. More remarkable is that the design
continues to look fluid with it gone. It doesn't appear to be
"missing" anything, which is an added plus.
There's no doubting Xbox 360 has
adopted a different look than what everyone is used to, yet it
continues to stay true to its roots. It's identifiable for what it
is, and recognizable as something new, an elegant blend of form and
function. Welcome to the next generation.
The Audio Revolution
Audio fidelity is an often forgotten element of
gaming, and the hardware architecture that facilitates it is even
less discussed, but now more than ever audio is a crucial element
for quality gaming.
Hear gunfire over your right shoulder
in Perfect Dark Zero™ and spin with precision to pop a few rounds
off at the enemy, not because you saw them, but because you heard
them. Excellent game audio is immersive and instinctual, and Xbox
360™ is ready to bring its innovations to bear on the audio
experience.
DVD Quality
Xbox 360 matches the audio quality available in even the most
outrageously mixed DVDs on the market. Put simply, the audio
technology is now on par with Hollywood, so the next time you watch
an audiophile's dream DVD, you'll get a feel for what to expect from
Xbox 360. Think Daredevil (one of the all-time great audio mixes
available), any of the Lord of the Rings movies, Star Wars, the
Matrix films, and so on.
The Intelligence Game
Prepare yourself for a new generation of
games featuring new breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, all
made possible by the power of Xbox 360™. What is artificial
intelligence, you ask? Artificial intelligence—A.I. for short—is the
implementation of complex decision-making routines in software.
Brilliant engineers from game
development studios all over the globe have created A.I. procedures
to run on Xbox 360 that make in-game characters think for themselves
before your eyes.
More than Games
With Xbox 360™, feast your
eyes upon high-definition games with lifelike graphics and delight
your ears with surround-sound audio. But the entertainment doesn't
stop there. Go online and interact with millions of fellow gamers,
enjoy hi-tech multimedia experiences, and communicate with friends
and family. Enjoy all that Xbox 360 has to offer; with Xbox Live®,
chat with your friends while watching DVD movies or listening to
music.
