The HD South Park is Sweet. Now damn it Microsoft get me a larger hard drive!!

The episode looks awesome. And they've indeed re-animated the sides of the image to make it 16x9. There's more information on the sides throughout the episode.

Really? Are we sure they didn't crop it? I'll have to check my Season 8 DVDs when I get a chance.

Finally got an HD display a couple of days ago (its only a 32 inch Samsung LCD, but that's quite a step up from my 27" SD TV) and only had the chance to hook up my standard def DirecTV receiver until tonight, when I hooked up the 360 and checked out some 720P trailers... then just started downloading every 720P movie/trailer, etc I could find in the Market Place.

Pretty amazing stuff. I've had my 360 since launch and finally seeing the "difference" that everyone was talking about regarding gaming in High Def.

Lost Planet and Gears look kick a$$.

Off topic but are you also playing in 5.1? People talk about the HD but I think many can't or won't play using 5.1 Surround. There are games where 5.1 isn't just pretty sounds, it's actually imprtant to gameplay. My favorite example of this is Rainbow Six Vegas. There are times where enemies open doors behind you(i.e. Terrorist Hunt) and if you don't have 5.1 you don't here them til it's too late.

In less than 24 hours my brothers new 360 died (3 red lights of death)

Shagrath

I want to hook mine up the 5.1, but there's some problems with dropouts and white noise. I'm not sure if it's the cable or the splitter (I only have two optical ins on my receiver and three components), so I'll have to further troubleshoot to find out what I need to buy to get this thing working.

Thats actually the best time to have any appliance break down

KurrptSenate

that's what I told him, but I don't think that helped him with the situation.


I'm trying to get him to buy Crackdown after he exchanges his system, but he's being foolish

South Park definitely looked awesome in HD. A very noticeable difference.

flashburn

So was Worms HD released today?

Shagrath

Yup. Looks like XBLA is starting to get good again.

Michael Corvin

Downloaded it this morning before work and made it through one game. Solid, but it will definitely take some getting used to not having all the fancy weapons.

The absolute first game I just downloaded the full game right off the bat. I usually d/l the demo and unlock the full.

KurrptSenate

its really the same difference, though

I guess what you were saying is that there was no need to "try before you buy"

Michael Corvin

ding. ding. ding.

Noonan

Which weapons are not there? Please tell me they didn't get rid of the holy hand grenade or iron donkey...

6 of the 7 people I know with a 360 is getting worms today. the 7th has the red rings of death. Funny though out of the 7 of us, there was never a time when all of us had a working xbox.

KurrptSenate

yea, my bro is in that same predicament.


He was actually mad that I might get worms, since I would never play him previously

Michael Corvin

Both are gone. One of the developers on Major Nelson's podcast said they wanted to get the game back the strategy element the original had.

Noonan

That's garbage. You just saved me 800 points. Why play Worms without old woman bombs and super sheep?

pinata242

There will be upgrade packs for the game at a later point that could add back this functionality. Whether they'll be free or not is unknown.

Michael Corvin

I believe they said weapons will not be a part of future upgrades. Voice packs, tombstones, gamerpics & themes.

Mok

I love worms so far I'm having a blast, only things is the targeting is a bit of a bitch to get use to.

dancinns

5:00 PM cannot roll around fast enough today. I can't wait to get me some Worms.

Decadance

Gotta say, Worms is a blast.
