    “PS3.5″? – New Sony Patent

    Oh I remember the jokes all right, and when I remember the actual speeches where he bragged that the PS3 would "age your video content like a fine wine," I don't think they're unwarranted either. :shock:

    360 eDRAM Utilization - 2010 Edition

    I agree with your reasoning of the situation but is it not the case that Microsoft owns all the IP in the XBox 360? I seem to remember seeing this trumpeted quite loudly in 2005, the matter that they would not have backward compatibility problems for any platform in the future due to their...

    Water tech *spawn

    I would love to have 60fps back, actually. :( All the other stuff is great, seriously, but when it animates at 60fps, it looks so much better. Somehow I think this just won't happen if enough people don't demand it. Any time there is a new doodad it gets enabled, and to the max. That's the...

    *spin-off* TV/Console scaling quality

    Yes, this is how it is with all XBox 360 via the VGA cable, also if using a DVI connection. You just cannot get 1366x768 out of the 360 chip. If you are wondering why this is so, 1360 is divisible evenly by 8, 1366 is not. As I understand it, and as my experience bears out, yes. Your TV...

    Insomniac says no to 60 frames per second

    And on that note, I can't believe I'm the first person to suspect this, but Insomniac is towing the party line here. This whole dialogue reads to me as "the PS3 hardware is pretty much tapped out and all the new stuff we'd like to do can't be done at 60fps."

    Is it safe to say that, so far, the PS2 has the most amount of games running @ 60fps?

    Not being argumentative, but would you mind posting this?

    Consoles lacking LAN mutiplayer?

    For the original XBox, damn near every game that had XBox Live multiplayer had LAN multiplayer as well. Some XBox multiplayer games were out there before XBox Live even existed, like the original Halo, you absolutely had the choice to use multiple XBoxen instead of dealing with splitscreen, up...

    Component video and 1080p

    Yes . . . I even said this as well. It looks pretty much identical. The "pretty much" part would indicate the ghosting. Nor do I. And mind you, I did mention I have seen this on other sets right? A total of 7, including my two plasmas, have all had this issue with 1080p+Component. I just...

    Component video and 1080p

    I had thought of ways to try and test for interference before but what about seeing this only at 1080p? Wouldn't interference be a problem at any resolution? To just chalk it down to interference still seems counter to how it is manifesting itself. There is no static, no rolling lines (a la...

    Component video and 1080p

    Well as it happens, that is the question that I am here to ask! Why is it that the cable is more important than the connector? I mean, I'm not being childish turning your answer around, I'm asking a serious question about it. At any rate, I just don't think that after seeing more than half a...

    Component video and 1080p

    All right, hopefully this is the proper place in this forum for a thread such as this, but here goes. Recently on another forum someone asked about the quality of 1080p over component video and I chimed in with my experience, which I can state very simply: it works, however there is a faint...

    Optimizing Dreamcast Microsoft Direct3D Performance

    I think this is an incredibly interesting topic! Just fyi, but Mil-CD allows the Dreamcast to boot exactly that--Mil-CDs. There isn't anything about this that allowed the system to boot CD-Rs. The Mil-CD compatibility was removed from the late manufactured line, and those Dreamcasts can no...

    Making the Saturn display through a VGA box

    Rather peculiar, I wrote out a long and detailed reply that seems to have vanished into the aether. :???:

    Wii: 480i actually a lower internal resolution than 480p?

    I'm pretty sure a lot of games render in the way that you describe, but if you think that the game in question must be rendering in fields instead then the above does not apply, right?
