Xbox 360 Doesn�t Have True HD Functionality � Sony Worldwide Studios President

Phil Harrison, the president of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, has claimed that the Xbox 360 �doesn�t have true HD functionality� and that consumers looking for such functionality will have to wait for the PlayStation 3 to arrive.

In an exclusive interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Harrison said: "As you well know, the Xbox 360 doesn't play high definition movies and doesn't have true HD functionality - PlayStation 3 is the only format that has 1080-progressive, which is the true definition of HD, so it's really premature to be talking about the HD era."

"The HD era really only starts when we are on the market," he concluded.

Avoid the Xbox 360 Version of Kong Says Ubisoft

Peter Jackson's King Kong (Xbox 360)

Speaking to the BBC, Yves Guillemot has admitted the Xbox 360 version of Peter Jackson�s King Kong has an issue which causes the game to be displayed too dark on many standard definition television sets.

It appears that the development team primarily used high-definition televisions while working on the game and overlooked how it would display on standard TVs.

"We have a problem on the 360," Mr. Guillemot told the BBC News website. "The screen is dark on some TVs and it totally changes the experience. When it's dark, you don't see where you have to go."

"I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't see it when we were developing the game," said the CEO of Ubisoft. "We are looking to see if we can fix the code."

this may be true, but that just means it doesnt run at the highest high definition.

from xbox.com

"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."

still pretty awesome compared to everything out there right now. and for the reg tv's, im pretty sure there's a menu option that says contrast and brighness. idk i hava 360 and havnt had any problems with it being too dark. gettin my hdtv x-mas baby!

[RogueAlly]

eh by the time I have the money for a 360 all the bugs will be worked out and they'll be making good games with no problems and the prices of the actual system will prolly drop.

As for ps3, my roommate is buying that... so we'll have both. w00t
