“There’s no such thing as an electronic device without flaws”

flaws are fine, defects are not! i had the 360 since launch and when it died i went with the ps3 because there are no reported defects in the hardware. if you don’t believe me then try to find one and show me!
i love the 360 and i do miss it but i will not buy another one untill ms changes the hardware in that thing!

Thats really strange, are you in the US? I’m from the UK so may be different. I’ve got the Toshiba 32″ Regza so it really should work fine. It really is a great TV.

Same problem. I even took it to circuit city where it was purchased to see if it was my xbox. It was not. same problem on their tv. I guess its not compatible which sucks because its a great tv.

Indeed.. My set allows for 1080p over component.. It is beautiful.

Samsung F series , LE40F71 / LE46X71; 1080p over component, VGA and HDMI. Convinced?

I got an Elite yesterday. No problems so far. I played R6 Vegas for about 3 hours and I played gears just as long. Its still working.

They’re very rare, but they do exist though

By: Sean

Sean — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 18:21:07 +0000

Yep, he is right. 1080p can be sent over component. Component and VGA are both analogue connections, so the only difference in support would be whether your TV supports it.

HDMI is only required for 1080p that has HDCP (specifically the image-constraint token) enabled.

By: vandenbond

vandenbond — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 18:12:59 +0000

1080p over component? Do you have any example TV’s that advertise that? never seen it before.

By: SomeGuy

SomeGuy — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 18:09:44 +0000

“1080p can not be sent over a component signal.”

Wrong.

1080p can be sent over Component (as well as VGA for that matter). Now, if your TV just doesn’t support 1080p over those inputs, that’s a different story.

Don’t say that 1080p cannot be sent over Component in general, that is incorrect.

Definetely fake ,
Sony fanboys buying elite and show elites as they broke down (fakely by smart hints)

By: vandenbond

vandenbond — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:51:21 +0000

Funny you mentioned Toshiba. I got the elite yesterday, plugged the HDMI cable into my Toshiba 42LZ196 and selected 1080p as the output….worked right away and it looks amazing. Also hooked up the HD-DVD player and watched my first movie in actual 1080p…was incredible.

Hardly an ‘elite’ console in the first place tbh.

By: dirty duck

dirty duck — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:04:20 +0000

Kev what TV do you have to get 1080p over VGA??

If its a samsung then its upscaling to 1080p and isnt a true 1080p source signal.

I have a 42xd1e and it doesnt display 1080p over VGA, only over HDMI will it give the 1080p signal.

By: dirty duck

dirty duck — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 17:02:03 +0000

Your wrong mate, i have a 1080p set (LC-42XD1E) and it will not display 1080p.

The reason for this is that the VGA at 1080p doesnt work and should be fixed in the next update.

1080p can not be sent over a component signal.

The only way at present until hopefully the VGA fix is to use HDMI

Make sure your Xbox 360 is not set for 480i. My HDTV won’t display 480i at all.

Def a rich sony fanboy that could afford to buy an elite just to make this video. Notice the game was Sneak King because they didnt want to destroy an actual good game. Prob rubbed the disc with a sheet of sandpaper before putting it in.

By: Miguel

Miguel — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 16:05:44 +0000

man that video wasnt even worth mentioning it sounded like someone was scratching a wooden chair against the floor they didnt even show the disk before or after they put it in

By: Sean

Sean — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 15:55:08 +0000

the thing is - the current 360 will run Halo 3 in 1080p just as well as the Elite. Both consoles feature scaling chips. The only difference is the Elite has HDMI. No performance differences whatsoever.

There’s no such thing as an electronic device without flaws, but Microsoft should have checked the quality of the elite’s components more after 360’s had been reported doing such things

Dont believe some people,
I’m sure they are buying elite to make the console break down and show it up in the forums.
