An Xbox 360 VGA Review – A Look At The Graphics Components

Sphere: Related Content
As new console games come out the graphics become more and more impressive. The latest from the folks over at Microsoft is now exception. I am going to do an Xbox 360 VGA review so you can have a better idea of what the capabilities of this unit are. IN this Xbox 360 VGA review I will look at both the HD DVD and game components. Both system use different parts of the console. I am going to try to avoid as much techno babble as I can and keep this Xbox 360 VGA review down to some that anyone can understand.

The First Part Of The Xbox 360 VGA Review – HD DVD

HD DVD is the next evolution in DVD technology. Without getting too much in depth, HD DVD is about 4 times as accurate and clear as normal HD. The reason for this is that the resolution presented in HD DVD has about 4 pixels to 1 pixel in HD. This means that images are more alive and crisp. IT is hard to describe the difference between HD DVD and regular DVD because DVD is already so crisp and clean. The differences are not nearly as obvious as the step up from standard definition to DVD. While DVDs look sharp, crisp, and accurate, and HD DVD looks warm and natural. The pixilation has a reach such a high level that you the images a literally completely smooth and natural looking. It is impossible to imagine, but when you see it you will understand the value. Similar to how movies in the theater look so lifelike, this is how HD DVD looks. The best thing is that this is fully controllable from the Xbox 360 wireless adapter, but look to my Xbox 360 wireless adapter review for more information on that.

The Second Part Of The Xbox 360 VGA Review – Games

The games on the Xbox 360 are amazing. The reason for this is that the processors inside the Xbox are fully dedicated to graphics processing and have no heavy operating system to maintain. The system is designed so that the unit is just a massive graphics processor. This shows in the lifelike animation in game play and in the trailers. Halo 3 was a launch title and it and Gears of War are probably two of the best games I have ever seen on any system anywhere – PC, Playstation, Wii, whatever these blow those out of the water. For my money I will get the Xbox 360 every time.
