Indeed. I thought there wasn't anyway to screw up a launch worse than MS did but Sony found away.

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -

It also deinterleaves the DVD video before scaling.Originally posted by KrazyHorse
How does it upconvert? Some sort of interpolation scheme?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

99% of DVDs are progressive-scan.
The full frame is stored, not an interlaced image."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

No, in all the new stuff too. Most of the time, all you have to do is weave the field pairs together, but there is some problem material where the distinction is important, such as some anime.
From the DVD FAQ...
There's enormous confusion about whether DVD video is progressive or interlaced. Here's the one true answer: Progressive-source video (such as from film) is usually encoded on DVD as interlaced field pairs that can be reinterleaved by a progressive player to recreate the original progressive video.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Well, the term is "interlaced" (never heard of "interweaved" before). It strikes me as bizarre that in a digital format it's still stored as such in most cases, but I suppose it makes sense when you think that you need to design for the lowest common denominator of DVD players that can't handle anything but interlaced picture.
HD-DVDs are 1920x1080 progressive, thankfully."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Interleaved, either.

So is Xbox Live free yet, or what?
Are they adding a 100GB hard drive, and a native HD DVD player to the box that you buy in the store? How much do these cost?
Any updates on new hardware chip revisions that use less power or anything? Do they still use the massive power brick for the PSU, which used to overheat and shut the system down? I heard about an upgrade there, but I'm not sure.Comment

Oh, and Sony, for their evil rootkit fiasco. I still haven't bought any (explicitly) Sony products, so I've made good on my boycott!

It's not free to play games.
None are announced.Are they adding a 100GB hard drive, and a native HD DVD player to the box that you buy in the store? How much do these cost?
The PSU still exists, and I think the overheating thing is blown out of proportion. Unless you suffocate the thing, it's noiseless and fine behind the cabinet.Any updates on new hardware chip revisions that use less power or anything?

In Q1 07 there are new chip revisions due out, 65nm transistors instead of the current 90nm. The chips are smaller, cheaper, and run cooler."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
