    Yeah, all Xbox 360s are 3 years from the date of purchase for RRoD errors, 1 year otherwise.

    PS3s and Wiis are 90 day warranties IIRC.

        Answer found: Earlier media reports were apparently the source for the MS press release. They all simply assumed an average price of $20, and multiplied to get $166 million.

        Congrats to Halo3, on surpassing an arbitrary est of HP first day sales by a whopping 2.5%.

          Yeah, Halo 3 sales are unimpressive. Good job, LOTM.

              Halo 3 sales are quite impressive.

              Happy now?

                  I just find it curious you're taking such a strong interest in the game, given that you won't play it for another 10-15 years.

                    I find the game biz interesting. Also the success of Halo3 will impact the success of the 360 generally, and the success of the 360 will impact who rules our living rooms for decades, or so Im told.

                      Probably GRAW > Forza 2.

                      Is 360 in standard def = crap?

                        It plays fine, but what the hell is up with the graphics? How can this be HD? Anyone else noticed this?

                        Bioshock on the 360 looks so much better than Halo 3, so it can't be the console. In fact most of my 360 games look better than Halo 3 does.

                          Most is an overstatement, though Gears and Bioshock clearly do look better.

                            Even in SD, I think GoW looks more detailed than Halo 3, but Halo 3's lighting is better.

                                Bungie's response is pretty funny. Asher did you write this?

                                "[Y]ou could argue we gave you 1280 pixels of vertical resolution, since Halo 3 uses not one, but two frame buffers, both of which render at 1152x640 pixels,"a Bungie representativewrote. "The reason we chose this slightly unorthodox resolution and this very complex use of two buffers is simple enough to see: lighting. We wanted to preserve as much dynamic range as possible, so we use one for the high dynamic range and one for the low dynamic range values. Both are combined to create the finished on screen image."

                                The approach helps to give the game a "real" feeling at a steady frame rate,the updatesaid, adding that the Xbox 360 can upscale the image to 1080p without a problem.

                                "In fact, if you do a comparison shot between the native 1152x640 image and the scaled 1280x720, it's practically impossible to discern the difference. We would ignore it entirely were it not for the Internet's propensity for drama where none exists. In fact the reason we haven't mentioned this before in weekly updates, is the simple fact that it would have distracted conversation away from more important aspects of the game, and given tinfoil hats some new gristle to chew on as they catalogued their toenail clippings."
                                Does anyone really care about this?
