After a month with the Xbox 360, I'm ready to talk about all the mistakes that the Microsoft Xbox 360 team made in developing their console. The feedback is designed to be constructive.
Mistake #1: Overheating CPU or GPU
Mistake #2: No MSN Music
Mistake #3: No HDMI support
Mistake #4: 20GB is too small
Mistake #5: Microtransaction Security
Mistake #6: No Web Browser
Mistake #7: No WMV-HD DVD Playback
Mistake #8: No MPEG-4 AVI playback (i.e. XviD, etc)
Mistake #9: No System-Wide Video Calibration
Mistake #10: Poor DVD Playback Quality
Mistake #11: No pressure sensitive face buttons
I thought that i was losing my mind because I thoght my regular XBOX DVD player seemed to have a higher quality movie play back. My 360 has a sort of cloudy look to it when I paly DVDs. Its really easy for me to tell because I play on a 120 inch HD projector.To this day I would rather watch them in my regular box.

hmm..
DVD's are looking good on my 360. It seems to be 480P
I see more detail but some times you can see the grain due to the fact that DVD's are 480i
Just what I see on my wide screen HDTV with DVD movies. _________________________________________________________ 10% VIP Discount (Coupon Code: HQ-VIP-001 ) - Signup for web hosting at www.TweakedHosting.com/clients/aff.php?aff=004 and earn the HQ network of sites recurring income!
