Episode 24 - Sweet Ride of
Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, is available glorious HD on Xbox Live Marketplace. It weighs in at 158 MB and costs you the standard 80 Microsoft Points. Just out of curiosity, how many of you are downloading the series off of Marketplace? We usually just pick up the DVD ourselves, but then again, this is available in HD, whereas we'd need to play our Season 2 DVD
in an HD DVD drive through VGA to upscale to HD resolutions. So, we ask again, do you get your
RvB fix off of Marketplace?

Eh you can upscale the DVD by using the normal DVD drive in the 360 and connected via VGA. No need to use the HD DVD player to do that.

I thought the Xbox 360 only upscaled DVDs to 480p (ED). The HD DVD player is required to upscale to 720p (HD) or higher. Is that not correct?

I use the standard Component HD output from my 360 (no HD DVD drive) and when I play a DVD through it, my TV informs me that it's displaying at a resolution of 576p. So it's not quite HD, but it's higher than ED..

The 360 may upconvert video to HD, but it's doing so simply by making the pixels larger. It really doesn't do any of the clever interpolating that good upscaling players do. Standard DVDs played through my 360 look significantly worse than when played through my cheapo standalone Toshiba upscaling player.

I'm okay with all my downloaded videos.
But I would by the Dvds if they were all available in the UK.

Why pay when you can watch for free online.

Well I have to admit it, I have all of them downloaded, looks like it is time to add more points. Plus gotta finish getting the last 4 episodes of The Guyver.

Just how HD can a 4 year old video made with Halo actually be.
I just watch them on machinima.com and the quality is fine.
