New Xbox 360 set to upscale DVDs
section: microsoft, for your questions: KezNews forum, 21.7.2008
A Circuit City page which lists the new Xbox 360 60GB model states the following.
"Upscaling DVD Player: With an HDMI cable (sold separately), watch your favorite DVDs in near high-definition using the upscaling capabilities of Xbox 360." They have slapped an August 8th release on the new box.

i think the existing 360 already can upscale dvds.
i think it can, sort of. i think if you play a regular dvd in the hddvd addon drive, it
upscales. if you play one in the normal drive, it doesn't.
what they do need to do
is make the drive dvd region free.
sometime i use it to play dvd with the build in drive and my feeling is it already
upscale it for me.
only the xbox elite and the hdmi premium versions can upscale dvd to near hd quality.
why not add a blue ray player in the console so maybe their sales can go higher.
every sku of te xbox 360 can upscale dvd's to hd, even the oldest ones. for the older
versions you need a vga cable for it to work and for the newer versions with hdmi ports
you can use either a vga cable or the hdmi cable. it just won't work with
composite/component or scart cables and these are the cables most sku's are provided
with.
no need for the hd-dvd drive add-on. though it is a lot more silent than the built-in
drive.
how upscale can you get when you watch a movie sitting next to your 200 pounds spouse?
