Microsoft Xbox 360

Yep, VGA gets worse on bigger screens. I've tried the official Xbox 360 VGA cable on a 40" and it's fine but I know that depending on the cables you use, it makes a big difference. I bought a shite generic VGA splitter box and cable on eBay, and on a 17" monitor the picture was decent, but on a 19" monitor or above it was an absolute waste of time. Grains, waviness, shadowing, really bad picture.

i'm sure when i had the official vga cable a few years back the picture quality was amazing on my 40 inch....didn't think it would matter much that i bought a simular vga cable from game

so you recommend i get the official vga then mate?
 
Sent out loads of friend requests, I should have pretty much everyone who comes in this section either already added or have sent you a request now :)
 
Why is it that I've gone into my avatar settings and set my gamerpic as a photo of my avatar, it shows on the website as the avatar pic, but when I log into my 360, it has my old gamerpic?
 
i can see that
theres only one for me thats making me keep the ps3, mlb the show.

Yeah MLB The Show also looked very impressive to me but didn't quite have enough to make me want to buy a PS3, I knew I'd always end up playing Fifa/Fight Night more and I knew that both would not be exclusives.

Check your personal settings, there is a pic that shows to other gamers and a pic that shows to friends.
 
FUCKS SAKE!!!

I connected the Xbox to live today to download a demo and most of my gamerscore and achievements have gone missing. It's kept my past game history but the whole of my achievements for Mirror's Edge, GOW2, L4D, Fallout 3 have completely gone. I had over 2000Gs. It's as if I've never played the games before. All the hours put in.

Is there a way to recover them? I only connected to live to download a demo.

I see that an unofficial Xbox Live Update pack has been released, so people who don't have live for whatever reason can download this and update their games, I believe this is not something that's illegal so I post the information here:

I have 26" in my room and when it comes to HD-DVD's VGA and HDMI look the same. When it comes to games VGA looks better on my TV.
 
somebody previously said component works better on bigger tv's...i have a 40" bravia...so i'm going to try component as i currently have VGA and it looks 'washed out'
