all being said, does anyone care if their dash is in 480p?

I have to care because my wideband component input won't display 480i 🙁

Nope, because the XBox controller >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> PS2 controller

The joysticks are worlds better and I like having analog triggers instead of buttons.

Ahhh ok, using 480p, the dashboard looks sharper, i can notice the difference...

Last question, do i have to enable 480p and/or widescreen in Halo 2 itself, or will it just take the settings from the dashboard?

I have it enabled in the dashboard, but i dunno, Halo 2 dosent seem to look all that good. THere must be a setting wrong somewhere.

i've noticed that even when set to widescreen - the radar and target thingy are still stretched, however everything else seems to scale correctly. I seem to remember somebody else mentioning the same thing on these forums before.

yea i started a thread about this. that is just bad coding on part of bungie. i really hope they have a patch out to fix this.

depends on the game.

GTA-PS2.
Racing games-I like the Xbox, but if you're using a manual, like I do, the PS2 is much better. Thats why Brunout3 works well on Xbox.

I've never played GTA on the xbox, so I can't compare. I think my hands are too big for the ps2 controller. they fit the xbox controller perfectly.

I'm a racing game nut, though. I really struggled through GT3 because of the lame joysticks and lack of throttle/braking control. It was almost as bad as playing on a PC. I now have ToCA for xbox and it's a blast. Control is fantastic. The way console racers should be done. The only thing better would be a wheel and pedals.

bungie already released a patch for this via xbox live....i can send the patch to anyone that is running the game off of the HD.
