Halo 3 runs at 640p native XD

If you do that, sinha, then I think I'll post this http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12821 every time someone wants to bash the Wii for not being HD.
Now that we have confirmation from Bungie themselves that their games is not even in HD, how desperate they are to spin it, I'll just throw this at anyone that says anything about HD being the most important thing for a game.
1152 * 640 is slightly above 640p, but sure enough not 720p, which is the lower HD resolution.
BTW, I think that closes this silly thread, shutting off the XBots. I hope not to hear any more "HD is beyond all for games" comment, when the biggest game of the XBox 360 isn't even HD.
The spin of Bungie is even worse:
- "1280 vertical resolution" is BS, two framebuffers never got you higher resolution
- "if you do a comparison shot between the native 1152x640 image and the scaled 1280x720, it’s practically impossible to discern the difference", yeah right, some people did, and the defense forces were the only one blinded. They talk like they have an godly scaler, which obviously they haven't.

I also hope some people start to understand that it's not because it's written 1080p or even 720p somewhere on the box, that the game is in 1080p or 720p. But I won't hold my breath over that, some people are so dense, that you can prove them that endless times and they won't ever understand.

What's interesting, is that now it seems there's not a single true 1080p game on XB360, and that lots of 720p games aren't even 720p either. Which is far more logical to me, as I didn't understand how consoles that are much less powerful than some PC, could display higher resolutions with the same games. Now I understand: the consoles just don't run even at 720p for these games.
