i have a couple question that hopefully someone can answer.

1) for the orginal Xbox, did it actually use DVD? i thought it used some varient, and that it held slightly less space than the DVD used on the PS2, also i thought in order to play DVD's on the Xbox you needed some adapter.

is this true, or is it bs? i dont know i just heard something about this

2) since DVD9 is being used by the xbox 360 this gen, and the max resolution a DVD movie can have is Standard Def, how does the xbox produce HD visuals? also even though in game visual can be HD, isnt it impossible for cinamatics/cgi cutscenes to be in HD for it? or am i wrong again about this? and if i am wrong how do they make the cutscenes in HD when movies cant be?

OT: they will probably use a varient of bluray. i think most games will be 25 GB plus, some being around 100 GB.


I think the xbox 360 has an onboard upscaler and i think this is why Sony brag about being the only true HD console
this is a good questions and I'm not to sure, this was actually the first question i asked on this website a few years back and here was some of the answers for your seconds question
