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?

The most efficient  way to do cutscenes today, which also assists with the immersion factor, is to do it with the in game engine.  La Noire has done this.  Rockstar could of decided, "Let's do the game with the engine, but film live actors and show Full-motion video for the cutscenes".  Would that of been a better way to do it the old way, where the cut scenes were pre-canned and read off the disk?
