I own old XBOX frist genrations with chip mode so it runs like media center at my home. But the issue I have was I did not known if I should buy a XBOX 360 or PS3. I strugel with follow issue
- I want 3D sterostopic games
- I want to see on 3d movies blue-ray
- I want best graphice for games
- I want good moive expreies like kinect
- I need a console that are cheap to buy second hand games to
- I need a console a four old sister can play with.
1. I want 3D sterostopic games.
Acroding allot site and other source say most 3d games are on PS3 really.
Now I start download some XNA devlopments documents about XBOX 360.
I list some point I found here.
XBOX 360 can switch automatic betwin 3d and 2d mode if the 3d mode are checked and in 720p with auto scale.
Let try config it. I start reading my manual for my 3DTV LG 42LW650W now I open my LG TV manual I download from LG start reading page 143 SPECIFICATIONS for 3D supported mode
LG 42LW650W
Input : HDMI
Mode : 720P
3D Mode supported : Top & Botton / Side by Side (SBS) / Frame Packing
Freq (Frame per seconds / frame rate) : 50 / 60
In our case we can not choice 720p in XBOX 360 configure for it does not support Checker board
720i or 1080i we will not check in the manual what it support why ?
it is interlace mode it works frist frame send even field second frame send odd frame, that mean half frame are render in each frame. but we want full frame. another issue is it can create a artfactes and image looks verid in some case.
Input : HDMI
Mode : 1080P
3D Mode supported : Top & Botton / Side by Side (SBS)/ Checker board / Single Frame Sequential
Freq (Frame per seconds / frame rate) : 24 / 50 / 30 / 60
Nice this mode works for us.
I am trying set XBOX 360 to 1080p (A Xbox I borrow before I buy one)
and set my tv into checker 3D mode. It did not work darn, start reading XNA document again.
Write in my TV size 107CM (Did not measure exactly the size from left top corner to right down corner of my tv, it is according formal) . I also check see if 3DTC mode was activated on xbox 360. all this was
activate still does not working. Last I read it maybe getting bad EIDD data from the TV so the manual from XNA document I got say try disable auto descover TV settings. I did that and disable 3DTV setting in XBOX 360 then it restart it self. now I re activete the 3D setting on XBOX 360 the xbox restart it self again. Now I press on my tv remote controller 3D button and select from my LG TV menu checker 3D mode. wola I got 3D mode on the XBOX menu now. let try final fantasy XIII see if it goes into Sterostopic 3D mode. Yes it does, even kinect games goes into sterostopic 3d mode automatic. Nice I try over 50 diffent titles now, and all goes into sterostopic 3d mode on xbox, but if the game does not support
sterostopic mode XBOX 360 will automatic switch to 2D mode acoding the XNA docs I did found.
Now to blue-ray issue.
The XBOX does not support blue-ray that is the bad with it.
Game graphic
XBOX have better graphic that PS3
Game for my sister
Acoring Game Stop and my broder that own PS3/XBOX360/Wii say
XBOX 360 have allot of games for childer, but most childer games are on Wii
PS3 does not have alot of childers games.
After all this data
I choice XBOX 360 with Kinect, PS3 or Wii can not match Kinect that game feeling, and almost all my whiched come true with XBOX 360.
