Region coded...........No upscaling

[eternaldark]

thought HD-DVD is region free for now??? Also the 360 upscales via VGA connection just now anyway

Got a link?

what about those (like me) that only have component for hd pics... any one know if there is an upscaling option for us at some point..?

For the HD-DVD drive I imagine there will be for component.

There's some new info straight from Microsoft regarding the HD DVD drive for the 360, on Major Nelson's latest, er, "blogcast":

I was going to post that exact same picture. I don't understand why there's suddenly a fuss about the size. This and other pictures have been around for a few months now and it looks to be the same size now as it was then.

If the price wasn't too bad could get 2 drives to allow for R1 or R2 discs....

There's no region coding yet for HDDVD but it's looking likely that it will be introduced in the future.
