HD DVD experiences playback problems on Xbox 360

A new HD DVD designed to help calibrate HDTVs has hit a problem with the Xbox 360, apparently because the disc manufacturer failed to test it extensively on non-Toshiba players. It will be the first disc to use an Xbox 360 firmware update to fix an HD DVD playback problem

Can't you go throw yourself under a bus or something.. You are the #1 pityful fanboy on this site and there is a reason you only have 1 bubble.

What a misleading title.. One calibration disc has a problem and now suddenly HD-DVD's don't play on the add-on. Somebody needs to come up with a better title for this.

I'm planning on getting that hope that firmware update comes quick. Wonder if Blu-ray has one............off to go check...............

Is it to like set your contrast and colour and stuff like that? I didn't know there was a disc for that, I just go off what looks good to me. Usually I concentrate on flesh tones. If they look good everything else looks good too.

Anyone had any other movies crash on their HD addon's? I heard Children of Men had problems as well.

I've had King Kong Crash when it was on the title menu screen. But that was because the console had frozen, not because of the HDDVD drive.

They are talking about is a professional disc that lets you calibrate all sorts of things, Geometry,Contrast,Ratios,Color ,Brightness,Artifacting...ect They most of the time even let you get into the secret factory controls for tv sets, the ones that let you change every thing, and the ones that if you mess them up will ill your tv.

Took the add on apart sanded it painted it in a spray booth at my friends shop with special auto PPG plastic paint(not a spray can) that won't scratch or flake off and it looks like it came in the same box with the ELITE ((no zebra))would have done the same thing with my other Xbox but I wanted the HDMI so I sold it for $280 core with used HDD ((got the 20 HDD for $15 used and the core for $150 used 1 year ago))

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

At first I was like, No Code Veronica on the list!? But then I seen Mainline. The list checks out, but I would personally put 2 over 4.

KwietStorm_BLM9d ago

I'll take 2 over 4 also. And even without a number, I don't see how Code Veronica, my other favorite in the franchise, isn't mainline when it's the actual sequel to RE2.

Rebel_Scum9d ago

The original RE was the best. Its not on the list which makes no sense.

The remake of it was alright but should be higher on this list.

-Foxtrot9d ago

The original RE smokes VII and Village, come on.
