uhh.gif it would depend on the player... if it would down-scale the image for SDTV/EDTV

but there aren't any HD-DVD or BRD players that exist yet...

also... why would you do that? why not just use a regular DVD player? both of the formats are supposedly forward-compatible anyway uhh.gif

The x360 will output to any resolution that your television supports. I don't know how the PS3 will handle this, I suspect it will not have this functionality.

In addition the x360 doesn't use HD-DVD, it uses regular DVD.

OK a few things...

Thax: Bill Gates stated that they were considering a HD-DVD player for the xbox.

Now to the HD-DVD question, HD-DVD and BR-DVD are both formats for a disc. Just as CD and DVD discs are. HD-DVD just means that basically the format of the disc is different, but it will still carry the same information that you could find on a DVD. Now, HD-DVD can carry high-definition video that would probably be displayed in 1080i or 720p, however if you had a standard definition TV then it would most likely scale down the resolution so that you can view it.
