TV glitch mars Xbox 360 Kong game
Fans wanting to get the best out of the King Kong video game should avoid the version for Microsoft's new Xbox 360, the game's maker Ubisoft has suggested.Ouch. This is just sad. However, the headline is misleading, as there is no "TV glitch."
...
"When you play on an Xbox or a PlayStation 2, you start to see that it is beautiful," he said.
The Ubisoft boss said the team who made the game used certain settings on high-definition TV screens. It did not occur to them that there would be a problem with standard televisions, which are what most people use to play console games.

You know - this really doesn't surprise me. I've seen a number of Xbox 360 games on HDTVs at stores, and I have yet to be impressed.
For instance, King Kong looked like it had really nice lighting and detailed textures but the game seemed to run, at most, 30 frames per second, if not less. It was rather choppy. What good is "amazing" graphics if they look choppy?
"...standard televisions... are what most people use to play console games," is a really good point. Just look at the Xbox 360 - to really get the full experience you need the most expensive version - and the most expensive equipment to run it on. HDTV, Broadband internet connection, surround sound speakers. Yikes.
We have it pretty good at my house but we still have a 56k modem. And no wireless internet means I can't even play the most basic form of online video-games via the Free Wi-Fi connection of my Nintendo DS. Truth is, that's how it is for the majority of people.
And $50 dollar controllers?
