From everything I've read, the HDMI 360's don't have the new cooler hardware yet, but its supposed to get phased in by the end of the year.

100% of the people I know have had no problems with their 360's. :wink: I seriously think that many people hook them up without the video cable fully connected or something else simple that causes red rings and just freak out.

BTW... Dreamcast REZ is better than PS2 REZ.  It runs in 480p and therefore looks much cleaner with less jaggies.

And is also in Japanese, and is even MORE expensive than PS2 Rez...

It's in Japanese?  I didn't notice.  I'll have to play it again.  Maybe you are thinking of a REZ text adventure game?

I would like to understand the menus...it took me a week to work out the options screen of Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius and map it on paper...

It's seriously going to be a long time before I can get a 360.  Most people I know have had their's breakdown.  One of my friends is on his third :P  I just can't put up with that.  I know there will be a game or 2 here & there that I'll want, but, I can't chance wasting money on a 360 system.  I'll just pick up the games I know I want for it, when I see them go cheap(like the LE Perfect Dark Zero I got new for $10 as TRU).  Otherwise, I have a PS3 now, & will someday get a Wii.  They both seem really reliable.........so far.

That's why you buy the Euro DC release...

Like any shooter, there is so little text in Rez it just doesn't matter. If language is a barrier, then Rez is wasted on you anyway. Rez transcends language...all six words of it.

Anyway, I find excitement over ports like this to be kind of lame. To me its basically people getting excited because back in the day they wasted their money on PS2 shit like GTAIII, which is now worth less than $5, and didn't buy Rez, which is now worth...well, pretty much what it cost originally, and actually has a lasting appeal. I bought a EU DC copy for $40. I don't think its much more than that now, is it?

They are the same people that played MHSvsSF, or KOF on Playstation, and then got so excited when they heard about Final Burn because now the cash they wasted on mainstream crap isn't so painful.

Trigger Heart isn't that great, but Ikaruga and Rez are legends, IMO. Still, if patient they can be had for $50 each, or less, which is a f*ckload less than a new system. Furthermore, playing these games in a Sega system is true, where as playing them on the 360 is false.

Scan that paper or type what the menu items are here.  I'd like to know as there are tons of selections that I was too lazy to investigate.

the ikaruga and rez news doesn't excite me much personally - since i imported both of those gems the day they first hit the dreamcast.
(did the same for trigger heart excelica - which is definitely not a "must have" - and every other dreamcast shooter for that matter)
however, it's rad that cats who were too silly not to do that now have a chance to atone for their sins :wink:

news of the original shooter by hudson is what has me stoked out of my socks:

getting closer to having to buy a 360 now.

The game does offer a "tate" mode so no worries there...as the graphics go, the resolution should be sharp in 720p and 1080i so that the polys don't look soft.

Another reason to buy these games on 360 is that most are now offering online co-op play.  I've bought Streets of Rage II on Wii, but when it was released on Xbox Live Arcade I had to buy it as it had not only HD smoothed graphics, but online co-op and online vs mode as well (oh and achievements to get my gamerscore up).

Online co-op for classic games on newer consoles is very cool. 8)

Sure you can do it through computer emulation, but losers like me don't play games on computers, and its cool to hook up with people through Gamertags and you can private chat while you play. :P
