    • Okay, so maybe this explains why we’re not “seeing” the difference but first hand reports are saying differently. I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t own an HDTV myself, but perhaps we’re not “seeing” the difference in that video because the Full RGB/Super White features need a display that support that colorspace and it’s just getting lost in the translation to a web video? I’m not _stating_ that’s the answer, I’m thinking out loud. I just can’t believe that people I know and have actually talked to say “Yes, there’s a huge difference enabling those features” and we’re stuck looking at a web video recorded and presented by someone trying to PROVE there’s no difference going “I can’t see much difference”….

      You’d think this would be IGN’s or GameVideos’ chance to swoop in and say “This is how you do it GameTrailers!”

      Undertow huh? Better get practicing then!

    • Matt says:

      I am glad I wasnt the only one to think that live would be having some issues with the flood of people to get undertow. It isnt released for free until 9 Pm here acording to my rough calculations (time difference I guess) and I am already having trouble downloading from and browsing marketplace.

    • Here’s a “Full RGB” versus “Limited” video done by someone _other_ than GameTrailers. Tell me you guys can’t see a difference in this video…

      That 360 truth article was great. I highly doubt MS would have admitted or released that normally.
