BongoBob Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 http://www.classactionconnect.com/?q=node/682&gclid=CNmcy_CemJACFRGCGgodCGVl8w A team of class action attorneys has launched an investigation into complaints that Halo 3 was falsely marketed as a high definition product, but does not actually render native high definition resolutions. These complaints are that, although Halo 3 was advertised as having a 720p resolution (720 pixels), it natively renders at 640p (640 pixels) and is simply scaled up to 720p. Read more about it here. If you purchased the Halo 3 game, you may be entitled to recover money. ... *BANG HEAD ON KEYBOARD NOW* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I love it when non-technical people try to talk about games like they've played them for decades. They look so cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I don't own the game, but I think I'll get in on this. For mental distress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 You know, just the other day I was thinking that my life would be infinitely better if only Halo 3 would render at a higher resolution. The trauma of being lied to has really affected me for the worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermie Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 They should ship out additional, complimentary pixels to all homes that have been struck by this tragedy. The 80 pixels would also come with a handkerchief and a sippy cup, because they are clearly all babies of the crying kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Also IIRC most 360 games aren't actually 1080p, they're 720p unscaled to 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 "you may be entitled to recover money." Why? Even if they advertised the game at the resolution its actually at it would still cost $60. But yeah I agree with Hermie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 "you may be entitled to recover money." Why?640p has 28% less pixels and 28% of $60 is almost $17. Do you know what you could do with $17 after legal fees Moel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Using this logic. They should ask every single person who buys the game one question: "Do you use SDTV or HDTV?" And then adjust the price by pixels. Retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Most likely the x360's gpu cannot handle the engine rendering at 1280x720 smoothly in all places, so they upscale it. I don't own it, and it doesn't bother me, but I would prefer truth in advertising, so I'm for making MS eat this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I play this game in 720p and it looks fine. The word is that it's really hard to see the difference between 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
