But at least it's the same on all Xboxes. It's not bad on some and good on others. Then again, the fact that Sony is using original hardware and yet is still having problems is just sad. I mean, Microsoft is emulating the xbox on completely different architecture. With a couple hundred games working well, they have beaten all the PC xbox emulators, which are all way older than the 360's emulator. But considering how big MS is, it's just lazy to only have that many games...but at least the 360 uses it's extra horse power to do extra AA unlike Sony.


Yes true, at least they're still working on it...and I thought they were done with BC according to Peter Moore.

Well, it's really slow tbh. I'm definately going to get an original XBOX eventually considering how low the BC is...

The PS3 has proven woefully inadequate in its ability to display PS2/PS1 games with decent scaling and with minimal lag on HDMI HDTVs. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=753069
