    I think that's the case. People don't seem to read anymore. Go to a site like GameFaqs and kids are asking about what buttons to press so you can play a game, and that's scary when those answers are in the manual.

      This is true, but it theoretically shouldn't matter. The 360 component cables are the only ones I have ever seen that has a switch you have to toggle in order to "unlock" the ability to receive an HD image. Every other set of component cables out there just either does or doesn't do it, depending on what the source is and what the tv it is hooked up to can handle. Component cables by nature can transmit anything from 480i to 1080i.

          Ok, and that is great. I really don't feel the need to get into a semantical debate with you about it. I was talking more about people who can read just fine, but are either lazy or ignorant when it comes to things like manuals. Ones who have the ability to find out how to do something on their own, but need someone to do everything for them and hold their hand.

          And, not to come off as crass, but those people in the link you offered are "stupid" by definition of the word. Not in the commonly used, insulting manner, but in the raw definition of the term, meaning unintelligent, and no, I don't mean the people who can't read english because it isn't their native language, either.

              Technically, with component cables you either switch it from hardware, like the HD toggle switch, or switch HD on in software when you boot up the console.

              How hard is that to comprehend? It's done like this on the PS2 and XBox--there is no hard switch, so you turn on the HD settings in the dashboard.

                  True. As a wise man once said, ignorance you can fix. Stupidity is something you're stuck with.

                    LOL, I did the whole film on the disc tray thing. I thought I got a defective 360.

                    Thanks PDiddy. You know how to make me feel like a million bucks.

                            [QUOTE=SportsorDeath] A lot of people who bought Premiums also didn't see the protective film over the disc tray door, and wondered why it wouldn't open when they pressed the button.
