    ive been complaining about mandatory widescreen games on 360

    and today i rented fight night and oblivion (which didnt work so now i have PGR3) and it pissed me off that fight night is widescreen. for this game it doesnt really matter since you dont really have to pin point stuff on the screen but like i kept doing, i went to the system settings to make sure it was set to the standard format and it was. i decided to switch it to widescreen and i restarted the game and now its full screen. WTF is this? are game developers ----ing with our minds? are they trying to piss us (me) off on purpose?

    this is freaking ********. im gonna test graw later to see if it works for that game too. would be $64.94 down the drain if it doesnt work. i havent touched GRAW since the day after i bought it because of widescreen.

        I love the widescreen visuals even on my SD Wega. Seriously, I can put up with the letterboxing if it means I get that nice wide viewing area. Really made fight night look like a movie as well. Pretty neat IMO...

            Maybe time to go buy a TV that makes it happen..If u have the Money to get the 360 and all the games may be time to save up a lil and get HDTV that can make it happen. U can get them easily for under $500 now. Good luck

              GRAW is letterboxed in 1 player (if u don't have a widescreen TV), and full screen in multiplayer

                took me a bit to get used to gaming on my smaller monitor (using the VGA cable), but now I love it, and i've played a billion hours of Oblivion widescreen, don't even notice it anymore

                  Yea I noticed this a few weeks ago. I set the xbox to widescreen and now I get full screen but it still gives off a widescreen look with the thinning of everything. I just stay on Normal which gives a true 16:9 ratio

                    I personally love that every game is widescreen now. I have a standard Sony Wega, but playing games with the 16:9 ratio makes them look much cleaner, not to mention you can see a lot more of the action (especially with sports titles). It drove me nuts with the original Xbox that some games would just look stretched out because they didn't support widescreen...

                      I feel your pain. Just last week I was flaming about this very thing on another thread. Well, I said the hell with it - talked to my wife about not going on a vacation this year, then went out and picked up a 32" LCD HDTV ($1,000.00). After hooking up the 360, ordering comcast HD and picking up a progressive scan DVD player ($75.00), I'm blown away by the difference in the 360 games and our widescreen DVD's.

                      Good luck
