New Update Messed Up My 360

So, the new update that was supposed to address 1080p and VGA-related issues (which were caused by the previous update) now causes my display to be shifted around 4-5 inches to the right and bordered by a thin border. Before the update, everything was great. I was able to enjoy Gears of War and movies in a very clean and sharp 720p or 1080i signal. Now, I have to manually adjust the my Samsung DLP to shift the image to the right and zoom in a bit. That just plain sucks. Why did MS have to go in and mess with non-1080p-related stuff. There doesn't seem to be a firmware update that it releases that doesn't mess up someone's system in some way or another. In fact, I just had another friend have to return their 360 because it simply broke. People complain about Sony's build quality... well, basing it on all the people I know who have broken 360s, I would say that MS is way, way, way, way, way, way worse. One guy I know is on his 4th or 5th 360 now!

Anyway, I hope that MS gets on the ball and addresses some of these issues that people are having or it is going to have a lot worse problems than this guy who is putting a class action case against them.

    I don't know if you've seen this, but here's a video I watched on YouTube supposedly telling a really shocking truth behind PS3's backward's compatibility http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoCD9TwLrVs

    Actually, if you are using a component cable, the PS2 and PS games look quite good... at least most of them. It's just when you use HDMI that a lot more games look bad. That is because HDMI does not allow for a 480i signal, which is what most PS2 games run at. Progressive scan games look good, obviously. If you plan on playing a lot of older games then I would suggest using a component cable to hook up your PS3.
