HD not so HD again!

So I woke up and wandered downstairs to see what Rolly and Guba were up to.

Turned out they had broken into my new HD DVD player before I did, watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

And evidence suggested that the conversion to HD did not improve the film.

"What is wrong with their faces?"

"I don't know, its been like that the whole film."

The character faces had a blue lightning effect under their skin and in some of the scenery the edges had the same lightning effect. Yes, lightning like "thunder and."

It was really weird. How much money had I just wasted? Well, none, but the principle was still there.

So I waited until the film was over before I started to look into the problem, cursing Microsoft all along the way of course.

After an intense study of 60 whole seconds I discovered that when you move the Xbox console you should make sure to plug the video connector in securely. I am sure I could have discovered this after much searching in the MS forums but my trial and error method seems to work fine.

And now, HD really is HD.

Although the HDMI vs VGA is an argument for another day.
