(secretly in back)

These idiots will buy anything. We will sell all these crappy 360's and (since we have already maxed out the processors with odst) we'll come out in a few months with something new (not backwards nor forwards compatible), but they will buy it anyways.

who the hell is going to hook up an HD console, or anything capable of displaying HD via wireless? It flat-out doesn't work on 1080p content, and most of the time won't even work with 720p.

Run a wire people, it's easy.]]>Sep 22nd 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-kicks-out-50-rebate-for-299-xbox-360-elite/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-kicks-out-50-rebate-for-299-xbox-360-elite/
The bandwidth ranges are:

SD 480p: 1 Mbps (Broadcast quality) to 2 Mbps (DVD quality)
HD 720p: 2.25 Mbps (Broadcast quality) to 4.5 Mbps (Near transparent with original)
HDX 1080p: 4.5 Mbps (Broadcast quality) to 9 Mbps (Near Blu-Ray quality)

Depending on the actual bandwidth available to the user, a corresponding quality level is used for the resolution. The more bandwidth you have, the higher the quality.

So, you can stream HDX at broadcast quality with just 4.5Mbps of bandwidth, but you would need 9Mbps to get the highest-quality near-Blu Ray HDX.
