PAL progressive scan is not available on a single game.

The game has to support HDTV - with a resolution of 480p.

There are two other types 720i / 720p and 1060i / 1060p - dont quote me on them. They refer to either the amount of lines on screen.

The top of the range ones do something ridiculous like 1920x1200 pixels. The xbox can output in this format. But it needs a game + tv to support it. You also need the component video leads to make it work.


I have a 36" Tosh widescreen tv which has component video connection on it. Makes the Xbox display as sweet as a nut.

Only problem being it only does 480i - interlaced - not the sexy Progressive scan. But progressive scan has to catch on for PAL media. Will this happen or will we be shafted like usual? Time will tell.
