Question About Xbox 360 and Wide Screen

Post by evil_ash_xero »

I'm interested in getting an Xbox 360 soon, but I was wondering about it's widescreen options.

What I mean is, if I want to get PacMan CE, do I have to have a widescreen TV to play it properly, or do most of these games have an option to play in a more normal TV ratio? I have a HD TV, but it isn't a widescreen, and I would hate this to be an issue.

It will play letter boxed unless the game has a built in switch that automatically switches itself to the full screen mode implemented by the developers.

Most games have all foreseeable options for tvs built into them, so it can all be native. but these downloadable ones may not, just to save space. so it might end up being letter boxed on a 4:3 tv.
