Yeah the xbox360 is like the most awesome dvdplayer around, that article is definitely written by a ps3 fanboy out to throw shit at the superior xbox360....NOT
They do say that some titles get effected more then others by the 360 lacking dvdplayer, Not that many titles looks as crap as the monthy python one..
"even those movies that play without noticeable errors don't look quite as good as they should. Though the 360 is limited to 480p through component, in compliance with the DVD Forum's regulations, the images tend to have a bit of a blocky and over-sharp look to them. Microsoft's gaming box does a good job of preserving detail, but it sometimes looks a bit rough. It's like playing a game at low resolution without antialiasing."
