Halo 3 and VGA

So I have GoW, like any normal xbox 360 owner. And like many other xbox 360 owners, I'm running my 360 into a 22" VGA monitor. Everything was fine, until I downloaded the update to GoW and it forced 480p output through the VGA cable. Several weeks laters, still no fix; I don't even play GoW anymore for that reason.

If Halo 3 does not have support for letterboxing on VGA at all resolutions (omit 480p, obviously), I'm not buying it.

Comments?

I think it's ridiculous that Microsoft would release an expensive cable and then not require developers to properly support it. All games should support full 16:9 resolutions, letterboxed 16:10 resolutions, and the option of letterboxed or fullscreen 4:3 resolutions.

I fully agree with DWells.

I have a VGA monitor too, I don't really play. GoW anymore because of that update. I say we should all start a rabble outside of Microsoft.

Honestly I'm surprised that they don't support it... Sounds really quite wierd...But that sucks...

Halo 3, well I believe it would support it only because they are forcing (or at least to to make it so) them to satisfy all ranges of people and their setups...If they left some people in the dark well, you'd get a loss of sales...They don't want that

I'm confused... what's not supported with the VGA Cable? I'm playing GoW via VGA in 720p/1080i just fine.

Have you gotten the most recent online update via Xbox Live? It bumps you down to 480p, fullscreen.
