Microsoft - for some unknown reason, has hard-coded the resolutions for this
game. Thus you cannot play at 848x480 (EDTV plasma) 1920x1080i (HDTV set) or
even 1280x720 for widescreen LCD displays or plasmas. You only get 640x480,
800x600, or 1024, 1280.
I can't believe they don't even support the STANDARD Geforce4/ATI Radeon
resoltion of 1280x720.
This is just one example of that.
PC users are about to find out what it's been like to use a Mac for the last
5 years :)

If microsoft just used their own DirectX correctly you can have ANY
resolution you want - that is one of the great things about DIrectX......
ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I own an Xbox, like it, even have Xbox Live. Racing games online with the
Xbox and the voice communicatior are cool,
however, for smooth online play that's got the best graphics you can get my
PC wins hands down.
I've also been surprised at how few Xbox games support 16:9 - especially
since there's a 16:9 setting in the Xbox setup menu.
And I can't understand why some games (RSC included) insist on using a
non-standard 5:4 format (1280x1024)...

I want 1280X1024 or 1600X1200.

For a game not to support DirectX correctly is just stupid - especially when
this is a MS published title.
I am proud of you that you can run your games at 1600x1200 on your 12"
monitor. Enjoy.
