Maybe it's just me but X-Play was not in HD. I have the HD channel but the 1000th episode was not. Still aired as regular SD on HD. So still much better than it was before I got the HD channel.
Did I miss something or is it starting for the episode after that one?

x-play is a totally different show now, too scripted and too commercial. it's gone all corporate on us. and what's with morgans bangs she's looking more butch everyday.

I'm still waiting for Dish Network to hurry up and get G4 in HD. It's bull that they haven't done so yet.

Finally, the channel that covers "High Tech" devices will be,...high tech! And yes it does matter. Games look worse than last-gen on standard definition TV shows. Finally G4TV will be as awesome as Gametrailers!

This is going to be epic! Or, failing that, getting pretty close. The HD thing isn't really that exciting, personally. It just dosen't look that impressive as far as I've seen. But then again, I don't have an HD supporting TV.
Also RedRingsOfDeath, you are right in saying that Special Agent Bob & Secret Agent Steve had better be on there. Those guys are HILARIOUS!

RedRingsOfDeath

Wow, all my gaming gods in one show.

Finally. X-Play in HD. Hopefully that means AOTS will be in HD as well. It's been kind of silly having G4 in HD the past few months with most of the G4 programs not being shot in HD.

Does anybody know if G4HD is on DirecTV??
darkspectre
