HDTV Splitscreen problem! 4:3 Aspect ratio??!?!?!

As some of you know, I recieved my Halo 3 copy today from the Pontiac contest. I have been playing campaign fine by myself for about an hour. My brother just got here and we went in to do some splitscreen co-op campaign, and bam... Theres black bars on the left and right side of the screen! I tried going through every setting, reading the manual, checked my Xbox360 settings but it wont change! Any suggestions (or anyone else with their copy confirm this issue?) Thanks.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tengaport here's a quick pic in case anyone was wondering what it looks like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/popkid/1439832913/ that's a 46" displaying as a 36" :([/quote] This article pretty much sums up the exact same disappointment I've had with splitscreen when playing with my brother. Imagine though, instead of it being 46" it is a 37 or 32 incher, which then equates to 27 or 22 inches. With this screen size in splitscreen, the game is practically unplayable. My brother and I are now literally a few feet away from the screen when we play Halo 3. This is inexecusable. I paid a good amount of money to play splitscreen with my brother and now here we are, on the the 4th day of the release of Halo 3, eager to put Gears of War back in our system because we plain and simply can not see what we are shooting at. I thought we were finally done with Gears upon the release of Halo, but who would have thought that this simple design flaw would actually make me consider going back to Gears of War and trading in Halo 3. And we are HUGE Halo fans and before this splitscreen dilemma, trading in a Halo game would have been considered sacrilegious, but now it is to the point where all the fun we once had playing the game is gone. When the fun is gone then the game is gone. Goodbye Halo 3. I'm sure we could have had lots of fun if only we could have only seen you. [Edited on 09.28.2007 8:51 PM PDT]
