The FileShack HD footage has begun! As we upload new titles they will be added to this list below! We're of course doing the HD footage for the Mercury members to start out but we'll be adding the slightly lower resolution videos (with an HD sample) for everyone else later on in the night. But hey we're hoping you guys sign up and support us doing cool stuff. You can expect more footage every day of the show but for now enjoy the Xbox 360 helping! Dont worry we've got Playstation3 stuff coming too... and of course PC games!

- HD or Lowres Gears of War (holy crap!) - HD or Lowres Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion - HD or Lowres Project Gotham Racing 3 - HD or Lowres Lost Odyssey - HD or Lowres Ghost Recon 3 - HD or Lowres Kameo - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage #1 (Includes Quake4!) - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage #2 - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage #3 (includes Perfect Dark Zero!) - HD or Lowres Xbox 360 montage EA Games - HD or Lowres Call of Duty 2 - HD or Lowres Dead or Alive 4 - HD or Lowres Need for Speed : Most Wanted - HD or Lowres NBA2K6

Oh and for the two most common questions:

I would subscribe for Shack's hi-def material, except the files barely run. ~2-3FPS, massive frame droppage.

f.y.i.:

i'm on a 1.5GHz PowerBook G4
w/ 512MB DDR Ram

Type: display
Display Type: LCD
VRAM (In Use): 64 MB
Resolution: 1280 x 854
Depth: 32-bit Color
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes

I've installed divx and xvid codecs. WMP9 is terrible for the Mac. I wish there were quicktime versions of these videos, possibly even using h.264.

Any hope for stronger Mac Support Steve? Please!!! I really want to see these high-def videos.

No lame comments about the mac, please.

  According to Apple (in their HD website), you need a G5 to view the big HD videos, and I think the shack videos are of these resolution.
  
  I think you should be able to watch 720p videos.
