does anyone know what version of hdmi is used for ps3 & xbox360?

not sure but up to now they have version 1.0 to 1.4 the better the version the more bandwidth the hdmi cable can handle

i wonder if devs need to take that into account when making games?

PS3 is 1.3 and Xbox 360 is 1.2 I believe.

Why would they botter with it since most games comes at 720P?MonsieurX

Xbox - 1.2

PS3 - 1.3a

It's been answered.

360 = Originally None, added HDMI 1.2 later

PS3 = 1.3

There you go.

you were going so well until you spewed this pile of cow crap. hdmi 1.3 merely ups the bandwidth to support higher resolutions (1440p), deep color and x.v.Color. deep color adds support for 10, 12 and 16 bit color (several billion colors compared to 8 bit which is 16.7 million colors.) x.v.Color expands the color palette (for the US, this would be the NTSC color gamut). here's where you screwed up. in order to take advantage of deep color and x.v.color, you need a tv capable of not only accepting these signal, but also displaying it. some lcd tv's claim to be x.v.color and deep color compliant but that's bs. most lcd panels are 8 bit (16.7 million color). what they do is accept the extra color and display only the ones that the tv can display. some panels, though few, are actually 10 bit. also, not a single ps3 game ever made has support for deep color or x.v.color. these are mainly for blu-ray movies which, ironically most blu-ray movies aren't made with anything higher than 8 bit color. this means that x.v.color and deep color are pretty much a waste right now. as for hdmi 1.4, that adds ethernet functionality to the hdmi cable, an even more expanded color gamut, 3D, 4k x 2k resolution, and an automotive connection.

all hdmi cables are capable of 1080p/24/30/60 and audio. hdmi 1.2 adds multichannel audio. hdmi 1.3 adds uncompressed multichannel audio, deep color, x.v.color and 1440p. hdmi 1.4 adds auto connection, more colors, ethernet connection, 3D, and 4K.

some of the extra stuff like x.v.color is not supported by all 1.3 versions because it depends on the company making the tv or hdmi cable they own rights to some of the added contect with the new versons of hdmi inputs (cables/device)

[QUOTE="cowgriller"]

[QUOTE="Zero_epyon"] Movies. 1.3 is better at playing higher quality content (video & audio) because it supports a higher bandwidth. Games actually look better when using a 1.3 cable on the ps3 as opposed to using a 1.1 or 1.2 cable. If you have a ps3 try it out. Of course you're tv needs to be 1.3 capable as well.Cow_tipping

true. both x.v.colr and 1440p are both optional specs but can only be included in hdmi 1.3 or higher due to the bandwidth restrictions of hdmi 1, 1.1, and 1.2.
