A Maxconsole reader mailed in to vent his frustations at Microsoft's supposed false advertising of games. The Official Xbox website denotes Devil May Cry 4 is in full 1080p, but this isn't the case according to him and the PS3 box has it right in being just 720p. The gamer also draws back on evidence which suggested Halo 3 wasn't even 720p and MS advertised it as 1080p. He's so angry, then that he threatens he will sue Microsoft although we're not sure how this would hold up in court.

Apparently Microsoft is claiming on their website that Devil May Cry 4 is 1080p when it is only 720p and Halo 3 is listed as being 1080p also when in fact, last year it was made clear that it wasn't even 720p. This is blatant false advertising. Go to xbox.com and search DMC4 and Halo 3 and you'll see on the resulting pages their false advertising. Thought you guys could investigate this. I recently bought the DMC4 on Xbox 360 because I thought that it was better. I went to the store and looked at the back of both the PS3 and 360 versions of the game and on the back of the PS3 DMC4 it said it was 720p which is correct and on the back of the 360 version it claimed it was 1080p just like xbox.com states. I bought the 360 version thinking it was better even though I wanted to buy it on PS3 because I feel like the PS3 controller better suits that kind of game. I was conned. Capcom has obviously come out and said that the PS3 and 360 versions run at the same res. I have a feeling that DMC4 and Halo 3 aren't the only games that are being sold as 1080p. I feel so ripped off. I'm going to sue.
