Microsoft to Improve Xbox 360 Chat Quality
This is glorious news! Because of the upcoming Kinect, Microsoft is planning on upgrading the 360′s codec and audio infastructure, making for [hopefully] clearer chat sessions when playing online. According to Live Studios’ Jerry Johnson,
“The codec we used when we first launched was a low bit rate codec and we stuck with that.”
Apparently because of the older 64k connections people had, the codec was tailored for that rather than the nice broadband most people enjoy today.
“It’s time for us to move on. Especially if we want to think about broadening – a crackly headset on the top of your head – not what people think of when they talk about popular entertainment.”
Oh, okay… so the reason for such crappy online chat was due to laziness on their part… gee, Microsoft you’re so generous.
