    Hey guys, I downloaded the Just cause 2 demo and I'm having a bit of an issue. I got the 360 version and the display is a little messed up. It seems like it's in wide screen or something when it's not supposed to be.(black bars at the top and bottom of screen, stretched out picture, loading screen doesn't fit on my monitor) Take in mind, I'm using a monitor running at 1280x1024 resolution, and when I downloaded the Steam version of the demo...it looked fine. I toyed with the settings on the 360 and am still not sure what to do. Can anyone please help? Thanks.

    Do you use a 4:3 TV? 'Cause the game's widescreen, and that's what's going to happen on a normal square one.

    Lots of 360 games are wide screen only, I'm surprised this is the first time you've noticed this.

    Not a widescreen resolution, thus black bars.  I, too, am surprised you haven't seen this in other games, though it could be that it's the demo version and not the full game, reserve your problems until then.

    I use a 32" SD TV  (Not WideScreen, duh)
    And I get no black bars playing the 360 version.  It's full screen,  And AWESOME.

    Is there anyway I can take this off?(widescreen, black bars) Or do I have to change my settings to widescreen?

    Do you think in the retail product there will be an option to make it fit on my screen? Because switching my display on my console to widescreen is a pain in the ass and it still doesnt look quite right...

    There are settings on the Xbox itself to display in widescreen that you can turn on.. but everything will look weird, since the game is supposed to display in widescreen but isn´t.

    I'm aware of this. I did it and it still looks strange. I wish it was in-game.
