Splinter Cell - Video Issue

Hey,

Has any one noticed that when playing the demo of Splinter Cell on the xbox the video 'tears' when moving the camera quickly.

i had this problem on my pc games until i learnt about vsync.

Having vsync on (pc games) makes the video output be sync'd to the refresh rate of the pc monitor. thus eliminating the break up of the image and provide liquid smooth gaming.

I have never seen this before on my consoles till now and was wondering if it was down to my tv being a bit crap...

cheers

Can't say I have ever seen this problem with the demo.

yup, it seems to be an issue, but only when not looking through one of the filers (ie it doesnt happen in nightvision or heat mode).

weird, but i assumed it would be fixed in the final release build - anyone with a copy want to confirm/reject this??
