Re: Getting purple dots on the screen when starting up...
This would have to be some sort of defect on the motherboard as long as these dots are only noticed when you turn on your console and not noticed while watching tv.

Have you tried disconnecting the HDMI cable from both the TV and the console and then trying to reconnect?
Y+RT does not reset controllers for the Xbox 360, so not sure what you are attempting there?
What type of TV do you have? It appears the issue is with either your cable or the TV seeing that you are having the same issue with both your PS3 and Xbox 360.
I still think your first step should be to disconnect all cables from both ends and reconnect. (with poer off of all sytems of course) If this doesn't solve your issue then submit further information on your setup such as TV make and model and I can research other possibilities.
Have you tryed a different tv? Sometimes the HDMI or the cables you hook up from the xbox to the tv are jacked up /. Either try a new tv or new cords...[:
the only thing i can think of is that you havent flicked the switch on the hdmi cables wher the plug into the xbox from tv to hdmi, if you have the go ahead and get it replaced
most likley a cable issue if you are using hdmi make sure its fully homed in same with the others but have you checked the display settings on your xbox? otherwise borrow another cable just to find out
Sounds like you have an incorrect output signal from the Xbox or a fried chipset in the Xbox. Test the Xbox on another TV or monitor, test another video source on that same connection, if both of those fail, replace the Xbox. Hope it helps!
I have it and it works great!
For all TVs, the TV have to be on fixed settings on standard, dot-by-dot mapping, noise reduction off. The camera's exposure the same for both side-by-side shots.
Just set it on standard and it should work...
Hudeez:
1. Did you check your TV Menu Settings ??
2. Also on the XBOX 360 Menu. Go to the SYSTEM MENU (PURPLE). CONSOLE SETTINGS and select DISPLAY. Then you'll find the HDTV Settings and pick your resolution for TV Set. Done....
