Halo Limited To 640 x 480 Only
It was long suspected.
The detailed environments in Halo push the Xbox's graphics hardware to the limit, as evidenced by the slight framerate problems right up until release. The VGA adapter for the Xbox went AWOL, and Microsoft updated the Xbox FAQ to indicate that connecting the Xbox to a monitor wasn't possible.
Put together, it suggested that perhaps Halo would be producing output at a resolution appropriate for a standard TV-- 640x480-- even if connected to another device.

ConsoleDomain has reported that while most people at the NYC launch party were able to get their hands on an Xbox if they wanted one, that supply is now constrained.
