Just out of curiosity how many of yall that have a 360 or a PS3 play on a HDTV? Did you get get HD just for your games or were you gonna buy a HD set anyways?

didn't buy one strictly because of any specific system...just wanted better picture quality in general. Only TV I really watch is on local channels, so I get those with OTA HD. Otherwise, I watch DVD's or play games, which benefit from 480p/720p/1080i.

My current consoles are a 360 and...dreamcast. Both hooked up with VGA.

I pretty much got it just for my games since I don't watch TV much, but it's also great for football (and Blu-Rays once I get my PS3).

I can't speak for PS3, but 360 games on standard def don't look much better than Xbox games imo. I though Perfect Dark Zero was kinda ugly until I played it in HD.

Plus a lot of games use tiny tiny white font that is very readable on HDTVs but you can't see at all on SDTVs (PGR, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, etc.)

yeah, cuz pdz is representative of most xbox 360 games out over the last TWO YEARS

but I guess since everybody is pretty much saying 360/PS3 without HD isn't that great, we must all be wrong.

i got a PS3 and didn't have an HDTV until a few months ago.
the PS3 didn't look that great until i got the HDTV.
playing NBA 2k7 in standard def, i could barely make out the scores.
in HD, its a whole different story. shit looks ridiculous.
i got an HDTV bc i was planning on getting one anyway, but the PS3 helped.
if you're planning on buying an HDTV, id check out www.secondact.com
i bought my Sharp there refurbished, shit was mad cheap and came good as new.

Despite what a lot of people say, HD makes a HUGE difference.

as a reward to myself. easily one of the best purchases i've ever made. i only had ps2 at the time, but remember being blown away for months by the quality of hd programming.

now, i'm starting to become more of a hd snob. i'll turn on my tv and get disgusted at the tiling or color of a broadcast (nbc sunday night nfl), or the fact that they're showing upconverted sd feeds of sporting events.

i got a 360 at the start of 2006 and it's been amazing. another one of the best purchases ever made, even though at the time i thought it might not be worth it. i easily overcame my buyer's remorse and have spent many hours in front of the tv playing with friends.

other people that i know with 360 and no hdtv don't seem to enjoy it as much, and they are rarely online. it might be more of a personality thing where they don't value the gaming experience enough to play heavily, or spend the $ on the big tv, but it definitely seems like they're not enjoying the 360 as much as they could.

...and yes it makes a BIG difference

I wanted something to show off the picture quality and to waste some time with

getting the 360 was icing

Cool, thats pretty much what I wanted to know. I'm thinking its about time I saved up and copped a HD set as a graduation gift for myself and then a 360 later on. It's good to know that it makes a difference as far as just watching TV too even though I don't do much of that.

Thanks for input

consoles and other channels are just icing on the cake.
