It's not the system. Microsoft just requires gamemakers to put their games in a minimum of 720p.

Yeah I was playing HD games on an SDTV for a few years... it wasn't usually that unbearable. I couldn't play Prototype, the text was too small. MGS4 with the large icons was great though, and AC2 was fine, even if you couldn't really read the map.

They're better looking, but it's honestly not worth it that much to me. Buying a new HDTV isn't cheap. If I had infinite money I would buy a new TV sure, but I upgraded my computer and my laptop first. More important.
Also, HDTVs create problems with music games, which further deters me. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The difference is there yes and I can see it. But since the difference doesn't blow my mind (A.k.a SDTV are just fine) I consider it to be negligible.
But that might just be because I almost never use my TV, and when I do use it it's to play games that appear just fine on a SDTV (Ps2, Wii, other older gen consoles). I rarely play on my 360 and PS3 which are nowadays just used to watch videoclips and listen to music. -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lo0qD6rOz8 ... Copied to Clipboard!

I have no idea what lag you're talking about
HDTVs almost across the board add a couple frames of visual lag, adding a delay between in game action and when it appears on the screen. That's what Paratroopa was talking about when he mentioned rhythm games, and it's a problem for a few other genres as well (or any game, if you're sensitive enough that it bothers you). SDTVs don't have that problem. ... Copied to Clipboard!

KimPilgrim 06/30/11 10:48:00 PM #34: |
I've never noticed this myself. Probably because I've actively refused to play games on an SDTV for over 2 years now because of how awful it looks!

I hate to sound like a dick about it, but if you're playing a modern game on an SDTV, I wouldn't even consider that a legitimate gaming experience. You may as well be playing on a broken tv that's missing 20% of the screen.

From: KimPilgrim | #034 Hell yeah. When I first got my PS3, I had a 4:3 SDTV, and was playing Metal Gear Solid 4 on that, then when I took it to my dad's, I played it on his 32 inch HDTV (and that one was only 1080i) and oh my god the beauty of the game was just, holy crap, I couldn't go back to playing the game on my crappy SDTV after that. Luckily my dad gave me that TV not too long after, so I got to play my games in High Def. Then about a year later, I got this awesome 47 inch LED TV, which I'm looking at right now. It's so freakin' pretty. I love it. Although it had cost me 1400 dollars with my walmart discount at the time.
