Hi I have a PS2 and both the Wii and the PS2 are Standard Definition. On the PS2, I used to have problems sometimes reading text because of the low resolution. Do you think the Wii will ahve the same problem? Do you hae problems with seeing whats on screen because of the low resolution?

Yes, you'll have problems

Some games like Puzzle Quest are unplayable unless you take advantage of the 480p (with cables of course)

It's on a per-game basis.

Majority of the Wii titles are fine and readable at 480i (standard TV display), although some game developers don't realize that 12pt fonts are unreadable on standard TVs (such as the aforementioned Puzzle Quest), requiring you to either strain your eyes to read, or get a TV capable of a component display to make the thing readable within 3ft distance of the screen.

So do you think this problem is big enough to make me consider going xbox360 for the HD res? Its not only the reading but the whole game over all. Even the aiming isnt very accurate.
