People are telling me to get an HD TV because it's blowing them away. I don't know if I should save up for an HD TV. Is it worth it? I have a standard Norcent tv which sucks badly. Im  not sure what to do. I don't even know how much these things cost. Give me some advice please.

It looks great on an SDTV, but if you switch to an HDTV, there's no way going back to SD.

If your strapped for cash get a better cable. Like, a component if you've only got a composite cable.

The quality of a HDTV willbe evident when you finally play it on one, but make sure it's a quality one. You might get the urge to drop your money on a lower quality one just for the price decrease and you;ll find they arnt always worth the money due to the refresh rate or the color quality or a few other technical reasons that would make a beautiful PS3 game look pretty bad.

do your research before you buy anything.

I can't believe ppl are still asking this question... the difference is pretty huge and you really are missing out on a lot if you're playing the PS3 on a regular t.v. If you have the ability to save up for an hdtv, there's no way you shouldn't. Not only for the games, but for blu rays as well.

Buy a HDTV CRT instead they're extremely cheap compared to LCDs.

An HDTV doesn't help with the graphics, it just lets you see them ;)

You don't have to get some monstrosity of a TV(I have a 56" Samsung DLP *1080p*). A 27" HDTV will do just fine.

you can get a pretty dang good 1080i, 720p 32 to 50in LCD for about a 1000 bucks, i'm saving up for one as i type.

right now i just have a 480p, 1080i CRT which for some reason the PS3 screen gets cutoff, and once you see it in HD it really just won't look right on anything else.
