hd reely that big?

I get paid this week and i was looking to get a ps3 but i dont have an hd tv.

so do i use my money and get a hd tv and then save up for a ps3? Or does the games look good on a SD tv?

looks good on sd but the graphics arent mind blowing unless its hd.

id get the tv first, the ps3 after killzone 2 comes out. just bide your time and then all teh good games will be out when you buy it.

It also helps if you have a Sams Club or Cosco near you.

i would recommend getting the HDTV, as well. and for a bit more you can get a great set.

i got my 1080p 32" sharp aquos for $950.. it's not much more than what you're willing to spend.. but trust me, it's worth it.

Does the Sharp Aquos still have banding issues? I heard they were heavily discounting their sets because of issues with banding.

No you need to find a 1080p HDTV for $600. Tough luck finding one of those... You're in the same dilemma I'm in right now. The only decent 1080p HDTV's seem to be high up in the 1300 or 1500 dollar range (Canadian $).

First off for 600 bucks your not going to be able to afford anything larger than say a 37" if that. So why would you even want 1080p... to see a real difference with 720p/1080i vs 1080p you need at least 55" or larger. So go to your local wal-mart and buy you a Sanyo or Emerson 32-37" LCD TV.

Do Sanyo's still exist? I thought they changed their name to Vizio.

Sanyo does still exist and has some Walmart presence. Vizio is it's own company.

From what I have seen the LCD HDTV's are better for all around viewing because any abient light doesn't effect it that much. Where the other types of HDTV's are harder to view unless the light is low in the room.jimm895

All tv's have their pros and cons.

Ugh... and people tell my my high end PC gaming is expensive. I'm going to have to dish out somewhere around $2500 dollars for an HDTV that can play PS3 games at their finest, as well as a PS3, all its required equipment to hook it up to the internet, a few controllers, and a boatload of games... jesus christ, I wouldn't be surprised if it added up to higher than $2500... compared to a $1200 PC.. :,(. And I still want to upgrade my PC once Nvidia releases information for it's new line of DX10 cards... and get a 24" LCD for it... AGHHHHH SO MUCH BLOODY MONEY!!!Rottenberry

Misinformation and little to no knowledge is a terrible thing my friend. My 32" 1080p Toshiba costed me 1299$ for Christmas sale.

It's a 10-15 years investment and it's worth very much. You don't buy TV every year.

Get a good TV first then PS3. You will enjoy it a lot.

Consoles DO end up costly about as much asa PC nowadays. It's a misnomer that the reverse is true.

I would say go with the 720p for now, 1080p is just too expensive at the moment. SDTV is not bad tho me and my roommate both have ps3s on sdtvs and although its not as sweet as playing on my bros hdtv its still pretty amazing. TYLERxDURDEN

It's better to save up for 1080p rather than buy 720p which will be outdated sooner or later.

Oh if thats the question. Yea it will kinda hold at 1080p eventually. 720 would be a waste of money if your looking for the next 6 years. But theirs also more to it than just 1080p. If you want a great TV. You have to look at Image Contrast Ratio, and dynamic ratio and stuff.

Put it this way. In less than 3 years it went from rarely seeing a HD. To now rarely seeing a SD TV. I rarely see a SD TV anywhere now. Unless its in the back of someones garage or whatever. Heck my brother just got a HD for his garage, a small one granted. When I wnet out to a party for New Years I saw a small HD in a kitchen. 2 more years and its full HD everywhere.truenextgen

Crap man where do you live Orange County ? lol. I only know ONE person that has a HDTV.

I would get the PS3 first. You can enjoy all the games on it in SD. Sure it doesn't look spectacular but you still feel like your playing a next gen console. The problems I have had with my SD is that alot of text is so hard to read it becomes a problem. Like in Assasin's Creed I can't read anything that is on the little map lol.

I have played xbox360 on a HDTV and yes yes it truly is a whole diff experience than on SD. But wtf is the point of having the HDTV besides gaming really ? Personally I could really care less about watching some blue-ray movie about lame @ss spider man or watching a baby seal get born on Planet Earth and have it feel so real I could smell the placenta. But that's just my opinion.

I am going to be upgrading to HD just for my PS3. I too have a teeny budget. I only want something 27-32 inches or so. I was pricing some at Wal-Mart the other day, In that size... Does it really have to be 1080 ? or can I get away with a 720 ? I sit about 5 feet from my TV btw.

720 is perfect for a 32".
