hdtv sdtv difference?

yeah i want to see the difference, too...

are there any websites that show the comparison??? 

ill get the ps3 the day i get out for summer, and i was deciding if i should pick up an hdtv

i play my ps2 on a pretty big screen (i think 46in) and its 12 years old

it all began with... birth by sleep 

since when is the 360 and the wii next gen???

 I found this comparison from Resistance.  It was actually captured by someone else, but it looks about right to me, since I've played the game in both sd and hd.

i suggest if u have the money, pick up one, but if it is under 50" dont worry bout 1080p, you cant tell difference between 720p and 1080p with a tv under 50", and yes there is a huge difference between sdtv and hdtv sry no pics tholions_rock_2008

next-gen consoles are all about HD.  if you're paying THAT much for a system and you don't plan on getting an hdtv before the consoles go down in price, you may as well just wait.  there's no sense in buying one at $600 if you aren't going to utilize the hd capabilities.  not even with the exclusive games would you get me to buy one without an hd tv.

Well, that pic really exaggerates the reduced detail because it's a magnified section of just a single portion of the screen. Since most SDTVs are smaller in screen size than most HDTVs the difference is less noticeable. But yes, HDTV does make a big difference because of the higher resolution and a lot of other factors (better contrast, progressive scanning, wider aspect ratio etc etc.) RFOM still looks nice on an SDTV though because of the higher polygon count, better textures, smoother animations etc so noone should think a PS3 is totally wasted on an SDTV.

It's REALLY awesome on a 40+ HDTV with full surround sound though ;)

PS3 is wasted on SD TVs period, it's like giving a Lotus to your great grand father. pimperjones

lol         EXACTLY!

pictures arent a very acurate way of telling the diference between sd and hd

you u wnat to know the difference just go to an electronics store and ask them to show you a movie first in 480p and then in 1080p

pictures arent going to do any good
