I bought my Wii at launch without knowing how much of a crap-fest it would be. Now, I'm no graphics whore or anything, but I've heard that using either a PS3 or 360 on a standard definition TV ends up making the games look completely horrible graphically. I'm planning on getting a PS3 for my birthday very soon, but all I own is an SDTV. Basically what I'm wondering is will all of my PS3 games look even worse than the Wii games if I use an SDTV?

While I've never used my PS3 on an SDTV, I really don't know if it'll look bad or not. However, I did use my 360 for almost 2 years on an SDTV and it didn't really look bad.

Actually, PS3 on and SDTV isn't that bad. It's just the letters and the crappy SDTVs that make it look bad for those with "incredibly sensitive" eyes. As for me, I'm going along well with an SDTV. Games are still playable, and they look about the same as they would on HD, but worse... Don't let the SDTV bother you though, I'm pretty sure you might get and HDTV afterwards once you decide to.

Good decision. I made the same one a few years ago. Don't worry...your PS3 games will never look worse than your Wii games. Enjoy your PS3!

The graphics of Ps3 will look 10times better than the wii on your SDTV.

The Ps3 on a GOOD HDTV makes game look that much better, but even on a SDTV you will see the technicall jump of ps3 over the wii. You will love the graphcis even on cheap SDTV.

Not only that, but you will sense the physics, content, game size and budget jump over the wii conterpart.

The ps3 fully support SDTVs just like the Wii, the only diference is the PS3 does more and can push HD graphics IF you want.

Cause it only does everything! Even playing on the outdated SD standard, it does better than the wii!


Tip: Buy and HDTV, stop delaying. And go for a FULL 1080p instead of the READY(720P), even if few games actually use 1080p there is no reason to buy a READY(720p) this late in the game.

Topics dealing with the comparison of video game systems should be brought to System Wars.
