HD is so affordable right now it's not even funny. Here is a great display at Wal-Mart for $450.

Sony is wrong on one thing, 1080p isn't a necessity. 720p looks great.

Yes, in the coming years. Around the time that Nintendo releases their next system, with HD functionality :P.

Think about that for a sec. That means that 60% of ps3 owners can be considered "casual" or even worse. For goodness sakes even most casuals know the ps3 is a blue-ray player!!!

That is hilarious. You always here cows/lems telling sheep how Nintendo and the Wii is casualville...yet they are just as bad, if not worse.

Thats like someone buying a Wii and not knowing it had motion control.

You ppl saying it´s too early for blu ray and for HD are idiots, that´s not the reason there not doing amazingly well, it´s the fact that it´s a major transition. You really think if the ps3 came out in 5 years blu ray wouldn´t have the same problem then? The transition takes time, it can´t happen overnight.

You act as if HD didn't exist before 360 and PS3. Making the PS3 and 360 HD compatible was like making an accessory that only works with electric or hybrid cars. There just isn't enough of an HD market yet.

But blu ray is what will make ppl know the diference, when ps3´s starts selling more and videostores start racking up the blu ray movies and so on, it´s happening ppl need to buy the gear though, but the transition has begun, give it time. Movies and games will lead the way just like with dvd´s.

I hate the term "HD" with PC's there are just different levels of resolution. If consoles are HD are PC's "super HD"? Most casuals really don't care about the amount of pixels on a screen but whether they can play the latest Madden. NO big surprise here. And I, as a sheep am not having a field day as HD is a nice thing to have but it's obvious not everyone in the world is going to utilise or care about it.

No, they don't even know that the consoles have it. Meaning the masses are casuals. Which also means that 360 and PS3 are casual farms too. :/

looks like I'm not the only one who couldn't give less of a crap about a resolution. nintendo has been WAY too smart as of late. they know exactly what the mass market will and won't buy. its almost scary how every huge risk they've taken lately turned out a huge success.

My parents bought a 50 inch HD tv, but they always watch SD versions of the local channles because it's easier to remember 2, 5, 7, 9 then it is to remember 170,173, etc.

It's painful how out of touch some people are

its not "next gen" its "current gen". so lets all harness the HD coz its so worth it. I remember when Dead Rising came out (disappointment) having chin hair counting wars.. dont miss out in the chin hairs u dont know what ur missing!!! and yes i have a girlfriend in case ur wondering :lol:. the whole point of these consoles is for High Definition if your not on a HD LCD ( or even Plasma if your short of spendoolies :? ) then theres no point having the console.. they're like peas and carrots yo

Yeah but they are great from gaming enthusiasts who do care about resolution. I don't really care what casuals do so much.

RAW power pushes gameplay the most and there's no such thing as HD graphics anyway, its just a sharper resolution for people with HDTV's.tomarlyn

?? ps3 games are made in native HD resolutions, u must be talking bout 360 upscaling games

How in the world do they not know it supports HD. If you read the hook up directions then you would have to see it. Yet again a lot of people dummer than you think.Killfox

I find that ever so slightly ironic.

Anyway HD will be ingrained into every average Joe soon. Just walk into an electronics store and they're touting HD like it's the new colour TV.

actually, majority of console owners aren't aware of HD FEATURES. as in the switch on the chord for the 360. or different video output settings on a tv.

it's not that they aren't aware of the actually difference.

What was?

Anyway it's so funny. One of the Bungie devs brought Frankie (another Bungie dev) over to his house and was showing his new HD system. He put on Dead or Alive 4, and was talking about how crisp HD looks.

Frankie walks over to the 360, switches on "HD mode", and the graphics go up a notch on Joseph Staten's brand new LCD TV.

I guess even devs sometimes don't know the difference :lol:

This is basically a sales issue. The wii is already owning in sales but SW has mostly agreed that sales mean next to nothing. Frankly I don't care what casuals think, hell I know a casual who thinks the DS is made of cardboard.
