Time to upgrade to HD. You've only been missing out for about 10 years since PC gamers have had it.

Looks better than TP on my SDTV(I switched to check how it'd look several months ago, Normally use a 19" PC monitor) It's a 29".

I'm guessing you have a Black and white 5" portable SDTV.

Not only will you not get improved graphics, but you are also blind as a bat. First of all, playing it on an HDTV isn't going to magically set the game's settings on high or whatever...it's a damn tv, not a graphics card so stop thinking that way please. Second of all, Lost Planet looks miles ahead of Zelda TP, you just have awful taste.

You serious...?

 

When I got my HD cables for my 360 the change is absolutely HUGE.  An hd tv does matter...you sure you know what you're talking about?

My friend and I compared gears on a 27" SDTV and a HDTV of about the same size. the difference is very noticable.

The difference is noticeable, but only the colours, and the clarity(barely). You guys are acting like there are lots of extra textures and details being shown that can't be seen with SDTV. Who are you trying to kid?

yeah jeez and playing games at 800X600 looks the same as playing a game at 2048 X 1516....O.o... More pixels = sharper image... going from 420i to 720p,1080i,1080p surely wouldn't increase that any......

Zelda has a better art style for some people. The high resolution graphics are both rendered basically to 480i and Lost Planet loses its sharpness I could see you saying Zelda could look better. But on a HDTV the difference is huge. 480i and 1080i does make a big difference.

If you're a family man, you're better off gaming on PC.  The kids will be all over the consoles.  If you're not, why is your mortgage ridiculously that much?

At least you have your priorities straight...  HD isn't worth extra debt... Especially as in a few months you can get what people now payed 1200 for for much, much less...

Try playing Dead Rising on both. The difference is HUGE.

Meh, its just a TV

I wouldnt bother wasting money on a new TV anyway even if you could afford it......it makes no difference whether your TV is 12" or 30" if there are no good programmes on.

But live and let live - some people spend hundreds of quid on TV's.

Are you playing on a handheld TV?

Lost Planet has polygon counts that are orders of magnitude higher than Zelda, and way higher resolution textures and normal maps.  There's also great particle/smoke effects, anti-aliasing, per-pixel motion blur, long draw distance, hughe boss creatures...even on an SDTV the differences should be obvious.

Then sell your 360 and stick with the Wii.
