[QUOTE="angelkimne"][QUOTE="SolidTy"]AngelKimme, still image's aren't what HD is about.
You need to go to Best Buy/Circuit City/Fry's Electronics, and check out HDTV's. Heck, just go out of your house and talk to someone knowledgeable that has a ton of Brands and 720p/1080i sets for you to see. They still exist, and you just are missing out.
You need to see moving images on a Genuine HDTV...I feel Like I'm educating my grandma on HDTV's (I had to do that last year, lol.). Seriously bro, check it out.
Still Images vs. Moving Images. Moving Images, That's where you see the Difference. That's where you see the "p" n 720p.

I play my 360 on my PC Monitor at 1440x900 sometimes and i can't see much of a difference. I've watched 1080p Vs. 720p Vs. 480p HD videos on the interwebz and can't see THAT much of a difference. I play on my friends 720p and 1080i TV's and still can't see that much of a difference. I go too TV stores and watch 480p and 1080p TV's side by side and still can't see that much of a differnce. I get HD screenshot comparison's and still can't see that ,much of a difference. I will get a HDTV, but only when terrestrial TV is actually broadcast in HD Resoloutions and games are always in 720p or above.
Until then I don't think it's worth it.
Okay, so why even have a color TV? Why even have a 360? you could technically be playing PSOne and possibly be happy. Why upgrade ever?
You want the latest tech on on side, but not the other.
However, if you don't see a difference, that's cool.
I can tell you that sometimes there hardly is a difference because of lazy devs. Take GUN for example. On 360 you essentially are playing the PS2/360 game in Widescreen. That's it.
You need to see a maxed out amazing broadcast, possibly a sports HD broadcast, or King Kong on HDDVD. There is a difference, in the right hands.
Not all TV shows are good just because they are on TV. Same with HD games, sometimes they are poor, it's all about the High Tier stuff, like Crisis.
But, you do have a monitor, so at least you tinkered around with it. You can't see it, then that's that.
I guess in the end, is there a difference? Well, it's all relative. I suppose in 20 years, people won't see a difference.
Because there's more to games than just graphics. A sophisticated console allows for engaging stories, large worlds, and strong AI, all of which require resources and power but not necessarily graphics power. For example, could anything of the scale of GTA4 (and I'm talking about storywise and gameplay-wise, not graphics-wise) be done on a PS1 or even PS2?Put it this way. Sure, there are TVs, movies and video discs out there, but for some people there's nothing like a good book.
