Ey, I was wondering...What does a 360 look on a non HDTV? I tried skate and bioshock..It looks alright..But other than that do other games look good? How good does it look compared to a HDTV?

I've heard the HDTV makes a crazy big difference, but I'm getting a 360 anyways with my regular tv. Itsnot all bad though, but it sucks not to see the sick graphics.

The 360 would still look good on a regular TV

While it won't look as good as a HDTV or on a computer monitor, it will look a lot better compared to a PS2 or a Wii for that matter.

Looks great for me. Get S-video cables if your TV supports it. Looks sharper and colors don't wash out.

I had SD for about a year, just recently bought myself an Aquos and theres no comparison, Gears of War and Halo 3 look phenomenal on HD.

Hmm, another one of these threads then. Of course 360 games will look better in HD, but that shouldnt stop you from getting a 360 if you havent already. The games play exactly the same for crying out loud.

it looks...regular. HD is just gonna make it look better, its not gonna slow your game down when you play on a regular TV, so its not a huge transition, unless itsa big effing TV

I have a 36" regular TV and it still looks amazing, but an HD TV does make a world of difference. Well worth the purchase either way.

Why not just use this? You get the great graphics without the expense of an HDTV.

it looks next-gen on a SD TV. the only way an HD Tv can make a difference if its a huge Tv otherwise it is only going to look a little bit better.

if getting an HD, get an LCD, plasma= bad for Tv.

It looks fine in SD but I do plan on getting an HDTV soon so as to get the most out of my 360.

360's wont work on standard TV's by spring update of 2008. Search "predicted obsoletion xbox 360" in google.

Frickin nubs. I know a guy who asked me if I can play HD-DVD's on a regular dvd player. His reasoning was that he saw a movie being played on a tv in a store. It wasnt an HD movie, but the tv was big....

You still need an HDTV with VGA input genius. Or you could use your 17" Fullscreen Acer monitor and play in 1024x768 nub.
