Lol yes it will work but with some games like Command and Conquer or Dead Rising the text can be very hard to read sometimes, I got a decent little 19 inch wide screen HDTV that goes to 720p for $245 at my local Walmart. So I can always recommend you save up and get a HDTV. :P

Yep, as long as you have either a SCART socket or 3 small round sockets (Yellow, Red and white).

Ok, I have all of those red, white, and yellow sockets. My Wii seems to work fine on it..But since 360's graphics is more better I was wondering if they'd work on it. :P Thanks.

And I'm getting Oblivion, Halo 3, and Fable 2 on day 1. Those will work right? :o

if your Wii works ok, then the 360 will have no problem.

yh it works but like others have said save up for a hdtv.

i went from 26" sd to a 42" hd and it was absolutely stunning.

then i got an hdmi cable and personally i think that makes a huge difference.

I use mine on a standard crt (not all of us can afford to pay through the nose for a new HDTV) and it works really well. I seriously recommend that you check out any kind of complaint about games with tiny text before you get them though. Dead Rising was unplayable fairly early on because mission info was displayed as tiny unreadable text at the bottom of the screen that scrolled by during fights. I hear Lost Planet has a similar problem. Maps in certain game scan also be problematic because the icons are too small as well.

seriously? I mean of course it'll work like everyone already said... but I'm just curious as to where you got this notion that it wouldn't work...

It'll work just fine. It sucks because some games pretty much require you to have one to be able to read the in-game text. Game companies need to understand that not everyone can afford paying $500+ on a TV, thats like a month's rent for me. Perhaps someday I'll be able to afford one, but I don't think that'll be for many many years.
