I've had only an SDTV all along. I've seen it with an HDTV and I'm fine where I'm at man. Don't listen to anyone that says, you HAVE to buy an HDTV in order to get the full experience.

I don't like going to my friends place with a 37'' HDTV then coming back to my house to play on my 20'' SDTV...it upsets me very much. If you don't have the money to spend, you're fine where you're at. If you have the extra cash to spend then id say go for it

I guess it's all about personal prefrence my friend.

I have an HDtv and I love it! everytime I go to a gaming partyĀ (Halo 2 or Gears)Ā where I have to play on an SDtv for about 6 to 12 hour my eyes have to work twice as hard because I can't tell if what I see is an enemy or a rock at 20 yards away lol!

I love HD, and it makes my experice well worth the money I spent!

But I looked this up for you. Check It Out!

You don't have to, but the games will look a lot better. I didn't have one when I first bought my 360. after a few months I got one and couldn't go back. Things will look a lot better. The first thing I noticed was how bright everything looked. The graphics will look a lot better because of the higher resolution. To me the best example is like going from tape to CD.

Yeah about that, what is the difference between a monitor and a HDTV, I heard that the colors are much better on HDTVs, hope I'm wrong...

Man dont splurge just yet on an Hd tv. Just get a hd vga cable for your computer monitor and play like that. If u have a newer flatscreen u can acheive up to about 720p hd wise. But with movies u only get about 420p but its ok cuz it still looks amazing. Also, if u want to get an hdtv, wait for a few more months becuz now that dlp is on the market its going to slowly take over the era of hd. So in a few months that 49" hdtv that u wanted so much will be affordable without getting a loan :]]
