Is there a difference in using HD or no HD when playing a Xbox game?

Hell no. Don't listen to this guy... He gives bad TV advice (earlier thread, he told a user something similar). You should seriously get an HDTV and I'm willing to help you out. Just give me a price range and I'll give you the best option.

You mean me? Higher resolution is nothing more than more detail.

Which in turn means better graphics... You said there wasn't a difference between 720p and 1080i which is completely wrong...

What I ment with my first answer was the games are exactly the same they just look better with a lot greater detail. The gameplay and graphical effects are exactly the same in 480p, 720p 1080p.

Well, seeing as how the 360 is a high definition console... I would recommend you get one... Tell me your budget and I'll give you a recommendation.

No I didnt. I said on my TV there is no visible differance between 1080i and 720p. Not that I can see anyways.

No difference huh? maybe you should try playing LOTR II in 720 then change to HD see if you can notice 'no difference'. It's like saying there is no difference between a $10 bottle of goon and a Grange Hermitage, yeah they're both essentially rotten grape juice but I know which one I'd choose. I agree with once you go HD you never go back along with other things I'd never go back from ie. broadband, 19inch LCD, supercharged V6, and asian chicks.

It depends on the TV. If the manufacturer has the common sense to have good inputs, then there's no need to be worried about that...

You'll be fine without HD. If you want to get it, get it. HD you can literally see sweat from players in the sports games but without HD you really can't. That's my example. It's all up to you.

It is just more crispy. The amount of objects and special effects are all the same, just clearer. It is the same as watching SD Discovery channel VS HD Discover Channel. You get like 20-20 vision on HDTV, you can clearly see the sweat or pimplesof a basketball player.

Intheory,SD games will have more objects and special effects than HD since SD is not using as much graphics power, you can add more stuff to it. That is if developers willing to do that.

magicalclick

the games are made in hd so no it won't have more effects and making games in sd would piss a bunch of people off

He speaks the truth. I got an HDTV just two days ago; my games have never looked so good! Everything looks brighter and cleaner; lighting and textures also look considerably better than before. I'm not going back - ever!

Saying that the xbox360 will never have as good a graphics as the PC is a stretch. In fact I think they've already done that a few times, PC may out do some games with the new direct x draw. Even then you have to have a pretty amazing graphics card and overall computer. Besides, unless your computer has a dvi output good luck on playing computer games on a 60" 1080p television.

agreed which mainly means if you have a hd use it with your 360 , if you dont have hd dont buy it just for your xbox unless your using it for tv and movies but of course high definition looks better

What are you smoking? 720p-1080P is considered High Definition. Did you mean 480?

Exactly! If you ever played over a friends house or lan party where their pc are able to handle todays games like Oblivion or GTR 2 or FEAR at resolution up to 1920x1080 or 1280x1024 then you'd know the difference. If you get any HDTv under 40 inches then don't bother with 1080p since you won't see much of a difference.

If your computer is up to snuff or know someone who has one that is then ask them to play any recent game at 800x600 on the highest possible settings and then play the same exact game on the same mission/map on 1280x1024 or whatever is the highest resolution and make sure you keep AA off and you'll see what I mean. I could link pictures but you need to see it in motion to understand what I'm talking about.
