No, I'm glad he made the switch, congrats. It was more of a crack at people who post on here and think it doesn't make a big difference.

In all fairness, in some games the jump just isn't that big. Truth be told, the biggest difference for me came when I first plugged the 360 into my HDTV and saw how crisp, large, clear, and vibrant the dashboard was. That and being able to understand the writing in Forza 2

Just because they likely can't afford one. Just like the people that rip on PS3 and Wii games just because they can't afford to go multiplatform. Guess it makes them feel more justified in their purchase or something ...

When I first got my 360, I hooked it up to my TV and downloading the Dead Rising demo. I couldn't read anything! So I went out and bought the VGA cable and now everything looks great on my 22". I just wish Microsoft would stop being lazy and add 1680x1050 or atleast give a good reason not to. If they did add 1680x1050, monitors would be even more superior to HDTVs in picture quality.

Lord_Tik

Yes, I recently bought a 46' 1080p Samsung as well, and yes, it's amazing the detail you can see. It's the little things that amaze me.

Like just the other night, I was playing Rainbow Six Vegas, and there's this mission where you fight in the middle of the street to get to a casino.

I just happened to look at the ground, and what was strewn all over the place? Little porn cards!!! Just like they hand out in Vegas. I lol'd for a good minute and thought to myself, yep, they really captured Vegas.

Congrats! I know I could never go back to an SDTV after playing on HDTV for a few years now. My only complaint is that the HDTV makes my older consoles look like poo now.

Seriously... better watch out. Jimmybones the forummaster is out to slay all jokesters! Your "46 footer" comment almost set him off too... better keep your lips zipped from now on. Especially people with double chins, even though I don't have one. Let's keep it nice people.

Shattersword,

Yeah, some of the manufacturers are saying that there isn't much difference between laser and plasma/lcd. I remember seeing plasma tvs available on ubid in 1996. But, it took almost a decade before supporting hardware was capable of optimizing the tv. We will have to see.

On subject, I have a 42" lcd hdtv. Yeah, I could see a huge difference in picture quality. Congrats on getting a hdtv.

I was one of those people for the longest time that thought HDTV didn't really matter up until I bought an HDTV. I will say this, I will never...EVER go back to an SDTV. HDTV is just so much better and brings out movies, games and televion (mostly sports) a lot more then SDTV's.

The 360 on an HDTV does indeed look very good. Even on my 19" monitor it looks awesome (obvioulsy it would, it is being displayed in 720p). However I am buying an HD Projector in the next couple of months and I cannot wait to see how the 360 will look on a 120" screen :) or maybe even 150"...:shock:
