I play on a SDTV. Even though I do have a HDTV, but my family is always using it to watch tv, so I can't play my 360 on it.

Not me, I have a 27' Philips Magnavox 1080i/720p/480p HDTV specifically for when I got my Xbox 360. I also purchased my HDTV during the summer before college, while I was still living with my parents. I couldn't imagine playing Xbox 360 on a SDTV. It would make me wanna take a shower after playing.

Just do wat I am doing and hook up your 360 to your PC monitor. I have mine hooked up with the VGA cables to my LCD flatscreen PC monitor and the games in it looke better than a SDTV but not as good as a HDTV but they still look jaw dropping and eye balling to me.

Well I got mine while I was working a minimum wage job. I suggest getting one, if you don't already have one. You'll have a HDTV in no time.

Use a 16:9 LCD monitor instead, even a 19" one would be much more better than a SDTV

I still play on a SDTV. I can afford a HDTV but the prices are still coming down and the quality is constantly improving so I'm not sure I want to buy one yet. There's no point in paying a lot of money for a TV that'll seem fairly rubbish in a years time. Then again I guess you have to jump in at some point.

I have been playing on a regular 27 inch RCA ever since the 360 came out, the the graphics still kick ass I don't think ill be getting an HDTV any time soon.  Besides HDTV's are expensive and the picture quality on a regular verses and HDTV isn't that dramatic, better but not mind blowing or anything.

I have a pretty rubbish TV - it only cost £100 from a supermarket. I really want an HD TV but they're so damn expensive. I do have a really nice computer moniter which I think is HD, but I've no idea how I'd hook it up...

If you're really strapped for cash get a widescreen LCD monitor. I bought my 27" HDTV for about $500 after taxes and everything and I really couldn't go back. The most dramatic thing is how much easier on your eyes the image is. All the blurryness, distortion, wavering, flickering, et cetera is completely gone.

Widescreen LCD monitors are pretty good for gaming with the 360 - they're not as good as HDTVs - the size is too small, the backlights aren't as good (you'll get a little bleed), but they are a huge leap from gaming on an SDTV. I think a mistake a lot of gamers make is that they put *size* before important image quality considerations. Remember - you don't want distortion, input lag, or interlacing if you're serious about being a competitive gamer.

The HD in our house is the one downstairs, which people are usually always watching TV on, and my gaming set-up is in my room so I dont really have ready (easy) access to a HDTV.

I don't have a HDTV, but I do have a 19" widescreen monitor (which can obviously do HD) so I play on that.

I go to college most of the week, i work on minimum wage when ever i get the chance and each week i wind up with about £60, so it will take a hell of a long time :P

I have a 26 inch SDTV and I really don't know how HDTV will make the graphics so much better.....

I think they look REALLY good on a SDTV but I'm getting a HDTV soon and maybe my eyes will bleed when I pop in Gears.........(in a good way)

Same here, My family has a new 56 inch HD but I am stuck playing on an old rear projection. It is big but the quality but it is like 15+ years old.

I'm in the middle. I play on my monitor. It may be small, but it gets the job done. Once I get a real job, which shouldn't be in the distant future, I'll get a nice HD set up.

I play mine on a 1989 14" "Schneider"(who went out of buisiness in 1991 i think) SDTV; I have to play gears in black % white, as my tv doesn't support 60hz.

Use a 16:9 LCD monitor instead, even a 19" one would be much more better than a SDTVGandors
ALL PC monitors are HD, You can get a 22" for under $300 or a 19" for under $180
