If you can I would seriously recommend saving up that little bit extra and go for the 37". I firstly brought a 26" Samsung and was neither happy with the T.V or size. That meant a couple months of saving for a 37" and I have to say I'm glad I saved up for those extra inches as they make all the difference. Hopefully you will be happy with your purchase regardless and will go on to enjoy gaming in HD, the way games are meant to be played :P

You can still do 1080p via component.Games that are upscaled to 1080p really dont look that much better but you can see the difference in native games.if you are going to get a 1080p television makes sure its atleast 40 inches,otherwise it will be hard to tell the difference.

Wise words indeed. I feel as if the whole 1080p fiasco simply makes the buyer feel at ease as it seems to improve visuals when, in theory, the human eye can hardly notice the difference. Its just the fact that knowing 1080p supposedly improves visuals puts you at ease in believing that you are seeing a difference. I bought a Toshiba Regza 37" 1080p HDTV as a) Toshiba are a very good brand and are very reliable and b) I just wanted to get a 1080p T.V so I no longer had to worry wether or not I was getting the best out of my games visually. You can still get a 32" 1080p HDTV for relatively cheap and even if you can't, 720p is a massive leap from standard definition. HD is the way forward regardless. I'd recommend a Toshiba, Sharp or Sony. Plasma TV's are better for fast moving games as they reduce motion blur however they do suffer from image burn and the longetivity of plasma tvs are alot shorter. So, for general gaming, I seriously recommend a LCD HDTV that is 32" or above. I hope this helped you.

Also i've seen someone with the gamertag Shooting Seamen (semen :P)

The camera "isn't that bad" but neither is it "that good". There are times when the camera simply falls behind or leaves you blinded and unable to see enemies around you which leaves you tapping out combos in hope that there connecting. Luckily this doesn't ruin the game and, in most situations, the camera works well enough and allows you to gaze in amazement at the numerous combos being performed on screen. Basically, Ninja Gaiden 2 is a top title regardless of what the camera takes away from it.

Yes, the game is difficult. Yes, this is made worse by a camera that fails to keep up with gameplay. Yes, the framerate is choppy but, despite all that, the level of entertainment offered, the constant hacking of limbs, the responsive control and, in my opinion, the best combat system ever, make Ninja Gaiden 2 the best action game on any console. There will be times when you will get stuck and think "arghhhhh i can't do this" but just keep perservering. No game offers this amount of satisfaction!
