Have had it for 5 years...still a great tv, cant justify buying a new tv yet. I use the RGB cable and its a big improvment over the standard composite cable.
I run my 360 on it too with RGB, all i need for now. :)
Not unless it acts as a media server from what im lead to believe, if you are able to connect the networked storage device via a USB connection to pretty much act as a USB drive you might be able to use the media on it.
If it is a media server like some of the new netgear and linksys ones are id definatly give it a try since software media servers (Tversity et al) can be seen by the 360.
Youve gotta think about it this way...is it likely the people getting the RRoD are having ventilation issues with thier 360. When you get it make sure it has PLENTY of ventilation, this doesnt mean just putting a fan infront of it because all that does is circulate the air, if it is already warm a fan wont help....you need to allow fresh air to get to the 360 so put it somehwhere with a decent cearance on all sides of the unit.
Secondly ive noticed alot of people i know who have the RRoD dont have a very big room to play it in, and also they have usually a pc and perhaps other heat producing things in there, if your ambient temeprature in your room is above normal then thats not going to be good for it.
Sure the new 360s coming out (and the elite) have the improved cooling system but it really shouldnt come to that if you be sensible about where you place it and how warm you keep your room!?

...and to add to that ive taken two 360s apart and replaced the thermal pads with gelatinous thermal compound (something like artic silver would do the trick) and in the lab we noticed the heatsinks were much hotter (hence they were doing a better job) so the luck of the draw might also be a factor if the heatsinks (and the cooling compound) werent installed particularly well.

It will be fine on SDTV, and ignore the "once uve played on htdv you will NEVER go back" crap.
My friends have a HD projector and we regularly play on halo3 etc... on it, yet im totally fine playing on my elite at home with my 28" sdtv. The gameplay is still the same just as people have said text can sometimes be a bit crummy, its not a big issue.
You mean like the people playing pro-evo soccer online always either choose barcelona or brazil?
Me and my friends always play as a totally different team like classic argentina or a lower league team, since it takes more skill and tactics rather than relying on the top players all the time.
