ive seen many many people have widescreen tv's but they are NOT HDtv's by any means. that poll didnt say if the widescreens meant hd's or not so i think hd tvs are not that many in homes with wii. id say maybe 1 out of 20 people has an HDTV. but to play the wii i bet close to 90% use a normal tv for the wii.

 Somwhere I read in industry article on HD penetration into U.S. homes.  It said about 20ish percent of U.S. homes had at least 1HD set and expected it to surpass the 30% mark this holiday.  Interestinly, the article talked about an unknown variable in those numbers and that is how many people are buying LCD/Plasma screens for their size and ability to be place in more convenient locations rather than for the HD experience.  I'll try to find the article...

 well i just dont see many people being able to afford HDtv's but i have seen widescreens that hhas been around since the 80's. and i still think that HDTV's are just a replacement for those old widescreen tv's. as for they are not droping in price like analysts had said 3 years ago. i know i have NO intension on buying one till i can find an HDtv for under 250 and i know lots of people like me. we have what is called a family with kids.
