I bought a 720p magnavox last year. Just the overall image picture of my old TV even on SD stuff amazed me. My PS2, and GC were beautiful. No Jaggies or any of those nasty effects I hate. Then I got my Wii... And was sad. Then I found a PS3... And was sad. My 26inch HDTV didnt do it justice. So I bought a 40inch 1080p Screen... And then I was happy... And then I put my Wii on it... and then I was sad. Holy crap. I'm sorry. But GC games as a whole look better than Wii games. (to me at least) PS2 games look fine on my Screen. GC games dont look that bad. And Wii games just are horrid. I blame the games... not the console, as GC games look beautiful with it. I know of at least 4 people that will buy HDTV this year. In all honesty... I only really keep track of about 5 or 6... so... That makes my parrents 2nd HDTV. My brothers First HDTV. My Grandpa's First HDTV... (they all have PS3s for assorted/diffrent reasons) And then I have a friend who plays his 360 on his computer monitor. But when he gets his PS3 in a few months. He plans on buying a decent sized HDTV as well. My father-in-law is also looking at them, but I cant guarantee that. 2007 is the year of HD. I was hopeing for some fun stuff from the Wii. But Nintendo sales are dying down. Sonys sales are still trucking along. And the 360 is just... there... putting along all smug-like. However if you saw a 20-21" for 269... are you sure it wasnt EDTV? http://hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?SID=230BC2E829AE434C917EBA1FD52B7865&ProductID=17293 Cheapest HDTV at HHGregg. Also. ranzchic - you wouldnt mind paying 250-300$ in 3 years to buy a WiiHD? Serious question? If Nintendo pulls a microsoft like that. I will NOT buy another nintendo product. (the main reason I dont have a 360 yet. I'm gonna find me a nice cheap used one once they drop in price this summer) Where does Blu-Ray Stand vs DVD? Well there's 23DVD discs... ahead of the hottest BluRay disc. That dosent say a whole lot. But BluRay market saturation is at under 3million worldwide. HD-DVD is at around 400,000. Yet BluRay manages to make #24 on top 100DVDs @ amazon.com Who the hell knows how many DVD players exist. If I count my PS2, and X-Box, and PS3... And computers DVD drives... 9 or 10 myself. HDTV is almost there. I expecet it to become the 'norm' sometime in 2008. I've been HD for a year. I cringe everytime I play a PS2 game after playing some PS3 game. Flat... Blah... Colors... Meh... Detail? Where? I play mostly PS2 games... infact. I've bought more PS2 games than Wii games since Wii/PS3 launch. (more PS2 games than PS3 as well) I dont play games because they look great. I play games because they play great. (looking great is just a nice bonus) Games like Zelda the lack of HD didnt bother me. Games like Red Steel... made me sick. Games like Marvel Ultimate Alliance.... made me sick... the characters are so small... you cant tell who's who. (ok you can, but it's 4x easier on the PS3 version even though it dont really look better) I want to rent FarCry... I'm a sick puppy... I just wanna see how BAD games get. As I dont think I've seen many games rated lower than FarCry. That and I want to honestly compare it to Sonic PS3... (rent that as well) And see if FarCry deserves it's much higher score... or not. Now that Wiis are starting to sit on shelves. (PS3's have been 'starting' to sit on shelves now for over a month... and their not 'always' in stock) Let's see how the Wii does in Febuary. If by some grace of god... the PS3 comes closer to the Wii in febuary than in January (month sales). I dub this war as over. As the 360 Will be a decent contender. But I dont expect much. As the new rebuild for the 360... That would hurt my feelings if I bought one last year... infact I would be mader than crap. Since Sony decided to launch a killer console... microsoft decides to 'upgrade' their new units... so if you have a old unit... HAHAHA... YOUR SCRWED... COME BUY A NEW ONE! Wich I expect will probibally inflate their sales quite a bit... however it's just selling anothe 360 to a 360 owner. Total consoles sold... makes it look better... But I would feel SOOOO ripped if I bought a 360 last year. "Sorry. Your console we sold you last year sucked... so... Go buy a new 400$ console. Thanks!" Microsoft will upgrade it yearly with new features. Makeing you want to buy a new one each year... for 400$. I'll stick with sony thank you. The Difference between a PS2 and a PS2slim... is well...
