This is silly. HDTVs are crazy cheap, you don't even need a 1080p. The only situation that this is understandable is if the one complaining is a kid, and he can't really go out and buy his own TV. In that case, he should complain to his parents, not to Bioware. Anyone over 18 that's complaining about this, for shame.

I have 1080p tv and I like mass effect but, this is one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen....

So if you can't afford an HDTV you can't play games? You have to spend 200$ for a console and then you can't play games if don't you pay another 400$ for HDTV just beacuse the developer doesen't make bigger text for SD (a 0 cost task for the developer). No wonder wii sports is the most sold game for this generation if these are the competitors.

The X360 and PS3 are designed for sure to be played on HD but it no one has ever said that they can't be used on standard definition, they are even sold with SD cables...so if you make a game that actually can't be played on SD that's a fraud.

Wow, way to jump to conclusions. Stop being ignorant. If you can't afford an HDTV, how can you afford games? You can buy an HDTV for less than the price of consoles + games these days. Most people would buy a nicer TV before they buy a newer game console. If you choose to get the console instead, your taking a risk that you will be left behind.

It's not 0 cost, it would probably cost them quite a bit to change it at this point. Maybe they chose from the start to not do anything about it. Maybe they didn't even think this would happen. Don't just assume one way or another.

HD consoles are designed with HDTVs in mind. Should a PC game developer make games that work on computers from 10+ years ago? That would be silly. Besides, the game still works on an SDTV right?

Lastly, calling that a fraud is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen here (do you even know what fraud is?). If you stick with older technology, it will become obsolete at some point. Not to mention, I'm surprised people's SDTVs haven't fallen apart yet.
