HDTV's are are too shitty for the price they charge, they provide very little increase in the quality of the TV/movies/games that are played on it. A nice SDTV is better then 90% of the HDTV's that you can buy. And yes i have seen them played using HDMI.

The numbers listed are just pulled out of their ass, under 20% of Gamers have an HDTV. Go ahead and ask players when you are online in a game, the same goes for Surround sound.

I've heard you say some ridiculous things in the past but this takes the cake. If you see very little difference between a properly done HD setup and an SD setup, you should seriously consider an eye exam.

It's not as ridiculous as it may seem, Rocket. It isn't that it's literally impercievable, it's that some people just don't care. My mom can't tell the difference between an N64 and a PS3 game. My Dad can, but doesn't really care. 

You know how some people think all Classical or Rap music sounds the same? It depends on your personal preferences, and is really just a result of not knowing or caring much about the field. We happen to be involved in a particularly visually/computer intensive hobby, so visual/computer enhancements seem like a particularly big deal to us. For the Classical music fans? They can't tell the difference.
