This is certainly an eye opener! I can't believe that people can own 360's and PS3's and use them through a SDTV.

The games through the SDTV must look like the scaled up pixelated videos on Youtube when you are playing games.

You really need to upgrade to HDTV. It doesn't need to cost the earth. You can pick up 20"-32" LCD's pretty cheap these days. You really don't know what you are missing until you see it.

I currently play my PS3 through my 40" 1080p Sony Bravia.

LOL Your comment is so absurd it tickled me. Maybe some propoganda to increase HDTV adoption? Sony HDTV adoption to be more specific? I have had my 360 since launch on a standard tv and the picture quality is far from what you described.

 I honestly do not think an HDTV is worth the cost just yet, and I happen to be a tech enthusiast. LCD technology is continuously improving as costs are coming down. I think I will wait another six months or a year before purchasing an HDTV...maybe even two years. HD Tube TV(s) actually tend to have better picture quality, but there is a limited selection available on the market, because obviously flat-panel is preferred. 

 I also want to eventually purchase a PS3 (when price comes down), Xbox 360 Elite to replace my premium (Jasper), and Wii (when they become more accessible).

Sidenote: I have also experienced the RROD, but I never returned my counsel. It happened once (Oblviion overload). I simply unplugged my 360 for about an hour and then returned to gameplay. Everything ran smoothly and I have never had a problem since. Maybe some people just overreact when they see the RROD? Though I do agree, the problem should not have existed from the start.



I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.
