I know there seems to be some sort of resolution incompatibility with my TV. This is, of course, entirely possibly my TV's problem, as its an older HDTV (2006) which doesn't have an ATSC tuner or an HDMI port, so i'm using Component and it seems like at any HD resolution i put the console in that it's too big for my screen (the edges of everything are cut off)
Fortunately i have two other HDTVs sitting around, one that i took to college and another that i took to Japan, so i'll have to see if i can't get it to work better with one of the other sets.
