..When ppl talk about HD gaming or HD in general they always talk about the PS3 and the 360 but never the PC? Why is that..I think PC needs to play catch up and keep up with the big boys the 360 and PS3. Is there any way to connect your PC to an HDTV?

Yes you can connect it to an HDTV, and of course it's the first HD gaming system. But it's not a console.

We had higher resolutions in arcades and computers almost a generation in advance of consoles since... pretty much always.

If you're asking why is it not mentioned in the status quo of HD gaming, well we always made distinctions between PC gaming and console gaming, as well as arcade gaming. So that's probably why.

What? I'm so confused now.

Anyway, to contribute to this thread even a little bit, there are ways to connect a PC to an HDTV. Some graphics cards have HDMI.

Maybe; I'm sure everyone on here has seen crazier things being posted at LEAST once.

And actually, VGA card manufacturers use the "HD gaming" marketing angle to sell their hardware as well. The reality is, without discrete video, 3D gaming on PC is a bit of a bust with modern games at just about any resolution.
