Forums - General - Will Digital TV change the face of television?

As you might of known, Television will be going digital on February 17, 2009. Its supposedly gonna be the biggest moment in television since color. What do you think digital will bring to television and how will it shape television. Also if it makes an impact, will these give companies like sony, microsoft, and nintendo to shift to digital gaming for the next generation? I know that might sound weird but think about it. What do you guys think?

I think he's referring to digital services like digital cable or satellite, which the US already has extensively. This is a digital switch for every single TV though, no more analog over the air.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

is it possible to hae digital gaming or did that already happen?
