Got a bunch of money in rebates from Best Buy from my tv the other day. So I\'m going to go get King Kong and Condemned too. And a second controller.

I\'m enjoying my new, overpriced, graphic upgrade to the original Xbox.

K, thx.

The games look a hell of a lot better in HD, I must say.

Since when was a widescreen hd tv $1000?

My buddies is a 30 inch widescreen Sony with built in tuner for 750

Still not cheap but the games hardly require it to look good. And thats the direction everything is going anyway, hd that is.

Post by: Paul2 on November 26, 2005, 08:00:19 PM: most HDTV nowadays are 720p and 1080i. And some HDTV with 1080p won\'t accept 1080p input because lack of copy protection and probably cost too. It will accept 1080i as its highest resolution and de-interlace it to 1080p.

So, if your analog TV is doing fine and the picture quality looks good, then waiting till next year where there are more 1080p TV coming out and hopefully by the end of next year or so, they will finally have 1080p copy protection figure out and support on newer set.

Why is 1080p important? Both Blu Ray and HD-DVD supports them and movies are encoded in 1080p/24 format.

Even PS3 support 1080p for games that use that resolution.

Definitely. I\'m seeing HDTVs that used to be 15 grand that are now closer to 2-3 grand.

I saw the first 1080p HDTV the other day and it made the plasmas next to it look quite sad. The picture is so crisp.
