Well thats the thing I have never played games on a HDTV

Yeah. Before you do it's like "Meh, normal TV is fine". Then when you play on HD it's such a magnificent difference that it's hard to go back.

I can't imagine what the deal actually is. My TV picture is perfect, I cannot see what there is to improve.

the quality in the picture on the screen makes a difference when playing games. save your money up for an HDTV and you will see a difference

Nah, not in any near future, don't have 2000$ to waste on marginally better picture quality.

HDTV's are relatively cheap now. Can get perfectly good ones for 500 bucks.

The difference is in resolution. Makes everything look crisper and sharper.

exactly you can get a decent one now for less than a 1000 bucks and even supports 1080 P

$500 is still far more than I'd be willing to spend on something I'd only use for video games, personally...

not just for video games for other things as well like if you get a blue ray disc player or if you have a cable box or receiver to watch the HD channels your tv needs to be HD for it to support it

Some people just don't watch TV. I use my TV for games, and that's it. I don't really watch TV shows, and DVDs go on my comp. While an HDTV would be nice, "nice" ain't worth $500+.

If you can pour the cash, and want to, be my guest. Just saying that for some people, it's not that important.

not worth getting an HDTV for 500 bucks ? your living in a dream world if your planning on getting one under that price. actually i think its more ridiculous paying 500 or more for a game system. that i disagree with.

I don't watch TV and I prefer using my computer to watch movies.

So yeah, all it'd be used for is playing video games. And even with that, I've come to prefer my DS over consoles. And I wouldn't pay $500 for a TV. I wouldn't pay $300 for a TV. Hell, I won't even pay $300 for a game console.

Err, what? I read up on lots of reviews so I can tell what I think is going to be good and what isn't. I don't have a lot of money to spend on games and I don't want to waste it on trash. Same with everyone else. And just because I don't own a system doesn't mean I haven't played any games on it, anyway. Stupid assumption on your part, there.

People very rarely ask about PS3 games, anyway.

I've been holding out on a 360 for two reasons - price and games. There's been no games on it until recently that I had any interest in and $400 is more than I'm willing to pay. But now? I could get a used 360 and harddrive for about $220. Much more in my price range. And it might actually get used instead of collecting dust.

then get a wii instead theres more girly early kid games on there than the 360 and ps3.

First of all, the Wii doesn't have a ton of kiddie games on it. Appealing to everyone != kiddie.

Second...girly? You can **** right off now, I think 😊

Sorry if I prefer games to be more than "ooh, alien. Shoot it. You shot it! Have a cookie". I think it's completely pathetic when people think 20 hours is long for a game. And I think it's ridiculous how stagnant games are right now, with the market being flooded with sub-par shooter after sub-par shooter and the same old sports games made a tiny bit shinier. Right now there's three games for the 360 that I want to play with another coming out very soon. That's not enough for me to justify that purchase yet.

Dude, just because a game has an E rating doesn't mean it's a "girly, early kid game".

Eh. I prefer shoot-em ups to RPG's, personally. I remembered why I stopped playing those things when I popped in my Lotr- Third Age game and completely curbstomped the computer for two hours 😘 I used the same attacks over and over again..
