LadyCrimson Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I wonder what it would look like on our 50" TV? “Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.” – Alan Watts
Azure79 Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Hmm... I thought about getting a 360 but deferred for a number of reasons. I don't have a HDTV. I don't think the console would be worthwhile without one. I have a suspicion that every game I really want to play will eventually come out on PC, my preferred gaming platform. Besides, there are no games I truly want to play on 360 yet. I am patient enough to wait for price drops and more games to be developed. I am certain I will purchase a Wii though. I want to play all the games that I missed on Gamecube including the Mario, Zelda and Metroid games, Eternal Darkness, Metal Gear Twin Snakes, Ikaruga and more. For PS3, there are no games that I really want to play except for Metal Gear Solid 4. But the game itself won't make me drop 600+ for a PS3. Maybe later when prices are down and there are games that really tap in the PS3's purported power. Besides there are more than enough games coming out and are out for the PC to satisfy me, but thats for the 'What games are you looking forward to thread'
Volourn Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 "don't have a HDTV. I don't think the console would be worthwhile without one." Weird. I don't have a HDTV. In fact, I have a simple 19 incher. It looks, and plays greta on it. *shrug* DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Kor Qel Droma Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 Obviously you haven't tried playing Dead Rising yet. The type will be so small on your tv you'll barely know its there! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Llyranor Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 That's just Capcom playing dumb. People complained about it for Lost Planet and they fixed it for people with SDTV's. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Hurlshort Posted March 2, 2007 Posted March 2, 2007 I do recommend getting an HDTV to everybody, even if it's a lower end model. They are pretty reasonably priced at this point, and the movie and gamin experience is a big step up.
Sand Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Well, the next monitor I get is going to be HD ready widescreen monitor then I will get a HDTV tuner card for my computer.

Shadowstrider Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I picked up a 26" wide, 1080p for about $700 a few months back. It does have PC input, but I don't use it for that, I use my 21" wide monitor for that. I definitely love my HDTV. Rome in HD is pretty damn amazing, my only complaint is that I wish I had gotten a bigger T.V.
Sand Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 I guess I wouldn't use it for watching television. I just don't watch TV any more.

Sand Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Especially when the market for direct download for shows are opening up. Why try to time the show you want to watch when with a click of a button you can download it and watch it any time you want?

Diamond Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Especially when the market for direct download for shows are opening up. Why try to time the show you want to watch when with a click of a button you can download it and watch it any time you want? Do not forget that HD content will take faaaaaaaaaar more space than normal movie downloads, hence TV (for the time being) has an edge over direct download and streaming. Also, licensing and DRM issues complicate the process even more.
Volourn Posted March 3, 2007 Author Posted March 3, 2007 Because, it's cooler to sit on a comfy chair or lay on the couch/bed. R00fles! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Shadowstrider Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Also, because it's cool to watch stuff when it premieres and talk about it the next day. Watching Heroes or Rome with my friends is a weekly ritual. Discussing them at work the day after is also a ritual. No one wants to to talk about it days later, whenever it is released for DL.
Llyranor Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Hey, Shadowstrider, wanna talk about Jade Empire 2 yrs after it came out? *wink wink* (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Why try to time the show you want to watch when with a click of a button you can download it and watch it any time you want? I find my cable co.'s hard drive recording capability more than adequate to get around that. No extra charge for it beyond the cable fees, of course. Although recording hi-def does hog up the HD space a lot more and I usually delete those at the end of the week. “Things are as they are.

Dark_Raven Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Yeah, TV is for chimps. Tv has its uses like watching watching football, the History Channel and playing your games from the pc, using the tv as a large monitor. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Shadowstrider Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Hey, Shadowstrider, wanna talk about Jade Empire 2 yrs after it came out? *wink wink* No. Let's talk about Planescape: Torment for the 10,000th time, or let's have discussion #115,000 where we discuss Hades' supernatual ability to be stubborn and illogical.
