if you're gettin a ps3 or an xbox360 elite...you should have an HDTV...looks like shit otherwise. i played mine on a normal TV, and then on my girl's parents HD when we were house sittin...then we broke up and i moved out...and i got a 50" plasma...there is no comparison.
if you're going to spend like $600 on a fuckin console, you should step it up and get the TV as well....my old shit didn't even have RCA cables so I would have had to get an adapter...I just got the plasma and said fuck it. But I had also saved up for it for like 4-5 months.
I Just don't see a point in playing those games or spending that kinda money on a console which is meant to provide extremely good graphics when you don't have a TV capable of showing you the full capacity of the console...
just my opinion...and yeah, i knwo not everyone has the $ to buy a plasma...it's just a suggestion
