Actually I was wondering the same thing. I played the Xbox 360 on a normal TV and we could barely see the text (from afar anyway) on the screen. It was very small, but that was just with Gears of War. We didn't have that problem with Marvel Ultimate Alliance or anything...is it only with a select few games? I don't want that to be the case with my TV!Ā

I wouldn't think so...unless you were using the wrong type of cables or a 14" tv.

I thought it said you "pooped" in your head. I think I need to get glasses or something.

But yeah, Dead Rising is the only game where it'd be an issue. I played 360 for a year on an SDTV and that's the only game that was difficult to read. The rest were all fine.Ā

Well I usually don't have any problems on my TV, which is about 24 inches (LCD). But it was my sister's TV, and I think her's is about the same size as mine...but I couldn't be sure.

Some sports games on a Standard TV have some hard to read text. The score overlay in NBA Live is sometimes hard to read.

You should be fine. Doesn't hurt to try it. If it sucks, you'll find out.

You mean your TV is preventing you from buying a 360 all together? Well, if you're going to buy a 360, you're going to buy one. It will still look great on a Standard TV. Eventually, think about getting a better TV. An HDTV. When I first got my 360 at launch, I didn't have an HDTV. Eventually, I bought one. Having the 360 already, made getting my HDTV that much sweeter.

Not all games have hard to read text.Ā  I do know that Lost Planet and Dead Rising are two (funny they are both Capcom games.)Ā  I have an HDTV so I really don't have that problem.

480p? That doesn't qualify as HD does it?

You are correct sir.Ā  HD isn't considered until you start talking about 720p.
