My TV that I bought several years ago is a Sony 32" HighDef Flat Tube television. Its able to do 720p and 1080i. Granted you cant get the super heavy tanks anymore, but it was on clearance. So now Iam keeping on eye an eye out for the 1080p goodness. My cousin has a WestingHouse 1080p TV and he said it tends to not like the 720p games. And one other thing which is better LCD or Plasma? All I want is the highest resolution and contrast. Alot of the LCDs are under 1000:1 contrast (junk). I know there is a million to one contrast coming(average 10,000:1). Some people tell me the contrast dosent matter. They forget Iam an artest and I do notice a difference. Anyways didnt mean to ramble on...happy gaming!

I had my old TV die on me last summer and replaced it with a 30" Sony Wega. Its 'HD ready' so no built in tuner :( Doest matter now since I have Comcast, at least I has a HDMI though. Since the FCC laws switched in July all TVs over 26" must have tuners built in my TV isn't on the market anymore and the 35" with built in tuners are about the same price I paid. On the other hand the longer you wait on a PS3 the more games will be out for it. I still need to upgrade my av receiver to one that can handle PCM to take advantage of BD movies better. Bottom line. Upgrades suck. The moment you buy something a better version will come around cheaper. I dont regret my TV but that's just the way it goes. Yeah I feel for you.

The successor of my TV is now cheaper than mine in late october :( But then again, I would have had no tv at all at that time (my old one died of old age). I am still not dissappointed in my tv, it is pretty good! Jup,

Without a HDTV you will still get an upgrade in picture quality but just not as big as it could be. Save for a HDTV on your birthday. One thing is for sure is HDTVs will always get cheaper the longer you wait. Not sure about HDTV prices in the EU though but here we have 21 months to switch over from analog TVs so everyone is buying them now. HDTVs are outselling SDTVs so prices are coming down. TVpredictions.com is reporting an estimated 30% price drop on LCDs by this fall. SO if you plan on getting an HDTV that's the one you should wait on. You could just get the PS3 tomorrow.

I for one am using a 32" sdtv, but it has component inputs :) The PS3 still looks great on an SDTV. I for one am using a 32″ sdtv, but it has component inputs :)
