The De-Evolution of the Generation Begins

I have an HD TV - I didn't even notice that Halo 3 wasn't in full HD. As long as the game is good I'll get it.

How is Halo 3 not in HD? How does that happen, it looks so sharp and detailed? I just can't wrap my head around it..

We have a 480p TV at home...it's gorgeous, but not true Hi-Def. In my dorm I have two old-fashioned picture tubes. My laptop can crank out 1920x1200 which is technically Hi-Def but I never use it. Hi-Def TVs have really come down in price though, so I'm sure the next gen of gaming will embrace the Hi-Def. The reason this gen is axing Hi-Def is exactly what gekko said: costs. With Microsoft and Sony taking profit hits on each sold console, why penalize the developers too?

Turn down the resolution a bit, crank up the AA/AF is my guess? Playing an N64 game on my 32" (LCD) TV at a resolution of 1280x720 (Full screen) is much more pleasing on the eyes with AA and AF turned up to the maximum the emulator allows. If I hooked a 64 directly to the TV, it'd be another story....
