The Wang Out - "Gary Was Here" Edition: lol ash is a loser

[Drageuth]

I should go to bed while I'm still in the habit of going to bed at a semi-decent hour. I'ma gonna kick this sleep madness square in the balls!

Also, my 720p is pretty sweet. Between my bad eyesight, standard def digital cable in-feed and shitty DVD player, I wouldn't be getting anything better out of a 1080p at the moment anyways.

..................that is if you're actually going to sleep

I just don't wanna kick myself later for getting a 720 over a 1080.

I wouldn't worry to much about 720 v's 1080p if all the sources you use are going to be 720p or less anyway dude.

I have the Sony Bravia 32" 1080p lcd for my home theatre and Blu-ray player (with upscaling), but I still use an old Sony Trinitron 80cm crt for my old consoles.

It's really about what you want and how much you wanna spend......you should be able to do some comparisons in stores.

It's gonna be for the 360, maybe my ps2 once in awhile. I have basic cable so don't give a shit there. I just want the best really for my xbox. Oh and Drags laptop in a couple of weeks

Well, like I've said a few times > I'll be getting an x360 soon.
But afaik x360 games are only 720p aren't they???? or am I wrong?

So if you don't have a Blu-ray player (and don't plan on getting one), and don't have a home theatre with upscaling (to 1080p) then there may not be any point in 1080p.

Note: many Blu-ray players have upscaling to hdmi output built in to improve standard DVD quality.

Thank God the sun is finally going down.

I think it depends on the game. I know a lot say 1080p but they're not native (there are some native 1080p). So I dunno. I have no blueray or amazing movie watching set up or anything. Even though it's all xmas money doesn't mean it's inexhaustible so I think I might go with the 720p, it'll still look better than the no name brand piece of shit crt that I have! You've all convinced me. Of course when the check shows up and it's something crazy like 2 grand then I won't care and get a huge 1080

Keep the crt for any old consoles you may have dude, especially if it's 4:3.
I use my ps2, xbox, psx consoles on the Trinitron I mentioned (in my games room)....only the xbox has component video, the rest are composite.

But the x360 (when I get it) will be running in my home theatre room.

I really only have room for one tv, I'll try it out with the ps2 and if it's really that bad I'll have to try and make room. I haven't touched my ps2 since I got the box so it's probably a moot point anyways.

You could hang the lcd off the wall using a bracket, the old tv could just sit on the floor underneath it.

Or just go ghetto style and find an appropriate place for the crt.....like your dining table

I don't want to screw with wall mounts. Just the type of place I live in.

I'll find a spot!!!

I can't believe I didn't mention my Gamecube or Wii consoles earlier.
Is this subconscious Nintendo hatred?

Well, I'm off to watch a movie.
