goodbye to the good old days

I wish new video games would come out with an option for people who still have standard definition tvs, what do they want from me im already spending a fortune on the games themselves there is no way i can afford a high def tv. I just want to be able to read the text again rather than getting inches away from my tv and still being unable to read whats going ongoodbye to the good old days
Apart from the fact that HDTVs are really affordable these days (especially for people who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for videogames), you could also just buy a simple cable and play the games on your computer monitor if you have one. At least one of the two options should be available to the majority of gamers.goodbye to the good old days
i dont know what kind of parallel universe u are from but where im from High def tvs are far from affordable and my computer monitor may be high def but is still significantly smaller than my tv and thus would not help my problem, Im just saying that with all the work put into the games would it be so hard to add a feature with bigger writing
I definition TVs arn't expensive at all. It's time to leave the past and move on. Quit buying so many games and get a new tv. High definition is almost the new standard.
i got a 32'' for 300$ for my bedroom for xmas. i dont get it. what do you want it to be? $100?

HDTVs [i]are[/i] cheap here. It's more diffictult to find a standard TV these days. Pretty much all of the electronics shops only sell HD LCDs and Plasmas.As I said, if you can afford a Xbox 360 and games then you should really be able to buy a new TV as well. I think the only other option would be to cope with the situation until you can afford a new TV. Game developers, that I can promise you, will at this point not even consider implementing backwards compatability for a product which is on the brink of extinction. I mean look at it, Sony is starting to get into 3D gaming and Microsoft is readying Natal. Do you really think these companies are willing to waste resources for SDTV support?
it doesnt matter what it costs i shouldnt have to buy a new tv to play games and its not like i buy an excessive amount of games buy 4 new releases and thats over 200 bucks. Sorry that my parents wont get me a 30 inch tv for christmas like u i guess im not as lucky. But all i am saying is how hard would it be all i need is bigger writing. and dont tell me to get with the times id buy a 300 dollar tv if i didnt have to pay for my car and my rent

The only thing I am telling you is that what you want is not going to happen. I know some people can't afford TVs, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. Gaming companies obviously focus their attention on the people who are able and willing to spend money on things, though, and I think that's understandable as well.

how bout you dont buy some new releases and save up and buy a TV...very easily solved problem and your making out like the game companys have a vendetta against you. and if your battling to pay your car and rent, then honestly, how do you even afford gaming?
Well It's same as saying the ps3 and xbox360 cost money. It's never fair and not every one have money to buy the consoles but life goes on. I got my first computer when I was 20 so you should be happy to get what you get.

maybe you should stick with old xbox then as the new gen consoles are all about HD gaming thats why there new gen consoles. iv seen small 19 inch hd tvs for 89 pounds (UK) its by no means a a great tv but it does the job. i just bought a great one for 349 32 and i saved up for it for a few weeks thats all it takes a bit of saving so stop complaining please after all theres nothing you can do lol
Yes Yes u are all right (except chaos cougar ur just rude) i understand my problem will have to be lived with until i can find a good tv until then i will squint on. And just to clear the air here i dont spend all my money on video games especially not new releases it was just an example for my argument
Well lucky for you HDTVs have dropped very dramatically in price. 3 years ago I bought a 27'' LG LCD tv and it was roughly 750$ (only 720p too) now that same tv is somewhere around 350-400$ theres cheaper options the smaller the size your willing to go as well.

A quick lesson in life. If you can't put up some sort of cash every week into savings you need to re-evaluate your situation. What happens when your car breaks down? Or if you owned a home when the furnace or something goes out.
On the cable that hooks to TV their is a switch for High Def or Standard Def, if that isn't good enough then buy a Wii, Xbox, or PS2. Either way just quit your crying.

And plus, games are playable in SD...it's just HD takes priority and if you played any games in HD this generation you'd understand why.
