High-Def needs a different acronym then HD, that's been taken by hard drive since the begining of time. So for now on, please add the TV to HD, so that it's HDTV. Bleh. <]=) __________________ I be a hearty pirate that plunders many waffles. The Dread Pirate Monkey Gizmo has scurvy! :) Nintendo DS and Wii, me gaming machines of choice.

Care to elaborate there, chief? Both of those things have nothing to do with HDTV support.

When I saw the title, I thought you were commenting on the hard drive option, and not the HDTV option. <]=) __________________ I be a hearty pirate that plunders many waffles.

But to defend myself, HD does stand for "Hard Drive," or Hard Disk. Maybe I'm new-school, or old-school, but it's how I've refered to it since the eighties. http://www.ibas.com/about/dictionary HDD actually stands for "Hard Disk Drive," so I'll use it scince it is more specific. But it also means "Headsdown Display," "Heavy Duty Diesel," well you get the picture. So nya nya nya. <]=) __________________ I be a hearty pirate that plunders many waffles.

They didn't have to worry about HDTV (Early plasma HDTV would burn images playin video games so buyer beware if they played video games on HDTV). The whole thread went to shxx talking about HDD but looks like 2008 maybe the year for X-box 3. __________________ Th-55 U, T/X, TG-50, Handspring Deluxe (3) and PSP user.
