[Console gamers] Are you playing in HD or SD?

For like 4 years now.

Whoa whoa whoa, look at this guy.

SD. :(

So much small text.

Always in the highest definition possible. When I bought my first gaming pc back in 2003, I knew I had to have an equivilent in quality tv for my gaming. There were a few xbox games that supported true 720p, like the hulk and true crime streets of la. Even though it wasn't native, gran turismo 4 had 1080i support. Playing max payne or grand theft auto 3 on the pc was leagues and BOUNDS better than they were on the ps2. Like an entire new game, visually.

Funny thing is, just about every game released today *ESPECIALLY multiplatform ps3 games*, isn't even in 720p. I'd say as long as their 1024x768 or higher, I won't complain.

One of the consoles, Upscaled Fake Pathetic Excuse 1080p. The Other, True 1080p. Now I just need a Wii, again..

And PC is also in glorious HD, of course. So yeah I do game in HD.

Depends on the game. Some actually look better in SD.

HD since one and a half years ago. 

HD, of course. It's almost 2012 and my sets have been HD since 1999.

HD since about two years. Couldn't go back now.

"I don't know" is the best option.

I've owned an HD television since 2004 (1080i), and got a 1080p set since 2009.

SD. Hoping to pick up my first HDTV by the end of this week though.

Where's the both option :?

If you sometimes play in HD pick that.

Not many people are playing in SD but it's a still a bit more than I was expecting.

I was playing in SD - specifically 520 or something weird like that for the first 3 years I owned an xbox. It wasn't until this April that I ponied up and bought an HD monitor.

I am still using an SD TV. It works fine for my gaming needs, so I have not made the decision to bump up to HD.

I play on both. Half the time I'll jump onto my Xbox 360, PS3, or some of the newer games on PC, but I'm a nostalgic player all the way through. I always find myself jumping onto a PS2 game or even playing a couple of Dreamcast games. Hell, just yesterday I was playing Legend of Legaia on PS1.

The joke, of course, being that a lot of games aren't actually as "HD" as you think they are.

This doesn't actually matter to me. The games still look fantastic even if they aren't in true HD. Look at Red Dead Redemption on the PS3 or Halo 3. Neither of those were in real HD and would anyone have known the difference?

1 person chose 'I don't know'

This is why I love Giant Bomb and it's community (for the most part; trolls are EVERYWHERE!)

I am pretty sure HD.
