I started ME2 yesterday & then found that I need to be about 1 foot away from the TV to read the text in the game.  Subtitles are awful. They should be appearing in the black portion of the letter box, but appear in the game itself.  This game could end up being a chore. Any way to fix this or are we stuck with this on the Xbox?   Gonna make it tough to get an S-Rank.

Yup the text look awesomely clear at 1080p. But a blurred mess on a CRT screen.

Well, looks like you have to resort to pumping up the volume.

Isn't it like this with most games now anyway? They're made for HDTVs.

If that's the case, why does the PS3 not come with an HDMI cable?

Mine didn't come with one. I got it about 2 years ago.  
 
Haliniel, I didn't really mean that games now were made for HDTV, but that they are meant to be played on a HDTV for the better experience.

Because not everyone has a TV with HDMI inputs, but Sony can guarantee every consumer has the ability to play the PS3 with the standard cables given. It's a drop in quality, and it forces most people to pay the $10-$20 on an HDMI cable, but I understand Sony needed to guarantee anybody can hook it up. 
 
The other user is correct. It's unfortunate for kids and people not able to afford a new TV, but upgrades need to happen eventually. You can find HDTVs for as low as $500 these days -- and nice ones at that. If you have patience, wait until Black Friday for a great deal!

But a lot of people are in no hurry to upgrade.  Especially since a lot of programming still isn't broadcast in HD, and a lot of people don't really feel the need to buy a new TV as long as their current set works just fine.
