    I know Dead Rising had a lot of problems because of small text on standard televisions. I was thinking about playing this on my bedroom 360 but it only has a standard definition tv. Will the text be unreadable and will I be missing out on much graphical fidelity?

    I played it in 2006 when I didn't have an HDTV, worked fine, I think! I mean, it must have been okay if I put like 200 hours into it.

    Awesome. Really afraid to play a lot of games in my bedroom as opposed to the living room. It's way more comfortable but I'm sad I'm losing visuals.

    @Barrock: The on-screen text and HUDs in Oblivion are nice and big, so you shouldn't have any problems playing on a standard definition screen. I spent a month playing Oblivion earlier this year on a 14-inch SDTV and I don't ever remember struggling to see anything.

    Didn't have any problems on my old CRT tv back in the day. Well, the only problem I had was I found myself staying up too late. That Dark Brotherhood quest line ...

    It looked bad on my old SDTV, but it was a pretty cheap T.V.
