The HD/SD Situation


My friend has been a gamer his entire life, but in the last several years it has been hard to keep up with his hobby. He's been working until he has enough to pay for a semester of school, signing up for classes, and heading back to work when he needs money for the next semester. It's safe to say that this lifestyle doesn't exactly result in much of an expendable income, but awhile back he managed to buy an Xbox 360.

Still, getting himself an HDTV to play it on is kind of out of the question at this point, so he's left to play it on their old SD set. I never really thought much of this until I recently got a PS3. I have an HDTV that came as a bonus from the used car dealer when I bought a car back in November, but I never got around to setting it up. So I just popped the PS3 onto the SDTV where I do all of my gaming and set to work on The Saboteur. I quickly realized that the text was going to be an issue as I couldn't really make out most of the main menu, but it got even worse.
