I have a 37 inch 720p lcd tv. Gamecube games look great on it. My theory is that animated content doesn't need as much resolution as photo-realistic content, like television.

Really large HD tvs might be a different story.
Hey :)

Was just wondering, is this with 480p games hooked up via component, or 480i over RCA??

FFC includes Chrono Trigger on the disc... hence my reason for recommending it.

Wha? Since when? I bought it when it came out, and we did have a lot of fun playing it (actually had 4 people with GBAs to do it with), but was not aware CT was on the disc.

Its a Gamecube in what sense? The Wii brings a lot of new things to the table, and its not like their asking you a whole lot for it. The Wii adds online capabilities, a whole new control mechanism, and the ability to use larger capacity DVDs. Also, what about iPods, arent those essentially all the same, but they still come out with a new one every year, and so many people continue to buy every revision? Anyway, I think the Wii is awesome, and ill probably end up buying one sometime in the future.

Was it "Me Myself and Irene" that he had to shoot the cow like 12 times and it wouldn't die?

The Wii was a hell of a lot more fun than the PS3.

I seriously doubt Randay has touched either one.

Exactly, I don't give a crap about the graphics, I want to stab someone! I mean, this could cost $400 and i'd still buy 1. I WANT ZELDA!!!!!

Don't forget the virtual console. Playing all those old classics is a big draw to many.

That's not like... legal. ;)

Although I can't deny that I've played ROMs before. But if they're going to be available for purchase, I'd rather be legit.

to say "absurdly priced proprietary sony technology" is highly redundant ;)

qft...just say "Sony" ;)
