I talk to people almost EVERY DAY who don't have a clue what HD is! And the cable companies don't make it any better, they bring you an HD capable set-top box and then plug it into your 40+" TV with a composite video cable! And if you know much of ANYTHING about HD, go to a Circuit City or Best Buy or Walmart or Target or wherever, the amount of misinformation and just downright WRONG information the floor staff in these stores put out is just amazing!

Whoever said its not is an idiot. You must be one of the morons who has your HDTV hooked up to standard def signal and cant see what all the hype is about. Nothing is better then football on a HDTV. I have 2 HDTV's and the 360 is hooked up to the 50" 1080P. Looks amazing. Most people wont know what the HDMI port is because most people have a white 360, which DOES NOT HAVE HDMI, its the 360 Elite that has a HDMI port. Soon I'll add on the X-Box HD DVD Player for HiDef movies! Im very aware of the 360's HD, this article is crap. First, HDTV is simply amazing. Whoever said its not is an idiot.

But I am surprised with the PS3 results. Who on earth would invest in a $500 piece of hardware without at least looking into what its main capabilities are? Datz Crazy!

If you don't think there is a difference I assume you would be one of the people holding onto your 27" Zenith from the early 90's. How is it a novelty?

I have had my HPTV and 360 for almost 2 years and I rent HD movies through the marketplace. I think it might be the younger kids that are not aware of the HD capabilites, anyone in their 20's or 30's I think would be fully aware of the difference. But i could be wrong. I disagree.

I have to question who did the poll and what kind of questions were asked. I can see 10-20% but not a vast majority. 50% not knowing the PS3 has a Blu-Ray? No freakin way. I simpy don’t believe this.
