Hi-def gaming - the pros and cons

There's an interesting article over at Eurogamer that might be of interest to those eyeing up the prospect of higher graphical quality next-gen gaming.

While you have to applaud Microsoft for trying to push on with forward-looking, boundary-breaking ideas that some of its rivals balk at, it's better to live in the realms of reality and note that the HD era has been with us for some time. This is not a new thing, and it will take far longer than people think to become part of the mainstream. For us Europeans, it's even less likely to take ahold with current HD broadcasting trials not even getting underway until next year, so don't go throwing away your crusty old CRT set just yet. You may not see the benefits for some time to come, and you'll save yourself a vast outlay in the process...
Don't believe the hype! Well, take HD with a pinch or 2 of salt maybe.
