"Maybe you're right saying Hd is a good way to improve graphics until hardware gets MUCH faster."
Precisely. And even then I suppose people will get a kick out of the clarity of HD, but you're completely right; games could look better on standard tellies with enough power to process the image the way rendering a CG movie does. I imagine that's well into the future though, and prolly best off that way as right now they should probably still use the extra power for imaginative gameplay and just creating worlds that we love.
I really think this discussion contributed to people's understanding of HD gaming and what it actually brings in this era of games. Good on us. :)

Maybe i'm wrong, but i think younger videogame users who didnt spent their days on the first arcade cabinets and their C64 conversions, cant fully appreciate the magic of modern games visuals.
But i'm going off topic...
Anyway, thanks for the nice discussion :)

I can tell the difference between all 3 HD modes, and can definately tell you that 1080i looks a lot better than SDTV mode!! I can even tell the difference between 720p and 1080i, and now I've got the option even 720p mode looks blurry! lol
Obviously it's not, but on such a large screen, there's no option for me now but to run my 360 in the highest resolution. But BOY does it look good!!!
On the other hand, PDZ is a mixed bag. The story is not that bad, the final boss is great, but you have to switch between PDZ and Condemned to notice how this game is a current-gen game with higher res textures, good lighting effects (but far away from Condemned) and some incredibly old design like invisible barriers on the jungle level (so, dunno, 5-years old?), very bad pacing, you can get lost easily, only one save point per level, the beginning level is used twice very cheaply. Purchase only for online, but it's worth renting for single player imho.
However I would rent it just for the snow level, it has incredible graphics, but Kameo is so much better.
anyway, yeah kameo is a gem of a game! i used to love these kinds of games but having played them in soo long. after going through the demo countless times i've finally picked up the full game. nice game ;)
but i would add, i got a 36" phillips pixel plus SDTV (rgb only) and a 46" HDTV (compo and HDMI) and i can sit here and look at the diffrence and IF you cant see it THEN YOU ARE BLIND
and 1080i is no where near the quality of 720p, due to 1080i been 30 frames a second and there been no progressive scan on the 1080i and if you know the diffrence of progressive then i dont need to waste my time explaining it, and if you dont i dont need to waste my time explaining it because i got a coffee to drink
What the deuce?!
