I bought my HDTV after my cable company told me HD was available in my building, after which a year-plus-long battle took place for me to finally get the service hooked up. In the meantime, I wound up caving and buying a 360 around February and it was one of the best things I've done.

In terms of impressing "normal" people, the gaming has gone way beyond the TV broadcasts. I have people over to watch TV and they're just like, "yeah, nice, HD" - pretty much everyone has seen HDTV before at one time or another. But I've had people walk by when I'm playing a 360 game, who have no interest in gaming at all, stop in their tracks to say, "holy shit, that's a GAME?!"

So, yeah, different strokes and all that, but I think in terms of straight-up impressing folks HD gaming is the way to go as it is the "newer" tech, but in terms of driving the market gaming is a smaller niche anyway. It just so happens that gamers also tend to be on the early adopter curve, so I have a feeling there is a higher percentage of gamers with HDTVs than the average household.

Just my uninformed BS at face value.
