I have a standard definition TV and I just noticed it has the Green,Blue,Red Cable inputs in the back. I was just using the regular yellow,white,red cables up to this point.

My question is will the difference be that much bigger by going to the GBR cables? And why does a standard tv have these cables? I always thought they were for HD only.

Yes, standard TVs have them (component inputs), they give a sharper, more defined picture, and yes it will be a significantly better picture for games. Just so I'm understanding right, there are 3 video and 2 audio inputs that you're talking about here?

Yes, the difference is BIG, *BIG*, even in SD resolution. Go for it, now !

Then definitely buy some component cables, I think they're 19.99 for PS2 and Xbox (first party cables), and the GC ones are hard to find and only work with older Gamecubes.

EDIT: And yeah, definitely the 360 will look a shitload better.

Damn! I just loaded up the PGR3 demo and the game looks 100x better. I never knew it could look so good like this...and I was actually content about how it looked before.

for 50% or less the price of a 360 game the ROI will be great

I bought my SDTV in 2000 and it has component inputs. Definitely use them. Component cables should be 75 ohms. Red, white, and yellow patch cables aren't 75 ohms characteristic.


EDIT:

Oops, late to the party I see. Glad to see, you went with component.
