X-box question???

Will the X-box play on a normal TV or need a PC monitor, or both????

If it only plays on a normal TV then will this mean that great HighResGames from the PC wont look as great when converted?

Maybe youll be able to connect it to a TV later for higher res games. I was just thinking that if the X-box is TV only alot of PC lovers wont by it!

Wouldnt it be odd if you HAD to buy a monitor to use the X-Box?....

Sony, Nintnedo, Sega... even the Indreama people would be laughing until they died :)

(maybe thats the plan MS have to kill off the competition... by applying a 60's Batman style death on them?!?!?!

Not sure, but resolution isn't everything!

There's an article on Daily Radar about Giants on the PS2... the resolution is lower due to the TV output, but the characters have significantly more poly's, apparently making it look much better than the PC version.

So I wouldn't be too worried about Xbox games on teh TV.
