    Nope. I play on a 13 inch magnavox and it still looks good.</p>

    no you don't "need" one per say. But if you want to get the full use out of the system then yes you should get one. its made for hi-def gaming. but i knew a few people who don't have one and still have a 360. the graphics are definitely an upgrade but not in hi-def like they should be. IMO, the difference is like night and day. you'll see where that extra went when you game in hi-def</p>

    Do you want to be able to read the text in games? Most games have small text that requires an HDTV to render properly, otherwise you get hard to read or completely illegible text.</p>

    Yes. And you also need an internet connection even if you don't play online.

    Playing a 360 on an analog TV is like bringing Jessica Alba to a tropical island and having her wear ski gear the whole time.

    She's still hot, but why bother?

    One thing is for certain though, if you go HD, you can't go back!

    An HDTV isn't required by it's what most of people are switching to these days. BTW, in order to play in HD you might need component cables or HDMI depending on which is available.
