How important is High-Definition to you?

Of course, I, like many, would probably prefer an HD-exclusive world, but in some cases it is not feasible. Download caps, extra costs involved....for example - I love Blu Ray, but, given the option, I can settle for a regular ol' standard def DVD if there were benefits to using the DVD as opposed to the Blu Ray (ie. cheaper price). That being said, I have an HDTV and my computer monitor is 2560 x 1440, and I love them.
I, cunningly, have never seen anything in HD (or Blu Ray, or anything), ever.
This is fantastic. It means I don't realize about the lost quality, and I can't see it. This means I have no interest in it, and am not bothered when watching something on a standard tv, at standard definition. Hooray! This has saved me many moneys.

I absolutely require it for watching the Patriots game(Football). However, I don't care a lot for movies and such. I actually find the high definition distracting sometimes. I have a very high resolution on my monitor though for games and such.
not at all. i watch movies on a 17"screen. i play games with lowst graphic settings. the story, gameplay and good fun is whats most important for me.
Im not saying HD is bad, but putting HD over other things is very bad (yes im talking to you EA).
On the other hand, deadspace on low resolution looked awful.

Just so I don't repeat every other post before me, I think crotchdot sums it up rather nicely.crotchdot said:
Like most things in life: Great but not strictly necessary. The definition of "necessary" however is a whole other topic for a whole other thread.
I really only started to get good at video games when I got an HD. Playing COD4 on an SDTV was just kind of a muddy mess, and it was hard to hit frickin' anything with iron sights because my targets were indistinct blobs that had a horrible tendency to blend with the sights. When I got an HD, I went from spamming in a general direction to aiming at specific location, and I got way better. I didn't expect that part to improve when I got it; hell, all I wanted was to be able to see what I was doing in both Mass Effects. I used to be forced to go with soldier on my first playthrough of either game because I couldn't see what the symbols were in the goddamn radial menu!
Very important, considering how bad regular definition games look on my HDTV.
I've had to set up my old TV again just so I could play my PS2 games.

This is how important it is to me;
LoL
HD doesn't mean a damn thing, beyond visual clarity. I guess it's just because my imagination is a little broader than "ZOMG PRETTY COLORS ON SCREEN!"
If i can see what I'm watching/playing, that's good enough for me, sadly it looks as though everything is being forced into HD..
