27" 1080i CRT with HDMI support - $359.99 USD. Less than the price of a premium 360, or equivalent to the price ofr 7 360 games. Compatible with everything from your Wii to you PS3 and DVD player. And that's after spending all of 35 seconds searching Best Buy.com--many online vendors will offer tremendous deals on better sets.
The hilarious thing is, come christmas, TVs like this will PLUMMET in price, and get rather dirt-cheap anyway (especially 'day after thanksgiving' sales and the like)
Honestly, if you're playing $59 games on a $300-400 console, the "I don't have the money!" excuse doesn't hold water, IMO. The truth is, you likely don't have the patience/willpower to save the money to enrich your gaming (and Movie viewing) experience beyond compare.
But hey, you say you don't have/want to spend the money? then invest $30 in a VGA cable and play on the computer monitor you are using right now. That's an acceptable stopgap measure that will still be leagues better than playing it on a crappy 15" SDTV, and will give you the HD experience at a low price.
Yeah, Capcom should've spotted the unreadable text issue before shipping, but honestly, this isn't the watergate-sized affair that some people are desperate to make it. I hear the game looks atrocious on those 13" black and white sets, too.
