  Speak for yourself, I used to play my Xbox 360 on a bad boy like this one

    The adapters probably cost more than replacing the tv at that point. That would have RGB, or even a video. What did it have other than coax?

      At least here in Europe we had SCART for CRTs. SCART is multipurpose connection, that supports variety of cables, including RGB. There was no adapter needed.

        Ah, it was what we called RCA for long time of my youth here. Left right audio, and shit video connection. (Grew up in U.S., Florida)

    I also had my 360 hooked up to a CRT, though mine was of the 90s school of design.

    Do you have any xbox360 recommendations? I just found a broken one looking in the garbage.

      Maybe stylized racing games like Blur. Or COD: Black Ops for the atmosphere. The 360 had a ton of great games. I remember playing GTA4 and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty on the CRT back then. Though I really can’t recommend the latter.

        Thanks. I had a working xbox 360 gifted from a friend the RROD on the first disk of Mass Effect 2

  I only had a projector when i got my ps3

  It was glorious!

    I used a projector and optical out to a receiver with a duel boot of yellowdog Linux on my first PS3. The “bread box” I guess they called it later. Great machine.

      Yeah i tried linux on it too but… at the time it was pretty useless for a gamer with a brand new console

      I regret selling it these days

  Dude, I was there and this is not true. Ps3 is what pushed me to opt for HD, and 90% of the time I spent on that system was in HD. That shift happened everywhere very quickly, especially by the time Skyrim came out - the text of which is damn near unreadable on a CRT.

    One of the things that sold the PS3 was it’s blue ray player. At a cheap price. As someone who also “was there” I never saw knew anyone playing blue ray on a crt. Like I said, it was short lived to see any ps3’s being played on one as well

      Ooops, I misread your comment. Looks like we just agree.

        You don’t want to fight to the death? Lol. It’s all good friend. We are all on edge with the world at the moment, and it makes us lash out easily. Not that you did. But I have to often

      The last of the CRTs were 720/1080i. I didn’t have one but for HDDVD/ BD disks it was killer to watch compared to an LCD. Plasma was a very deep pocket purchase, even for someone who could afford an early PS3/Xbox 360 HDDVD.

  It launched in 2006. A 40" was still more than $1000. A 32" Crt TV could be had for $~400~300. I’m guessing a lot of these wound up attached to CRT tv’s

  it was on a crt when I first got it. It was some years before I got the LCD TV it was still hooked up to.
