Im running my Mega drive through a 20 inch old style tv that i only take out of the wardrobe to play megadrive. The SNES dose not look too bad on hdtv the playstation 1 and 2 and original xbox dont fare so well. Dont wanna be playing them on 20 inch tv tho.

I play them through my 32'' HDTV in 4:3 mode and they actually look ok.

I can't remember the last time I didn't get a game early from shopto.

I also have an independant retailer who bumps the price up £5 and puts games on the shelves as he gets them in if I forget to order online.

I have a megadrive and a psOne. I'm also trying to get my hands on a c64.

I play mine through a 19 inch HD Ready TV. I don't notice the difference between HD and regular TV's, so I don't think he games look bad at all.

I have a 19" crt but that is ruined as it is currently used to play schmups so it is sat on its side.

Grandstand, Master System II, CDi, Playstation, Xbox, Gamecube, GB + GBA. These are the only ones I've kept held of, along with a game and watch somewhere. I haven't had the fancy TV for that long just two years ago it would have been the CRT but most things have been buried away when I moved back in with my parents. Although I do really want to pick up a Dreamcast.

Dreamcasts look great on a HDTV as you can get a VGA box and run them in that way.

I want to get a component cable for my Gamecube, but you're looking at £75ish, which is insane.
