I've been suffering in silence.

I have to admit, ever since I remodeled our basement and put in a big-ass HD television, I've spent a bulk of my gaming time playing on the 360, mostly because it's the only one with high-def support. (Yes, I know about the GameCube, shut it!)

I mostly played on the PS2, Xbox and GameCube when I was reviewing a game or when I had an itch for a particular title, like Guitar Hero.

But the thing is, on the big screen I really suck on Guitar Hero. That isn't to say I'm normally any good, but I don't usually suck. It's been driving me nuts. Then last weekend I plopped in Karaoke Revolution and came voice to voice with my problem. The damn sound system was adding a tiny delay, like half a second, to the audio. No wonder.

The delay was sort of throwing off my Guitar Hero playing, but it totally wrecked my KR experience.

I tried tinkering with the receiver and TV to no avail. How many other HD owners have this problem? If it's widespread does it mean that music games are on their way out? I;m certainly jumping the gun here, because a lot of people don't have HD, but as more next-gen systems hit pushing high-def more people are going to adopt. And then what? Please tell me they figure out a work around for Guitar Hero 2. Brian Crecente
