So recently I got an Xbox 360 and I played it on my small tv in my room which was alright because I could see everything but now that I have a bigger tv which is approx 28 inches I get dizzy from playing for just 15mins this never happens when I play the Playstation 2 on the big tv and no matter what game I play on my Xbox 360 I still get dizzy and start to feel nauseous within 15 minutes of playing, has this ever happened to anyone else that owns a Xbox 360 or is it just me, because this has never happened to me before.

Really depends on what you are playing, and could possibly be that you are squinting your eyes to read stuff (because most games basically require you to have a hi-def TV or else you can barely read any small print), or because of motion blur in the games that you are not used to, or because 28 inches is not a big TV, and still rather small.  Even yet, you might be sitting too close to the screen (because you are so entranced), or you are not drinking enough water.

I have owned a 360 for 2 years now, and this has never happened to me by the way.

Dead Rising had that text problem.. Man it was annoying trying to read the shit in that game. I think you might be too close to the TV or take a break every once in a while when playing it.

every game renders 3-d differently and the frame rate also plays a part. i know i can play 99% of games no problem, but timesplitters 2 gave me a headache playing it. so i would say it's more the game than it is the console, since i don't see how the hardware could be causing this (unless you have faulty cables or something).

Motion sickness. Some people got it when playing Turok on the N64! I think you're pretty much screwed as a gamer.

Yeah I think this is the problem, I've been sitting quite close to the TV and I never really noticed... but funny thing is this does not happen when I play the PS2 on the same TV, seeing as my TV is not a flat screen but a big bulky TV it takes a lot of space in my room. I do get dizzy from some games, like star trek which you were a ship or something and you had to fly around endlessly shooting other ships that made me dizzy as hell, so I also think Motion Sickness could play a part in this, I've never been on a plane before so I didn't think of that either.

EDIT: I am going to replace the big TV with the smaller TV that I had previously because it seems that the TV is so big that it takes up space in my room, which makes it quite close to me even though I can't do anything about it wherever I sit. The problem with this is that I won't be able to play Hitman Blood Money which requires display setting to be set to PAL-60 and I can't do that with my small TV.

I got sick and almost puked when I played Half-Life 2!  I've never had that problem with any other games and I do play plenty of first-person games.  But anyway I don't have much to add other than maybe try playing a different game.

Or maybe it's like seasickness and you just need to man up and deal with it for awhile until you get used to it!

Well Turok was a pretty muddy and ugly game.

Now if only a developer could successfully recreate that game's fun factor.  The latest Turok was pretty generic.

I've never experienced motion sickness from games but I have noticed that depending on the refresh rate, frame rate, and color palette I'll experience varying degrees of queasiness.  I couldn't sit closer than 10ft from my tv while playing Ico and squinting text in Dead Rising killed me.

Is it true that a lot of japanese people can't play FPS games, or a least not for a period of time, without getting motion sickness

I hope it is because it cracks me up

This happens to me.  It's really weird, because if the graphics are cutting edge, I don't get sick, but if I go back and play an older FPS after that, I get sick from it.

I have a medical requirement to only play the latest and greatest FPSs.

i don't know if it's SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN but their most common complaint is that any fast paced games give them motion sickness.

it's kind of funny considering that they're the kings of ridiculous color based puzzle games and SHMUPS but the sales of games like Ikaruga and Metal Slug are surprisingly low.

I only get this feeling when I am using the panoramic mode on my HDTV.
