Question
Hello, my question is about Xbox360 System / games because I've been having a hard time recently trying to read every advertise, dialogue, sign or EVERYTHING when playing games (this does not include xbox home menus) , because the font size is too tiny for me to read... (and no, I do not need glasses)..

My X360 game library includes: Banjo Kazooie: Nust and Bolts, Assasin's Creed, Fable 2 and GTA IV. I guess part of my problem is the size of my TV, that's a medium... but anyway, here's the question:

żIs there any posible configuration on my Xbox360 console, or in the games, to increase the font size on dialogues/advertisements? Cause.. well you know, buying a supersize TV is not like a posibility for these hard times... xD

Thanks for your time

Answer
Gday Sophie,

Unfortunately there is really no way of increasing the font size on your x-box 360 games.  About the only thing that may help providing your TV is a HD one is upgrading the cable used to hook up your TV to HDMI (Which should help the clarity of the picture) and maybe increase the resolution to something higher on the TV.  

But of course if you have a normal older smaller analog TV your are out of luck.  Unfortunately most of the newer generation of games are designed to display on the bigger TV capable of displaying in a HD format.  I think they expect you to already have the biggest and greatest of everything to hook you X-box up to.  (I wish I had the money to blow on something like that don't you.)  You'll just have to squint and sit that bit closer to the TV to try and be able to read the fonts.  (Not that it's going to help much)
