I am buying a Sony 36-inch HDTV. I plan to connect my X-BOX to the HD-component inputs. My TV is NOT the new 16:9 format...it is still 4:3. Will the picture be elongated or look strange because it is not 16:9? Will it take up the entire screen?

Thanks...

No.

Most Xbox games are designed for 4:3 or you can display them in EITHER 4:3 or 6:9.
ALL Xbox games will look fine in 4:3. The Xbox has a menu that lets you choose which display to set it for.
I myself have a 4:3 TV that I squeeze down to 16:9. Widescreen Xbox games look great in 16:9 while others look better in 4:3. I think you shouldn't worry about it.
