My gut feeling is that it probably wouldn't work. Just as the PC
Monitor guns don't work on a regular TV, and the TV guns don't work
on a PC monitor, even though they are both CRT displays. I suspect
that HDTVs probably work differently enough that they wouldn't be
compatible with the light guns.

Still, I could be wrong, and if anyone has the means to test this,
I'd be very curious to know the outcome.

Personally, I'm keeping a close eye on the upcoming "universal light
gun" from E-Real Games ( http://www.erealgames.com/aboutrgt.htm ).
Their web site states that it will only be for PS2 and XBox, and
they make no mention of the PC. However, a while ago, I read a
report about this gun when it was demo'ed at E3, and the report said
it would work with a PC. I can certainly envision many
applications for this technology on a PC, even for non-gaming use
(it could be the ultimate replacement for the laser pointer when
making PowerPoint presentations, a real point-and-click mouse!).

If they don't make a PC version of it, I wonder if there's any way
to plug a PS2 or XBox light gun into a PC and make it work somehow.
