Why do people think that if someone gets an HDTV, oh immediately the best complement is the PS3? The 360 outputs 1080p, has HDMI, has HD movie downloads and HD games. Even if some of them are 720p (and for PS3 most is still 720p anyway), you CANNOT differentiate it to 1080p using the naked eye unless you have 50 inch+ TVs.

Lets not forget that Blu-Ray adoption in the US is not going on a rocket growth anyway. All Blu-Ray really gives is extra space, 1080p only visible difference on 50 inch+ TVs. And only ~1% of all movie titles are out in Blu-Ray, and ~90% sell through is still DVD. And if you havent noticed, Hollywood isnt exactly in the healthiest and most creative state in its lifetime at the moment.

And we know who is going to win based on software as well.

bolded is wrong :)

 

I would love to know whats right then.

But keep in mind, if youre gonna tell me you can see the difference when you really look closely staring right at the pixels, then this is moot. It is indistinguishable when sitting at the recommended viewing distance for your TV size. And this comes from looking myself and talking to a hardcore Sony fanboy.

 

 

I agree, but you know whats really funny? If they can tell the difference between Blu Ray and DVD upscaled then they can definately tell the difference between 1080p @ 60hertz vs 720p @ 25-30hertz. So why would they settle for crappy visuals on the PS3 when the PC obviously does it much better and if you're anal about stuff like this, then the extra expense/hassle of a PC is definately worth it.

I have a 53" LCD TV, I played a blu ray and I was like... hmmm, so thats it? I paid $10 extra for that? Etc etc.

If I want good visuals I plug my PC into my TV, if im not in that mood then the difference between the Wii/PS3/Xbox360 is moot because I just wanna play.
