whats the big deal? Wii gamers deal with 480p on a daily basis. live with 720p and lots more games are starting to support 1080 such as CoD4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, and more to come

 

you missed the point the tv in question does not support 720p, only 1080i and below, 1080i is a lesser rate than 720p if you did not know. also the op is mildly pissed because the 360 supports all resolutions through gpu scaling, where the ps3 marketed as a better solution it does not

 

1080i is 1920x1080@30fps displayed as alternating odd/even fields for a 60Hz effect. 720p is 1280x720@60fps. Do the math. 1080i is technically superior to 720p.

wow this argument again, then tell me why 1080i is not considered real hd, but only hd ready. where 1080p/720p have become and are named high definition standards ... if you reply, it will be a few hours before i can do the same, im headed out for a meeting in annother city so i wont be back till around 5 eastern standard
