My TV does 1080i, and a bunch of modes under 720p - but not 720p (or 1080p). At least the 360 upsamples games that run in 720 (or other modes) to 1080i - but on the PS3 I get lovely 480p quality (for games that run in 720p for instance). Now that's worth spending that cash for.
BTW - my DVD player plays DIVX movies off a USB drive/key, and upsamples them to 1080p (or lower). It even came with a HDMI cable. All this for $140AU.
EDIT - this entire thread is trash.
Well, I'm sorry you bought an inferior HDTV. I'm sure that was cheap when you bought it. I've played the PS3 games on a SDTV and I find the graphics to be stunning. Upon hooking it up to my monitor so that I could watch TV at the same time, I could not see a noticeable difference in quality when using 720p. Seems to me you could just enjoy the games no matter the resolution.
It is entirely possible Sony will add upscaling. Has microsoft had upscaling the whole time? I don't believe so.
