And I have to stop you right there. Upscaler chip or no, the 360 does a worse job of upscaling than the PS3, regardless of what 1080p screen the player is using. Watch a DVD via HDMI cable on the 360 to view the 1080p upscaled image. Then do the same on a PS3. There is no question that the upscaler chip in the 360 does a worse job of upscaling video than the PS3. In addition to producing a softer image, the 360 also has some serious de-interlacing issues with upscaled video. About the only video that looks extremely clean on the 360 is from HD-DVD playback. From a games perspective, it's more or less a wash with 1080p native games (the small handful on either) on both systems looking equally sharp. Personally, I find that most 360 games look better being displayed at 1280x720 (native resolution) rather than upscaled as the image is sharper (with the trade off of some pixel stepping). As for Dashboard, it is rendered at 1280x720 as mentioned in a previous post and then upscaled to 1080p, hence the softness of GUI. It's easily noticeable on both small text (ie. "latest games") and on virtually all of the "My Xbox" icons: the edges of the Open disc icon, the Windows Media Center icon, etc. It's pretty obvious to anyone who knows the difference.

the upscaler in the 360 vs ps3, is open to debate, haveing used both, id say the 360s is a better solution, and better quality, with the ability to display all resolutions that the tv connected to it is capable of using. the most crucial is that last point, as the ps3 can not use 1080i scaling for a large number of tvs.
