1080p and 60fps games?

Edit: I just checked, and it looks like it uses a similar trick to what Ninja Gaiden Sigma or the GT5 demo thing uses (1080 lines high, but not 1920 across). On my display from a distance it comes across as a slightly more crisp 720p if I don't look up close. Still a great looking game though.

It's not a special trick, Super Stardust HD renders in 1440 x 1080 and is scaled for fitting a FullHD display.

Also, as HappySquirrel says below, 1080p must be 1920x1080. "Full HD" is just marketing speak for 1080p. Some people have been misinformed into thinking that anything with 1080 lines vertical is 1080p, while 1920x1080 is "Full HD 1080p" ..which isn't the case.

I was referring to 1080p, not the FullHD 1080p standard.

For example:

1080p High Definition Multimedia Digital Camcorder (DV-1080hd)

"5.) 1440 x 1080 (1080P) HD high definition video resolution up to 30fps

6.) 1280 x 720 (720P) @60fps can capture high speed motion precisely"

Nothing to become upset about though, like for example Happy Squirrel got upset about this fact in the past....
