Halo 3 could be a brilliant game...but if true that it runs at 640p then it's not a Next Gen HD game for me.
I reckon Bungie have done this so that they can get more graphical content into the games...ie. more polys, textures and models.
I reckon PS3 developers should do the same as well. They are trying to make games 1080p, when most people that even have an HD set can't view above 720p. Maybe it would be a good idea for them all to develop all their games for the next few years at 720p, this would allow them more processor time to have more polys, textures and models and physics as well.

Well, obviously! 640p isn't HD! However, I prefer lower resolutions but richer game worlds than higher resolutions for the sake of higher resolutions. As an example, look at True Crime: Streets of LA for the original Xbox - at normal resolution it looked alright, but at the crisp 720p resolution the game world just looked sterile by comparison.

But looking at these shots, I don't know what the real resolution is anymore. Seeing the images on the forum that Gran Turismo linked to ( http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=187120 ) it looks quite nice, and pretty hi-res to me...
