And watch for Microsoft fanboys to jump all over this as revenge for attacking Halo 3 for this, and watch Sony fanboys pretend this doesn't matter, even though they basically claimed, in those same Halo 3 attacks, that the PS3 would never have to upscale.

QFT. I hope that everyone who attacked the Xbox 360 for not having Halo 3 in 1080p comes out and finally admits that the PS3 is not leaps and bounds better than the 360.

As for me, I'll say the same thing as I always said - resolution is just one of the variables which affect graphical quality, so can we please stop with the "OMG1080PFTW".

Besides, most people don't have 1080p capable TVs and 1080p only matters in very big TVs. Either that or if you play with your nose bumped against the screen, which I hope you don't because it's bad for your eyes.

 

Um, if you're using this to show that the 360 is on par with the PS3 then you're just wrong. Halo did not hit true 720p, while GT5 Prologue Demo didn't hit true 1080p. Both games are using some pretty advanced graphical effects like HDR lighting, but GT5 is doing it at a higher resolution. So wouldn't that mean that the PS3 is in fact a step ahead of the 360?

Note: I really don't know which system is more powerful, nor do I care all that much as long as my games look and play beautifully. I'm just saying you're argument comparing Halo to GT5 doesn't work to show that the two systems are on par.

It's not abbout which system is on par. It's about using BS to claim a system is weak.

BTW, Gran Turismo has a higher resolution due to the nature of racing games versus FPS, so it doesn't prove the PS3 is stronger.

I totally agree. Both systems are quite powerful and it's pretty impossible to figure out how they compare to each other. Maybe by the end of the generation we'll be better able to figure that out, but as of right now, both systems are pulling off some impressive games.
