at the end of the day...i don't need a number on the back of the box to tell me what looks better on my tv, so when i pop in call of duty mw2 it looks good but not great even though it says 1080p on the box, when i pop in uncharted 2 it looks amazing even though it says 720p on the box, so its w/e for the whole alan wake thing, it doesnt matter what it says on the box, the first 10 min or w/e looks awesome...I let me and my tv do the judging of graphics.

MW2 is sub HD and the 1080p sign on the box only means that it's possible to upscale it to 1080p, whereas Uncharted 2 only supports up to 720p.

yes i know that, thats the point i was trying to make...that it doesn't really matter what it says on the box or what DF tells you how many pixels are represented in the screen. The Point i was trying to make was that you should look at the game with your own eyes, does it look awesome? or not? often you can tell without having to break out a calculator, that is unless you want to win a forum debate about which game looks better than game x. BUt if you have to go into that much detail, chances the games both look great.
