I've looked at the Hdmi 1.4 spec here: 

http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/specificationdownload.aspx?t=e1bcfddf-de4b-4bcc-ba78-96f50c86f565&f=3

, and correct me if i'm wrong, but on page 11 I see 1920x1080p @60hz, as well as 1080i. So i'm not sure what all the fuss is about with people saying hdmi 1.4 doesn't support 1080p at 60hz, it does!!

Sony originally stated that StardustHd would run in 1080 and 3d, but since has changed their tune on that, but it's not because of a limitation of the hdmi1.4.

Ssenkahdavic and I determined that HDMI 1.3/1.4 ave enough bandwith to do 1080p @60 in 3D so yeah, its not the limitation of HDMI 1.4.

And you are right, 1080p is listed in the spec document as one of the "Secondary 3D Video Format Timings"...meaning it is optional.

Because of this none of the TVs out so far support have taken the liberty of supporting 1080p@60 for gaming. They don't have to as the HDMI standard doesn't force them to (see "Table 8-15 3D transmission video formats" which lists what they have to support)

They may in the near future though...hence why I am saying one should wait...
