@montrealsoon, KruzeS: Kruze has it right (thanks!), mine is a CRT HDTV so dot pitch horizontally doesn't really enter into the equation. Component HDTV is an analog signal -- there's vertical resolution (number of scan lines) but no horizontal resolution limitation to speak of. LCD HDTV's are based on pixels, so they have fixed resolutions in both dimensions, but CRT displays are just modulating an electron beam as it moves across each scan line -- my set will handle 480i, 480p, and 1080i regardless of horizontal resolution, because there really IS none inherent to the signal. But it won't handle 720p (or 1080p, which wasn't even being considered at the time) which is why the PS3 approach does me little good -- this has been a known problem with the PS3 and early HDTV sets, in that if it can't reach 720p when the game is native at that resolution it drops the resolution DOWN to 480p. And there's no way to force it to upscale to 1080i, whereas the 360 can do that (as does my HDTV receiver when I watch 720p broadcast content.) What's especially annoying is that Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2 outputs 1080i just fine! Don't want to derail the thread, just wanted to clarify.
