| NJ5 said: For many years now, PC games have had resolutions far higher than 1080p with no need for Blu-Ray at all. You could make a 1080p game in a 1.44 MB floppy disk, though it probably wouldn't have much content (unless it was mostly procedurally generated).

Perhaps PC games have had resolutions far higher than 1080p *technically*, but you just failed to understand what a 1080p game means, which PC sure enough didn't have.
A 1080p game means a game whose native or recommended resolution is 1080p.
There aren't even 1080p monitors, whose native resolution is 1920x1080, as monitors are 16:10.
Technically, there are no 1080p PC games precisely because most monitors are 16:10 anyway, and not 16:9.
And I don't know of any monitor that is big enough to have a native resolution of 1920x1080.
Strangely enough, games on PC can have higher resolutions, but there is no way to display this resolution on monitors, you have to buy a HDTV for that.
And keep in mind that 1080p just means 1080 lines of resolution for every frames, the horizontal resolution can be anything (960, 1920, ...) and it will still be 1080p.
So actually, PS3 has more 1080p games than listed here. And I think XB360 has at least one (I think it has 3, but I'm not current on the games).
Finally, people that say there's no difference between 720p and 1080p are laughable. Especially when these same people bash the Wii for not being HD.
