Wasn't the PS3 going to run two monitors, full 1080p - at 100fps locked? What happened to that?



Note that this *was* originally promised by Kaz, when the PS3 was first announced. And now it doesn't even have true 1080p games - and even fewer that run 1080p at 60fps (locked).

Kaz promised 120 FPS IIRC. Why they would do 120 FPS I don't know because LCDs and HDTVs can only render 70 FPS MAX so having more than 70 FPS is a waste of time and effort.

Actually, the latest LCD HDTVs have 120hz refresh rates, so they can display 120fps. :P

And I thought it was Krazy Ken that was trumpeting the 120fps stuff?

120 Hz refresh rates I can understand, but I don't see the use for more than 60 FPS. locked 30 FPS is enough for slower paced games and 60 FPS can be of benefit to fast paced games, but smoother motion we cannot distinguish with our eyes/brains, that's why 24 FPS in combination with motion blur for fast paced movie scenes is enough for silky smooth fluent movement perception.
