call of duty 4 on the ps3 can run at 1080p how the hell is that sub-HD?!
Both 360 and PS3 versions upscale to 1080p and are nearly identical, this gives a similar effect as if you would get from upscaling a DVD, loss in detail compared to native. Basically objects far away this you by far can't distinguish well enough compared to native 1080p graphics and things nearby don't look as detailed. The PS3 can upscale PS2 games to 1080p as well but they are not 1080p games.
COD4 is rendering only 600 lines, older TVs show 576 (Europe) or 480 lines (US), so playing on an old TV this doesn't really matter. Scalar chips are pretty cheap and found in cheap DVD players as well as in HDTVs.
