Sorry MikeB, total fail.

1920x1080 is 1080p. 1280x1080 is NOT. Stop dancing around the fucking subject and just admit it.

704x480, 640x480 and 720x480. All 480p standards.

1080i can be a resolution of 1920×1080, but the HDV standard 1440×1080 pixels is also 1080i. Just read some HDV articles (both 720p and 1080i is supported) before upsetting yourself any further.

It's all so simple...

Yeah, okay.

Again, 1080p is 1920x1080. GT5p does not run at that resolution. Just fucking admit this and we can both move on. Why are you bringing up 480p and 1080i? They are different fucking resolutions that have nothing to do with this conversation.

1080p means 1080 lines progressively scanned. It like 480p and 1080i, the term does not strictly define horizontal resolution. I know Microsoft made a big deal about 1080p in the past claiming you can't have a well performing game in this resolution on neither 360 or PS3.

Sony hailed FullHD (1980x1080) for movies and stated the PS3 supported games in "up to 1080p".

The original confirmation:

"The PlayStation 3 will include BluRay , the high definition DVD technology, and support games in resolutions of up to 1080p, (the highest supported standard on the market.)"

Really what's there to be upset about? Sure I can understand you being upset about the wrong Microsoft statement, but why be upset Gran Turismo 5 Prologue runs in a much higher resolution than any race game runs on the 360?

1080p is not like 480p or 1080i. 1080i is an interlaced format used by TVs of many different configuations, meaning that TVs of many different resolutions (720p, 1080p, CRT TVs) can display it. 480p is not a high definition format and therefore, is used in both 4:3 and 16:9 formats. Neither one applies to 1080p, a format that is strictly defined as being 1920x1080 resolution when used in a 16:9 format.

From Wikipedia:

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of display resolutions. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution,^[1] while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p is considered an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total. The frame rate in Hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p, such as 1080p30, meaning 30 Hz.

What does that tell you? If someone decided to make a "1080p" TV in anything other than 16:9, it would have a different resolution. But, and this is a huge BUT, when it is used in 16:9 configuration, it is a 1920x1080 resolution.

The reason I'm upset about this is because this is just one of many blatant lies you constantly spew onto this forum. I don't give a shit how good GT5p looks (and it does look very good), I only give a shit about how you constantly twist the truth to fit whatever Sony propoganda you feel like vomiting onto the board at the moment.

The Wikipedia article is not stating anything incorrect. 1280 x 1080 is also a 1080 p/i HD resolution, the PS3 scalar then upscales this to FullHD, your TV scales this to your native HDTV resolution.
