. As long as most people (like me) have 720p TVs it would be pretty idiotic to hope for 1080p games that have 50% pixel operations per screen pixel.
Most HD Ready TVs have a native resolution slightly higher than 720p (768p), so you get a few extra lines rendered when 1080p content is downscaled to your screen's native resolution.
1280 x 1080, is a very nice resolution. You get a similar or better result as from 720p content on a HD Ready TV. If you have a FullHD TV you get the benefit from even higher resolution. For a small to average TV HD Ready is IMO good enough, for an above average TV IMO 1080p is well recommended (especially if you use it to watch Blu-Ray movies as well).
BTW, GT5p and SSHD are both 60 FPS despite their much higher resolution, so the PS3 is powerful enough. Further gains will be made, there's still a lot of headroom left for developers to tap into by optimising their game engines.
