MikeB - The ps3 is a powerful machine yes, the Cell is just where it stops at.
The DRM's on the PS3 are so minimal they make little to no difference on buffering the images so there goes your 1080p unless they can make higher resolution images use less space. To top it off the Ram allocated to this is 256 or 512 partitioned, it's enough to run stuff that's been running on PC back in 2003 with ease.
The key difference is back then that much ram with a processor and a graphics set would cost you about 1300+ USD
or 800 USD depending.
Either way the PS3 is the 'cheapest' way to get a 1080i display or even better 720p.
Also resolution directly = clarity of the image, if it's an image of a turd at 1080p you can see that turd on a TV like it's right in front of you in real life... almost.
Does that mean you want to examine or you could appreciate the intricities of the turd... no.
There are a few other parts to making something look good but resolution is just helping you see what already looks good.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
