My personal opinion of why people don't experience that same issues with the 360/PS3 is that they both have very good scalers built into them. So no matter what the game is rendered at 480P,540P,587P,640P,720P, 1080P the tv gets the exact resolution it wants. Even the cheap HD sets can handle that.
This was an issue people rarely discussed when 1080P vs. 720P was a big cost difference and people said 1080P wasn't worth it . But scaling to 1080P is very easy and clean.
I also watched a Firefly dvd on my friends tv and it looked like crap. I think he had it hooked up with composite cables as well. I never knew what badly handled deinterlacing looked like before but I do now.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
