I'm interested in seeing how MikeB contorts himself out of this one...

WOW, quite a response!!

I'm surprised by the lack of true full HD games as that is what I had expected from the PS3, 360. Especially the PS3 which has always boasted its power/capabilities!!

I'm also surprised by the amount of games that are actually upscaled to 1080p from 720 and sometimes even lower resolutions!!!

Anyway my mate is still unsure about what to get TV wise even if he is still set on a PS3.

Actually, the latest LCD HDTVs have 120hz refresh rates, so they can display 120fps. :P

And I thought it was Krazy Ken that was trumpeting the 120fps stuff?

From the devs of Tomb Raider Underground I mean Underworld...

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the geometric complexity is already a problem. I'd have to say that there's little question that 1080p is something for which no console this generation is remotely suitable. Yes, it's achievable, but that doesn't mean the hardware is suited to the task.

Think of 1080p like cake. Yes, cake does indeed exist, and you've surely eaten it at some point in your life, but the safer assumption is that the cake is a lie.

Actually, no, they don't have 120 Hz refresh rates, or at least they can't display 120 fps. They can't even display 30 fps correctly, so no. These TV are 120 Hz in marketing only, and replace the moving image with sth even worse than usual, totally destroying the original. There's a reason more expensive LCD TV don't have this 120 Hz thing, yet have a better image and a better refresh rate.

Uncharted and Ratchet both do 1080p. All you have to do is go to display settings on the PS3 and uncheck every other resolution except 1080p. For some reason, Sony has it set for 720p to be the default resolution, even if a game runs a native 1080p and 720p.

Both of those games are upscaled. You're simply playing the 720p versions upscaled. There is no new content. 

Tell that to PC gamers.

Well the problem is the PS3 is not a pc, therefore you cant just port it over to the ps3. Different architecture which you have to figure out before achieving anything.
