Xbox360 and PS3 come HD ready with no hassle, but how come we never hear of PC doing 1080p or even 720 or 480 anything?

This is a joke right? PC has been doing games in HD before the tern HD was even invented. PC games were running is HD resolutions over a decade ago.

Ages ago when the first graphics accelerators came out, you could run games in 640X480. That would be 480i. That was ages ago. Todays PCs can double 1080p resolution.

When I read the title, I knew the TC was in trouble.

I'm not a PC gamer and even I know that.

I just LOVE the fact that I get to be here when this is happening. Normally I miss out on these legendary threads. But now it will forever be burned in my memory "where were you when that poster asked when HD would come to PCs" like when kennedy was shot or columbine happened.
