Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360 - Truth Behind Real 1080p

Well then, because your cable box won't output a 1080P signal over component(which makes sense, since all the hoopla about 11080P over component has to do with piracy...), you assume the set itself won't do it. Makes sense I guess. I am 99.9% sure your set accepts 1080P over component, seeing as other people with the same set have actually tried it with the xbox360, and it worked fine.

There are very few native 1080P games on the market on either system, the ps3 wiki list is completly wrong the majority of those games are upscaled from 720P.

Infact the only full retail game i can think of that runs natively at 1080P is sony's NBA game i forget which i think it was the launch title, they needed a 1080P game since they had been using "true HD" as there marketing hype.

There are very few HD-TV's that allow 1080p through component due to the copyright protection HDCP, its not the cables inability to produce that signal but the DRM.

This is also not an arguement about which console can do more games natively in 1080p, native 1080p can be produced by both systems providing you have the TV that can output 1080P, it's the developers that decide wheter a game can be played natively in 1080P.

So far many developers have said 720P is the sweat spot for HD games development, i cannot think of 1 game that runs natively in 1080P on consoles that does not suffer from some techincal issues.

I find 1080p to be quite irrelevent i have a 42" 1080P HDTV and i see very little difference between 1080p and 720p(probably because no games are natively 1080p) in my expierence 720P is more than fine for gaming this generation, i not a pixel counter so maybe im missing something but to me the debate over 1080p vs 720p is a moot point.

If Sony had never have touted "Full HD 1080P, 120 FPS in 4D on PS3" we probably would not be having this conversation.

There are lots and lots of TV's that accept 1080P over component.

How so? Microsoft never claimed the 360 was going to play games in 1080P, but showed it is fully capable of doing just that. Sony was the one hyping 1080P to high heaven, then 90% of the games aren't even in 1080P.

You don't have to. I know it does. Why would the people on avsforum lie about it?
