Also, you can't really see 1080i or 1080p if your tv is smaller than 50 inches

xooco
It has nothing to do with the size of the TV and everything to do with the distance you sit from it. I'll notice 1080p on a 60" screen from 25 feet away, but not on a 40" from 2 feet away?

inall technicallity friend 1080i is best if its smaller than 70inches...i play in 1080i since my tv is 52, so its like playing in 1080p btw my info is from a cnet article somewhee on their siteWindblade91
...It's like playing 1080p if your TV properly de-interlaces the signal.

well i have both the 1080p and 720p t.v.'s and honestly i prefer the 1080p cause its smoother and better colour and picture and sharpness. but then again i have played on the 720p and its almot the exact same, never get an "i" t.v. they just suck balls trust me. only get "p"KiraNoir
1080p TVs are usually better than 720p but it's not just a matter of resolution, step-up models have more improved features, like different backlights on LCDs, etc. The resolution isn't really to thank for the more vivid colors.

You're right man 1080p is where to go when it comes to anything. But, no offense but some of us had LCD tvs before 1080p came out. There are plently of people on this site that have LCD tvs that play 480p/720p/1080i and that's it. So we gotta work with what we got lol. Moreover, if a tv isn't past like 40 inches it doesn't matter anyway cause you can't tell the difference. That's why you don't see any 1080p 32 inchers out there.kenken2g
I would be more likely to say they don't make a 32" 1080p display due to constraints of making individual pixels that small, cost would be prohibitive.

by the way even if you have a 1080p tv the best resolution you'll get is 1080i because tvs cannot accept 1080psignals gamer18033
Stop with the FUD man. That's complete bull, the vast majority of 1080p TVs accept 1080p over HDMI and quite a number of them over component.

maybe YOU need to get your facts right. hes saying the HD channels broadcasted on TV are not in full HD which is true. most if not all sports are in 720p resolution and i believe discovery channel is in 1080i. only way you can get true 1080p source is through blu ray or select ps3 games. im talking about TRUE 1080p, not upscaled.

Maybe you could learn how to read, he didn't say "Broadcast signals are not 1080p", he said "TVs cannot accept 1080p signals". By the way, even if you feed your flat panel an interlaced signal, it deinterlaces it because flat panels are progressive fixed-pixel displays. Not only that, 1080i *properly* deinterlaced, IS 1080p, only at a lower frame rate.

That said, don't pay attention to the back of game cases for resolutions people. They can put anything on there, pretty much all of them are 720p native anyway. When it says 1080p it basically just means your console will upscale for you, perhaps a bit better than your display would, I doubt as well as a Reon or Realta chip would. Look at Halo 3, it's not even technically HD, it's just upscaled, and yet the back of the case says *shock* 1080p...

New franchise vs. the franchise that has kept the Xbox division from completely bombing. Nice comparison...

I honestly believe that 360 fanboys have become the worst on the site. They are the new cows, their console is on top (gamewise) so they randomly bash everything else. Everyone can admit that the 360 has a pretty solid game lineup right now. What lemmings need to admit is that our cool white box has big issues. The majority of good games on it are available elsewhere, and no console... *ever*... has had the issues with unreliability that the 360 has, not even the PS2 DRE.

Lemmings also need to admit that when PS3 and Wii get an exclusive, it's a *real* exclusive the majority of the time. When 360 gets an exclusive, it's usually a timed one, or "Microsoft" exclusive, which means any of us on the forum could play it because we all use pc's. Finally, cows should be allowed to look forward to what's coming, like FF13 and MGS4, because lemmings have had 3 (THREE) years to say "omg wait 'til Halo 3 comes out!" "Halo 3 will be the bee's knees!" "Halo 3 is the be-all and end-all of gaming"... etc.

If the 360 has so many great games, lemmings should shut up and play them and spend less time on here claiming godliness. Personally, I stay pretty entertained by my half-dozen 360 games, but I'm definitely glad to have the other 2 consoles also.

Wii hasn't needed a price drop because it's so cheap to begin with. The new PS3 is a good idea though, so many people already have a PS2, and this SKU really focuses on what the PS3 should focus on: online, great new games, and blu-ray movies.

I had windows ME :( lmao. Sure I was 14, but still :(. 360 has great games. The ones I think are worth owning are Gears, Halo 3, Guitar Hero 2, Oblivion, DDR: Universe, and Fight Night Round 3. Half those games are available on other consoles. Meanwhile, Gears is going to PC and Halo 3 will eventually. I know that my Nintendo games will never leave the Wii, and the PS3 has some great games that I can't play anywhere else. Sure each console has lots of exclusive games, but most exclusives are garbage.

Blu-ray discs are fantastic. The movies are extremely high quality. Was Blu-ray required for Lost Planet on PS3? I don't know, Lost Planet sucks and I didn't buy it for my 360 either.

Yeah, it's too bad about the Red Lights. MS might have seen some profit this generation. I think half the sales are us guys selling our refurbs to the masses and getting new machines. "OMG Zephyr", "OMG Falcon", etc. :(

Yeah, and Super Nintendo and Genesis didn't play the kind of games these systems do. These are more like computers, get used to it. There are updates. The main thing is the Emotion Engine. Who gives an eff? You want backwards compatibility? Buy an 80 gig. 80% not good enough? Get a 60. Everyone knew the E.E. was going to be taken out from the start. Aside from that, it's USB and card readers. Who cares?! I have a pc hooked up to my HDTV for that. SACD? Does anyone care about that? Those of us who do already have SACD players. Last, hard drives are interchangeable, unlike MS. People are crying because they don't have the latest version of the machine. Thing is, they are still *all* the same machine, unlike the 360. If you want one SKU, buy a Wii. If you want all the best games, be a manticore and see that *each* system has it's flaws.

Everyone knows the early adopters of technology get screwed. It's called being on the bleeding edge. I've sold TVs for 4000 dollars that have had a 1000 price drop a month later. Look at LCD and plasma. Prices practically get cut in half year-over-year. Grow up, maybe you should have been like the majority of people and bought after a price drop. Look at the 360 early adopters, 2 years of Red Lights. Hopefully Resistance was worth it, I bought Wii on day one, Zelda wasn't worth how much I don't use the system. I bought 360 a year ago, Gears of War was worth it for me, even though I've had the Red Lights.

And in my opinion, the 360 is worse. I own one, I enjoy it when it's working, but I'm not afraid to admit it's built like a piece of crap. They started with the Core and Premium, one of which was trash, then played catchup with HDMI and had to double Sony's 60 GB HDD, so made the Elite. Now they are cutting the Core and making the Arcade pack. To top it all off, at least the PS3 has a standard hard drive, and other straight-across-the-board features. Look at what it takes to add wi-fi (if you want it, I don't) to a 360. A wad of cash and a dongle. HD DVD? Another wad of cash and a dongle. It's not like the PS3 is the only one with controller problems. The 360 had a crappy wired version, and I don't know if anyone noticed but the Wii has the most expensive controller around. So stop crying, everyone has something to complain about.

Panasonic makes amazing Plasmas. So does Pioneer. Panasonic also makes garbage LCD, and they regularly bash LCD despite manufacturing them :s.
