God of War II 'not' in HD on PS3, just 480p

IGN's God of War II review is so ahead of its time that it (admittedly) fails to provide feedback on two key features of the retail edition of the game -- neither of which apparently would affect the review's overall score (9.7/10). The first is simply a bonus disc bloated with fanboy fluff (behind-the-scenes doc, etc.). The second, and more significant, is that God of War II will run in 720p (HD) resolution when played on PlayStation 3. The question for PS3 owners with HD displays, who are still holding onto their PS2s, becomes: is now the time I trade rumble for a sharper image? (PS2 owners wondering if this is the reason to upgrade to PS3 should know that it's not.)

Update: Doh, IGN got mixed up: "we've gotten word from an SCEA representative that the game will support 480p on the PlayStation 3 but not 720p. Our error was due to crossed information and we're sorry for the confusion." So when does Sony announce PS3 is packing its own 'Ana' chip? We want upscaling!

Sorry I had wrote that post about 4 hours earlier and waited to I got home to confirm it from my e-mail.
Talk about egg on my face. I am not even a snoy fanboy but I thought it was pretty cool

God of war sucks butt. Like mr. #29 said the only people who care about it are 14 year old boys.
People, start selling your playstations while they're still worth some bucks, because in one year they'll be worth nothing. Really all you playstations fanny's year grow up and buy a 360, the only console that has a real GoW, and games for grown-ups.
