Sheppy-Also you do realize the PS3 has the equivalent of a Geforce7800 in it right? So doesn't that make your PC "better, stronger, faster, and infinatly modable" over the PS3 too? That argument goes both ways with consoles, of course PC hardware is always going to go beyond what's inside a console.

#50 Sheppy you must be lying about your PC graphics card. Here's the problem, the Geforce 8800 only comes in 640MB RAM and 768MB RAM so how does yours have 512MB? If you are going to lie to make a point, at least do your homework first and get the correct info to lie about ;)

Also his list said GRAW1 and you are talking about GRAW2 and even a GRAW3, those would be different from GRAW1.

Really? Well let's see my Mitsubishi rear projection is less than a 2 year old model and supports 480i/480p and 1080i, not 720p. I have a family member with a larger model Mitsu that is less than 3 years old, same issue. I have multiple friends all with 2 year old or less rear projection CRT big screen HDTV's that do not support 720p from various manufacturers, yet all support 1080i.

The fact the 360 has a builtin scaler is obviously very important to me and those I know with similar tv's. At this point even if I wanted a PS3 (and so far I see no compelling games or reasons to get one) I would be stuck with playing most games in 480p which isn't even HD but ED. Gee thanks Sony. Isn't it ironic that the large electronics manufacturer didn't include an upscaling chip in its "4D" and "future proof" system when a company known mostly for its software got it right?

I guess Sony and their fan boys will argue that I should just toss out a perfectly working 2 year old TV and buy a new one that supports 720p to fix Sony's mistake. While I can afford to do that if needed, I don't see that happening. I'll just stick with my 360 and if/when Sony adds an upscaler and has some compelling exclusive game I want to play then maybe I will pick up the PS3.
