…then I think that it can be seen as a victory for all. MS and Nintendo will see this as a BIG gain in the market share over Sony from the last gen. However, Sony will still be the biggest beneficiary of them all since they will have placed so many blu-ray players in the market opening up the movie market for them. And although Sony will have lost considerably to what they had last gen with the PS2 if it is split 1/3 down the line, Sony will probably see the most FINANCIAL gain, although t...
Jiggajayp, thank you! Finally, some 360 fan had to come over here in this PS3 SECTION some time or later and show these PS3 fans what was up! And what a better way to make people jealous than show off raw vs. smackdown! I just bet that every one of those PS3 fans is just dying to play such a wrestling game. They are so much fun, and the gameplay is phenomenal. If it weren't for wrestling games, I sure know that I would not have survived the last gen of gaming, or even survived life for th...
"As home-theater fans know, HDMI it critical to 1080p performance, as there aren't any 1080p HDTVs capable of displaying a 1080p image from analog component video connections"
I've said it before, and I'll say it again (even though it really doesn't matter at this point anymore since both PS3 models will have HDMI). Some TVs can do 1080p over component, just not most. I really wish people would stop using definitive words like ALL and NONE when it simply isn't true ...
Maybe so, but your "artical" was also poorly written.
If you read my post, I said yeah it was $2500 but SO ARE SOME 720P TVS!!!!! I was simply saying that those people already going to spend $2500 on a 720p TV, they might as well be aware that they can get 1080p for that same price.
I'm in Buffalo and no one in Buffalo is a "richie." The cost of living is cheap here (like I can get a 1.5 million home here for 300K, but incomes are also the same way. A $40K job/year is like 120K/year elsewhere in the country.). So in my ...
In post 9, you said:
"And they want "MOST" consumers to know that they made a system for everyone. Not just the tech freaks which are small in number anyway."
Gee, thanks. I already had dork, nerd, dweeb, egghead, and now I have to add TECH FREAK? lol I figure that as an electrical engineer, I should have the latest technology :)
What I would also like to add to this thread is a great cable site:

If you will, please allow me to clear up some incorrect or misleading information on this thread.
First, though, I want to say what is right. TopGamer is correct in that if your TV is only capable of 1080i, then the best resolution you can attain is 1080i. 1080p feeds will do 1008i TVs no better than 1080i feeds will.
Onto the clarifications.
Hyperbear, you said:
"So it would be just as clear from that as of a 1080p tv. cause really there ar...
This is from Joystiq as well:
"Similar to the way the Xbox 360 upscales original Xbox games from 480p to 720p/1080i, you'll be able to enjoy your existing Xbox 360 games at the new resolution. As if you needed more proof that Microsoft's adoption of high definition HD-DVD is little more than a strategic move to limit Blu-ray's potential sphere of influence, Microsoft's 1080p software upgrade will also remove some of the value of their upcoming HD-DVD add-on by upscaling your e...
That's not true, Paul. I'm sorry but my TV can do 1080p over component. So although most cannot do it over component, it is ERRONEOUS to say that ALL CANNOT. If you don't believe me, here is the link to the specs of my TV:

Also, this news was posted earlier here by Donkey Slayer:
I will provide you with a link, but just think about it – why would Sony have to say specifically that the PS3 (hardware) will support HDMI 1.3? If the whole 1.3 thing is in the cable as you so claim, then wouldn't Sony just have to just say that the PS3 has HDMI in general? Yet they did because the 1.3 in on the hardware end. If it was just the cable, then all HDMI devices would support 1.3. Thus, it would be redundant to say that saying that any HDMI device supports 1.3 as they all do. ...
You said, " And DJ is at it again. When the 360 releases an hdmi or dvi cable/adapter....it will be 1.3 complaint."
I can surely say that you are wrong about DJ. I am positive that the 360 will be unable to support HDMI 1.3. How do I know this? Umm...the HDMI 1.3 specifications were announced AFTER the 360 was made. Only a hardware update will enable something to support HDMI 1.3 - not a firmware update. So, it is either that MS will be making a new 360 or everyo...
A little confusion over this whole 360 1080p thing...
Will the 360 be able to natively pass though 1080p? I mean, IF the article is true, then isn't the 360 update for 1080p useless? Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't every (almost every) 1080p upconvert the signal anyway? Also, the TV’s scaler (especially that of a 1080p TV) would almost certainly be better than the 360’s scaler. Anyway, I guess this would help DLP HDTV gaming lag on 1080p TVs regardless if this Sony comment...
Sony is a bigger company and has more money than MS.
Allow me to sum up my entire problem in one question:
Is the output on the 360 digital?
Sure it can do 1080p with an update, but that doesn't mean it will be able to output digital 1080p - just like the lower end PS3 can do 1080p over component analog. I know that the HDMI cable will come out but that does not guarantee that it will it be digital - just like a VGA-DVI adapter is not digital.
VGA is not digital, though.
See here for more information on VGA:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
The reason that cable is digital is because of the optical audio cable included with that.
First, I am pretty sire that the 360 can putput more signals than the PS3 because of the VGA connection option.
Second, I believe that the 360 is capable of 1080p with its ATI card, but I thought that the output was analog. According to TopGamer (he writes this below), that output is digital. But if it is, why would not there be a digital cable yet for it?
In the link that you provided, there is another link to go to the EbGames product page for the supposed HDMI cable. That page no longer exists on EBGames' site. That leads me to believe that the whole thing was a mistake.
As a side note, and please help me out here - how would the 360 even be able to have a HDMI in the first place when it does not have a HDMI output?

Then obviously you have not seen the PSP's interface since they are basically the same thing :)
I voted cool not because I liked what I saw (even though I did like some parts), but because it's good information on the system.
Onto the video. Although the interface is not as colorful as many people would like, I like how it is very simple and easy to navigate like on the PSP.
