Ozymandias, of whom I am very jealous because he has obviously played Lego Star Wars II before release, has put together a great article about how 1080(x) resolutions, at least in this generation of HD/BR consoles, are output at essentially the same resolution, thereby negating Sony's claim of "true" HD-games and movies.
From Ozymandias:
"The PS3 has roughly the same pixel-pushing capabilities as the Xbox 360. Don't need to take my word for it, it'll be obvious soon enough over the next year. Even if this wasn't the case, consider we now live in a multi-platform development world, and that the current sweet spot developers are targeting is 720p due to the extremely similar system specifications. Simply put, a developer who is planning to release their game for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 will aim for a common attainable ground. In fact, I'll stick my neck out and predict that that you won't see any 1080"x" games for the PS3 this year."
Day by day the calendar turns toward my eventual HDTV purchase...
