At least, the PS3 cures cancer and will end global warming (wait, the latter will be made by pastafarian pirates).

To be honest, 1080p is a way overhyped feature. It's useless for movies, because a good 1080p display will deinterlace properly the 1080i signal and the displayed image will be exactly what it would have been with a 1080p connection. Games is another business, but I don't see many games running natively in 1080p/60 on either platform anyway.

And come on, 720p is already absolutely stunning. If your screen isn't multiplex-theater sized, most people wouldn't see the difference...

"It's useless for movies, because a good 1080p display will deinterlace properly the 1080i signal"

So what you are saying is, that 1080p is in fact useful, if the display does not properly deinterlace the 1080i signal?
