This will be incredible if true. It's almost too good to be true, as there are hardly any 1080p capable displays on the market (this is sure to change in the next couple of years) and all of the demos displayed in the video were running at 720p. As it stands, I will most definitely buy a PS3 at launch.

Cool. More of a reason to get an SED or 1080p Plasma/DLP when they're available.

It will be scalable to whatever you plug it in to...1080p will just be available for every game if you have the ability to use it. So if you only have 1080i you will be fine.

According to this site, what we are looking at today is the $300 model...
We will see...

Did you notice this part of the PS3 specs in the press release??
Sounds like it will have a resize filter just like the X360....

It makes sense. I bet the GPU has gobs of 1080p. Maybe renders everything internally at 1080p native and then downsamples. So you get "supersampling" for anything lower? Just a guess. Not like you need AA at 1080p either. Man, it just gets better and better. I hope there's only one version for $300, and that it does all this stuff standard. PEACE.
1080p is great, HDMI is great, but come on. Most HD sets for the next three or four years will be 720p/1080i and there are currently like, three available. Reading this post would make you think that everyone on GAF had already bought one.
As screen prices come down, the tech is not going to go up at an appreciable rate. Plasma and LCD screens will get cheaper as yields get better - that's the main metric. And there won't be any CRT 1080p sets for obvious reasons.
The defacto standard for this gen of TV is 720p/1080i, so get used to it. But for the wealthy, 1080p is BITCHIN.
PS, is there any reason the 360 can't output 1080p?

Isn't 1080p limited to 30fps display?

This can only result in better looking 3rd party games.
Compared to the crap we trudged through this generation, I welcome the chang3.

I am talking about full frames, not fields (interlace). I thought that was a limitation on 1080p display or something. Perhaps I heard it wrong.
In any case, I highly doubt that most titles would display that resolution natively...if you had a display that had that native resolution anyway. I figure the standard natively rendered mode will be 720p.

MS will be standardizing every game on 360 for 720p.
Therefore, MS is doing all of Sony's legwork for them when the ports come around.
It's kind of funny that MS is blasting at the top of their lungs about the HD era, and how it will be revolutionary and they're going to usher in an amazing new experience to games, and then their console has a lower display resolution standard and doesn't even play HD movies, which their competitor does. 
The title to this thread is just misleading ... all they said is that it would be supported in the hardware as a standard resolution, which may or may not end up getting used for anything more than super-high def TetrisAndy787 said:It's kind of funny that MS is blasting at the top of their lungs about the HD era, and how it will be revolutionary and they're going to usher in an amazing new experience to games, and then their console has a lower display resolution standard and doesn't even play HD movies, which their competitor does.
Jeez, some of you make me want to puke you're so naive. If you think every PS3 game is going to be running in 1080p, I'll eat my fucking shoes. Stop being such assholes. I'm excited about the PS3, but I know pretty damn well that Bluray and 1080p are going to be barely utilized for most of this console's life.

Okay mom. It's pretty easy to get pissed off when people are being asses about something they barely seem to understand. Just more dick waving, which this forum has had enough of in the last 24 hours.

No argument here.
Izzy said:
Right. Do you think all PS3 games will be in 1080p by default? Hey, I'd love to see it even though I doubt I'll own a 1080p set (just bought a 720p/1080i two months ago), but like I mentioned above, 720p games are still a rarity in 2005. Now everything will be 1080p? Hell of a jump. Again, I'd love to see it.

I wouldn't be surprised if many were, Sony has had this odd fixation with targeting 1080p for sometime. Every iteration of their graphic subsystem has targetted this, which is somewhat smart as most of the CE industry will be moving towards supporting 1080p as DLP, LCD and LCOS scale downward, why support anything less? For them the components scale like how Intel increases preformance when moving from 150 to 130nm and 90nm, it's just not worth it to stick with less.
