There's barely any 1080p tv sets available on the market, and the ones available are extremely expensive.
I don't even know if 1080p will be useful for tv shows, because most studios just upgraded to 720p, i don't think they'll throw everything for the 1080p.
Meaning, I doubt 1080p will be an intresting feature for tvs other than gaming. |
go look at a sony sxrd 50 or 60 inch lcos tv....
it makes HD look amazing |

there was onething i read that i think needs adding.
though it might be backwards compatible, it wont take any memory cards or past controllers. meaning saved games wont be loaded onto your ps3. |

| can't wait - it's shaping up to be something special - just don't pin any hopes on the scheduled release date. |

I'm a long time gamer (23 years now...and still new school ;) so I've been keeping track of 360/Playstation3/Revolution news. From what I've read on Gamespot.com & Maxconsole.net, here's the skinny:
BLU-Ray, DVD & CD support
~$400 @ launch
ps1/ps2/DIVx compatibility
look for it in October/Nov 2006
the support is massive both in the States & Japan
Launch titles: 30-50
Metal Gear Solid 4, Resident Evil 5, Tekken 6, Final Fantasy (more than one), Ridge Racer 6, Gran Turismo 5...
Not to mention all the games that are coming out for the PS2, as usual
I really like the Nintendo Revolution controller. It's extremely innovative. You point it at the screen and it tracks your movements. Could mean a whole new way of playing sports games, shooters, fighting and more. I'm not partial to any one system....but Micro$oft has pretty much blown it with the 360. Only chance they have now is to release an HD or BLU-Ray add-on before the PS3 hits. Then, they'll alienate all the existing gamers with a $100-$150 upgrade. We'll see. |

| I'm almost positive that Gran Turismo 5 won't see a launch release, Resident Evil 5 is a bit iffy as well. As for Final Fantasy games, FF12 is set for a PS2 release and I've heard nothing about any new FF game in the makes. |

| Well hopefully Vision GT is gonna look a whole lot better...so far the damn game just looks like regular GT4 with more then 6 cars on the track and having full pit crew. I just saw pics on the new Medal of Honor - Airborne. Shows alot of what the power of the PS3 could do on that game. |

wow
I take it you've never looked at one then....
cuz there is a difference, and in terms of broadcasts, its called upconverstion....which is standard in all HDTV's.
And the p which stands for progressive, is, in short, much better then i, which means interlaced....
And if you say that p isn't that much better then i, then why did progressive dvd(now standard) take over the market so fast? and virtually wipe out any interlaced DVD player....umm,cuz I'm willing to bet thats what you have now...
in terms up a 1080p boradcast you're right....probably never will be...but its the technolgy involved that makes the picture... |

divx player is a nice little add on, and true they are very cheap to get now but its a good feature to have just in case.
sort of like the fact PS2 can play audio cds. youd probably never use it but its nice to know its there. |
