OK, I don't want to sound like a total 360 fanboy, or make it sound like sour grapes that I'm not one of the few people in the world to actually own a Playstation 3. But this report from Ars Technica is a little puzzling. Basically, if your TV (like mine) can only do 1080i, even if you're connected via HDMI, the PS3 will not scale your DVDs or games up to 1080i... it will scale them down to 480p! I can kind of forgive the 360 for not scaling my DVDs, since it doesn't do HDMI for some inexplicable reason. But it's equally inexplicable that the PS3 won't scale.
It's looking like both companies are driving people to upgrade their "old" HDTVs. OK, twist my arm.
