the 1080p issue has been blown to bits.
we wont be seeing 1080p anytmie soon and definately not done properly.
cripes they cant even get their stupid HD DVD stories straight.

frankly after playing oblivion and as insanely choppy and as much slow down was in that game.. sh|t no way in hell the 360 can do 1080p.. not even,,

I am sure Microsoft planned for the system to handle 1080p. They are not that stupid. With a simple firmware upgrade it will do it. Only thing that upsets me about my 360 is no HDMI interface but that is fine. It is really hard to tell the difference between Component and HDMI. In some cases depending on the TV Component looks a hell of a lot better. All depends on the TVs.

I know the HD-DVD Addition is coming soon to the XBOX 360. And soo many great game titles to be releases as well. Bring on Project 8, Gears of War, Mass Effect...and so on...

This Christmas is going to be a big year for the consoles. All around...
