It's only a matter of time

Geez, am I the only old fart who thinks that even $250 is a lot to pay for just a game console? At $400 I expect a keyboard and advanced porn-downloading capabilities in addition to gaming...

Assuming that games have the same resolution and image quality as an HD broadcast, which they don't.

1080p means nothing if the original source isn't very detailed. Game manufacturers often force several pixels adjacent to each other to be the same color. A game will never be as detailed as a real-life broadcast of an NBA player showing every little sweat bead and pore on his face. Why should they, it just hogs memory and slows things down.

well wouldn;t that depend on how much detail they want to put into a game.

also isn't most HD TV compressed to a certain degree.

having gone from cable HD to Fiber optic HD i saw an immediate diff.
