  Ouch, Farrell. Parts of your 'report' are directly lifted from the Tweaktown article. Can't you be bothered to even write your own crap these days?

  1080p at 60fp/s is that it? may aswel go backwords because the PS3 can already do that at 120fp/s..?
  
  Nice work MS your going to get blown away by Sony... and no doubt Intel aswel.

  Show me a game on the PS3 that's 1080p at 120fps? Retard! Also it's just saying that the next Xbox will be capable of running ALL games at AT LEAST 1080p 60fps and in 3D.

  no console renders at 1080p.
  
  " Like GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption on the PS3 appears to be internally rendering at a lower resolution--some think 1152 x 640, or GTA IV's PS3 resolution--after which it's being software upscaled to 1280 x 720, or 720p, with quincunx anti-aliasing applied to smooth things over. That's compared to the Xbox 360 version, which runs natively at 720p, isn't being software upscaled, and employs 2x multisample anti-aliasing."

  No doubt INTEL will resume BRIBING and COERCING OEMs and RETAILERS not to sell AMD products.
  
  Banks - no regulation
  Oil Drillers - no regulation
  Monopolies - no regulation
  
  We live in great times. The super-rich can do pretty much whatever they want. Intel can bribe/coerce whoever they want.
  
  No wonder income disparity is at an all-time high in America.

  Word on the street? The original site just made this up and you're quoting it third hand...

  no... "Guest" is correct. The PS3 is capable of full 1080p at 120 frames per second. So you sir are the retard. It uses the "Cell Broadband Engine" making this possible.
  
  I would recommend research as he/She did not say a game but rather the system was capable.

  anyone who actually thinks anything has a 120 fps is nieve, bluray technology actually runs at 29 fps its really a shade more but thats it. The lcd tvs claim 120 hz and 240 hz but the actual outcome isnt so simple. Any feed and i mean any feed from cable satilite dvd xbox ps3 anything that you can plug into a tv runs at 60hz period nothing more and nothing less or there wont be an image. Now frame rates can vary from signal and support by the manufacturer but in the end they have to pick something that is universal so 60 hz frequency is standard frame rates can go anywhere from 29fps to 60 fps. Now the manufacturers that say their tvs do 120 or 240hz do so on screen, the problem is going back to the signal feed being 60 hz so you have either 2 or 4 times the frequecy of standard feed with 120 or 240 so the tv takes it and reproduces or blends the missing feed to give it a more fluid look albeit sometimes unnatural look but definately smoother. Now 3D open up higer frequency feeds because you nee it to be higher 3D is currently the ONLY time that you will actually naitively use 120 or 240 hz because of the way the image is produced and runs a 29 fps. So recap fps is not to be confused by refresh rate aka hz, broadcasted signals come in at 60 hz component feeds also come in at 60 hz except for blu ray and ONLY on 3D with it go to 120 hz and typically wont do 1080p while watching 3D feed (tv feeds that are in 3D are the same as blu ray)
