No... 1080i is interlaced. And 1080p is godawful costly both in money and in console power use.

there's people who'd buy a solid gold xb360 faceplate for 36,000 USD, deepblue, so money is only an issue for those who can't afford it.
besides, most modern HD sets are getting cheaper all the time.

I have seen some people say that there are very few TVs with true 1080p support and that most TVs that advertise 1080p have a 1920x1080 panel but inferior input circuitry that will downsample a 1080p input and upsample it back.

You're assuming people are smart?

Ugh. Fine, be stuck in your rut.

Of buying sensibly priced, entertaining and innovative games and not pissing away money on overly flash electronics that will go down in price vastly in 12 months and offers no really discernable improvement in any case? 

Sure.

You haven't SEEN any games yet. How can you  make that judgement?

Tell me what games I haven't seen, in capitals or otherwise? (because I honestly don't have a bloody clue what you're on about here)

I was referring to the Revolution.

Who said anything about the Revolution?  I didn't.  Actually, I was more thinking of picking up a Gamecube on the cheap, getting a DS when it's reduced to clear way for the 'lite' version, or buying cheaper PC games like (this being the latest consideration) Galactic Civillisations 2 which seem to have a focus on game over graphics.  Or simply not buying any next-gen consoles.

I believe I effectively said the 360 and (by extension) PS3 in that post are a waste of money at present and lack any interesting innovations such as gameplay.  And you took that to infer it meaning something regarding the Revolution (so you excluded it from the non-innovative, flashy-flashy trend of consoles).  Interesting.

Also I would note it applied to HD-TV, given that there's no real support for it (in the UK) bar some channels on Sky that seem to require additional payment.
