> [@JoesTypeS](#): > > 1080p wont be outdated for a decade TV’s bought now will be outdated by the time 1080p becomes a true industry standard, i mean shit 720P is finally became a standard Just because the PS3 will be able to broadcast in 1080P does not the the data will be actually 1080P, not 480P upscaled, like most blu-ray and HDDVD. 1080P is a waste of money and will be for 5 years untill it is worked out and becomes an industry standard ---
