You will finally be able to experience all 60 frames per second of visuals that your 1080p HDTV can provide. Unfortunately there has been no HDMI cable yet announced so this is only over component and VGA. Even better, users can expect 1080p upscaling immediately on current games and DVDs while native 1080p on compatible HD DVD titles.
This does not make me want to run out any buy a 1080p TV, but at least we will have the capability. I’d quicker appreciate an HDMI cable. What I find interesting though, is that this 1080p capability will be added via a simple console software update. If that’s the case, I have to wonder why it hasn’t provided support from the beginning?
