doesn't the 360 and ps3 allow 1080p via component for gaming? i know it won't upscale dvd's and play back hd dvd/blu-ray via component at 1080p, but i believe gaming is possible.... if your tv supports it!
Yeah it does, although some TV's don't like a 1080p signal coming over the components. I have two Sammy tv's, and while my LCD has no problems with it, my DLP goes all goofy when I try to feed it a 1080p signal. According to the specs, both sets are using the same signal processor chip, but one works and one doesn't. Go fig.
It really annoys the crap out of me that I can't upscale dvd's over the components on my 360 even though I know it has a scaler built in. This is just a big F-U to early adopters who drank the HD koolaid too soon and missed out on the rest of the party. And as others have said, there are so many easier ways of ripping HD content then using the analog signal. Linux already has more then a few programs out to do just that, and unlike MS, Apple, etc, Hollywood can't lock that down. They can kill one prog, but an hour later a new version from someone else will find it's way to the net.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"

Yes it does. My 360 is outputting games at 1080p over component to my 42" Westy. (only 1080i for HD-DVDs)
