interlaced signals are no good for sports or scenes with fast moving frames. I hope BBC do F1 in 720p, It's logical they will be, I mean what better way of advertising that you won F1 back, after selling it down the river all them years ago...

PS3 had these in it's first year:

Motorstorm
Resistance
Oblivion
Ridge Racer 7
Ratchet and Clank Tools Of Destruction
Unchartered Drakes Fortune
Unreal Tournement 3
Singstar
Guitar Hero3

Pretty much everything upto Gears sucks badly on 360. You seems to have erased that painful time out (conviently), and make yourself more comfortable by pretending the PS3 is also in the sucky games boat. Sorry to tell you, it's not...
Typical Xbox imbecile.. Can't even count..

"Xbox 360 has 3 SKUs.."

Xbox Core
Xbox Arcade
Xbox Premium
Xbox Elite.

Here's a helper, Thats FOUR (4) so far.

Hoever, we also have:

Premium with HDMI
Core with HDMI
Acade with HDMI

That's SEVEN (7)

Don't forget the 20GB Halo3 edition (8).

@Nfinity

I know it's hard to understand being a simpleton, but you realise that the 360 had no games also in it's first year.

Here is a handy helper, for when you have trouble:

IF A CONSOLE IS RUSHED OUT A YEAR EARLIER IT WILL:

A) BE UNRELIABLE
B) BE CUT DOWN
C) HAVE MORE GAMES OUT BY THE TIMER PROPERLY DEVELOPED SYSTEMS ARRIVE

Hope that helps.
@Nfinity What changes would those be then? Every PS3 plays PS3 games identically, infact they all play Blu-ray movies identically.

For the record, Microsoft have more SKU's than another other console, and swap more important stuff (lack of HDD in Core/Arcade anyone???, or the useless non standard HD DVD drive???)
What good times would those be? The jet engine noise? I can't believe there were actually 300,000 people stupid enough to buy one..

Scrub that, there were 16,000,000 people stupid enough to buy Xbox360, despite the well publicised problems and money gouging at every oppertunity.,..
Nobody wants another format war so soon after the last one. Let HD-VMD die, and lets all embrace Blu-Ray.

PS. HD DVD fanboys, it's no use supporting HD-VMD, as you lost out to Blu-ray already, and this is an even weaker offering.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"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!"
