SXRD and PS3 True HD 1080p Capability
Here's another brilliant Sony interview for orphaned SXRD owners:
"Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Phil Harrison has claimed that Microsoft's Xbox 360 "doesn't have true HD functionality," saying that consumers seeking a HD experience will have to wait for the PS3 to arrive.
Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz this week, in an interview to be published tomorrow, Harrison described the Xbox 360 as "a lot better than their [Microsoft's] first introduction to the console business," but questioned the console's claim to being a High Definition device.
"The true definition of HD is the three elements of the HD value chain - the display, the content and the hardware to play back that content," he explained, "and PlayStation and Sony is the only organisation that has all three bits of the value chain together."
"As you well know," he continued, "the Xbox 360 doesn't play high definition movies and doesn't have true HD functionality - PlayStation 3 is the only format
that has 1080-progressive, which is the true definition of HD, so it's really premature to be talking about the HD era."
"The HD era really only starts when we are on the market," he concluded.
Harrison's comments refer to the fact that the PlayStation 3 is the only next-gen console which will support the top end of the HD standard, the 1080p resolution, and also the only device which will be able to play high definition movie content, thanks to its support for Blu-Ray discs.
"High definition as far as the consumer is concerned means high definition movies, which means Blu-Ray disc, and that is the reason that people will buy high definition displays coupled with a player that is capable of playing movies and games - which is obviously PlayStation 3," he claimed."

The irony is that Sony's PS3 will generate real, true 1080p signals that their current "SOTA" SXRD display cannot accept. This Sony executive thinks he is attacking only Microsofts Xbox 360, but he is unwittingly attacking other deficient Sony display products, namely SXRD. Sony does NOT currently have all three parts of the puzzle, as he claims.
This stupidity is very funny if you are not an SXRD owner.

I just hate the marketing words, like True HD?? Full HD?? Ultra HD?? The GP usually falls for it cause they don't know squat about HD.. HD is 720p/1080i/1080p Unless 720p/1080i is partial HD?? If thats the case I'm upset that My Sony A10 isn't 'true' HD & will sue them for claiming my 720p is HD..

Marketing guys are a hoot. Just for the record,
1080i = true HD
720p = true HD
1080p = true HD
The XBOX 360 does output HD games in an HD format. Furthermore, all games on the 360 require HD resolution support. As of today, it is still unclear how many of the PS3 games will support 720p or 1080i, let alone 1080p.
Sony's strategy with the PS3 right now is a simple (and very common) one: They are trying to keep everyone from buying an XBOX360 until they can get to market. Anything that Sony says about XBOX360 has that solitary goal right now. All is fair in love and war, I guess.
As far as the SXRD goes, it certainly does support "true" HD.
Of course, there is a discrepancy between the 1080p output offered by PS3 and the 1080i max input supported by the SXRD, but that's been well documented, on perhaps three million threads (no exaggeration -- okay, maybe a little) around here. We certainly don't need another thread to talk about it again. Let's just revive one of the old tired ass threads if we're going to have this talk again.
P.S.
EDIT: The below santized for the sake of civility. Plus, it's a joke.
Only my TV supports "true" HD. All of your TVs support "lame" HD.
1080i = true HD
720p = true HD
1080p = true HD

It has been postulated the SXRD's can accept 1080p -- via firewire. So, if the PS3 outputs 1080p through firewire, I guess all three elements are covered.

Seems to me Microsoft is doing their best to help Sony along, as no one can get a 360 anyway!!
Also, my dealer told me that there might be a future 1080P modification or software upgrade for the SXRD RPTVs. I dunno if that's just spin, but really it doesn't particularly matter to me. 1080i or 720P upconverted by the Sony to a displayed 1080P is stunning.

The samples I've seen suffer from substantial amounts of over color saturation, soft focus and mis-convergence. I also connected a laptop to two samples (using the VGA port) at 1280*1024 60Hz resolution and found the text quality to be mediocre at best. Otherwise, I agree with you.
