Get your facts straight. PS3 is designed to support HD through progressive scan (480/720/1080p). However, PS3 can also support interlaced signals they just need a new firmware update. PS3 was designed to run on progressive scan, which is superior to interlaced, so this can be the reason why it cannot display the interlaced signals properly. Nevertheless, Xbox360 supports HD-DVDs and DVDs through 480p only if it is connected through component, 1080p movies will only be displayed through VGA. Not all TVs contain VGA inputs. PS3s problem can be fixed through a firmware upgrade, however, Xbox360s problem cannot be fixed when the HDCP kicks in.

"Porsche 911: Get your facts straight."
Dude, if you tell people to get their facts straight you might want to have them straight yourself!
The 360 HDDVD player can display all the way up to 1080i via component cables. The DVD drive also scales DVD up to 1080i.
Boom! Sit down.
