I actually did note that.. That's a perk of the Gold membership.

GTA4 is a playstation franchise. Why isn't Forza2 out in HD for ps3? Same difference.
[edit] Wait, did you mean gran turismo or grand theft auto? Sorry, that little A snuck past me, lol. If you meant Grand Theft Auto then the explanation is simple... Sony backed out on all the additional content and are trying to cover lost ground by making a game like that HD. Will the graphics still be overhauled on the 360? Of course.. I personally haven't read anything relating to this whole development because I've been pretty out of the loop for the past few weeks. Do you care to share a link?
Thanks.

Fair enough. I honestly doubt it will happen since most of the companies are switching to microsoft because microsoft is willing to spend money to pay them. Sony is still lagging in sales (extreme understatement) so they won't invest for all the "bells and whistles" if you will.. That's why microsoft is getting the jump on everything now.

That's a backwards argument.. It means that Microsoft completed the task first and more efficiently.. It means that Playstation made a mistake when they chose a technology that was limited by the production of a single plant in the world. Bluray lenses were (and might still be) made only in one place in the world which couldn't keep up with the demand that sony had. That's why the release date was pushed back so many times. Matter of fact, does anyone remember when the ps3 was first announced? It was originally rumored to be released around the same time as the 360. Who made it to that deadline.

You misunderstood me. I wasn't saying that it had to be played in 1080p, I said to use it to its full potential it would have to be played in 1080p.. At 720p you're at the same resolution as the cheaper competitor with more games and free warranty.

Some HD tv's are, but 1080p is still the highest priced and that's what you'll need to put the ps3 to use to an extent that makes it better than a 360.

The reason that games are still being made for the ps2 isn't because the technology is still current, it's because there are no games to sell for the ps3. Original xbox games were still being made too until the selection of games got to a point that they could cover the costs of their gaming division based off of the 360 alone.
Which, if you wanted to use the argument that the ps2's technology is still current then you would definitely have to say that the original xbox's technology is still current. It had better graphics, smoother gameplay (with most games), and faster load times than a ps2.. That's what made me go from being a playstation fanboi (which I had been since the ps1 came out) to just enjoying playing video games and getting the best bang for my buck, which I personally feel comes out of the 360 hands down.
