Xbox 360 has a scaler chip and Playstation 3 just doesn't.
Who cares? You should, cause without one the Xbox wouldn't be doing 1080 anything. Her name is Ana, and I'll explain why she is so important.
The Nerd Stash: “The PS3 marked a turning point in the industry, and among the sea of popular titles came the rare games that are worth more now than ever.”
I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
I'd say power and disc space to allow games to be native 1080p are better then upscaling anyday. I think the above 2 things were Microsoft's mistake
and i know that i might get some disagrees but when i play a game in 1080p by disabling 720p such as uncharted or cod4 i only see about an 3% or so of better visuals.. and that is in a 52" 1080p samsung.. so imo it's not that important, but i definitely wouldn't mind if all games got upscaled... i mean 3 -5% better is still an improvement right
but it does suck for the people with older tvs that only have 1080i..
sony should definitely add it.. being that it can upscale ps2 games i don't know what's the problem
Seeing as PS3 games are looking just as good as Xbox 360 games I'd say it wasn't a big deal.
as i said another ps3 game that runs at 560p rez what a joke .
The Ps3 can display 1080p natively, that is why it doesn't require a UPSCALER. Lazy development can't be justified by a device that can upscale the image. In fact, the ANA chip should be considered a FLAW if anything, it simply means the Xbox 360 can't do certain things "natively" so it needs to fake it.
Oh, and keep in mind the Ps3 can if needed easily upscale images to 1080p. The Cell upscales DVDs / Ps2 and Ps3 games to higher resolutions.
If you disagree explain why, or don't click that link. Thanks. :D
