Playstation 3 Details

This sucks, it looks like the PS3 won't come out here in the USA till later 2006 and most games will only support 720p resolution.

With gaming being an obvious part of Sony's format, PSM states most titles will run at a standard 720p visual resolution for High Definition TVs (HDTV). Although it still supports 1080i and 1080p high-definition modes, it's known that a majority of HDTVs do not yet support such a scale yet. Further to this, Sony wishes to allow players to drop the resolution to 480p (progressive scan) or 480i (the standard regular TVs currently use), if they so wish, leaving an option for users who do not have HDTVs. Sony's PlayStation 3 will be released in Japan next spring, with a launch in the West following later in 2006
