Say whatever you want, there is a difference, and as the lifespan of the new machines goes on, and as better HD sets become available, the visual gap will be visible and will widen between the Rev and PS3/XB360. The thought of PS3 spitting out 1080p makes me ejaculate uncontrollably.
I hope the PS3 offers DVI or HDMI outs. I'm pretty sure it will.
The Revolution offers DVI outputs, this is already confirmed. 480i and p is the lowest resolution of HD. 1080p (which isn't really available yet) is the highest and the difference is minimal; There is no such thing as "ED" this is a term created by companies to throw buzz words at you.
Just so everyone knows, the "p" means progressive scan, the "i" means interlaced. Pro scan means it's not drawing lines and you get a sharper picture though it looks like shit with certain film grains but looks fantastic with video games. Interlaced, in video games, will always give you 'ghost lines' no matter what the resolution is set at but usually looks nicer with true film content. No static drops like in DVD's where as soon as the pixels stop moving they become frozen. But who owns a film projector in their house. :D
