    How many Xbox games are below the 720p resolution?

    Project Gotham Racing 3, Halo 3 and I assume ODST are 640p.

    Alan Wake is 540p!

    Technically HD starts at 480p, so all 360 games are in HD just not all are in MS's designed claim at the start of the 360's life that all games are to be at least 720p. That list covers the ones I know off hand.

    At least the 360 has more games native at 720p than the PS3 has which is shocking. The PS3, for a console that was 1080p capable out of the box it was very few 1080p native games. Sice the 360 upscale 1080p update it has almost the same amount of 1080p games as the PS3 does now.

    The native screen res of a game does not bother me so much, so long as the game plays and looks well, I can get around some jaggies and a few low res textures.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but 480p is ED: Extended Definition. A term originally used when progressive DVD players were introduced, and retained with EDTVs capable of progressive scan images of 480p content.

    ...which makes me wonder, why do Sony claim their blu-ray discs offer superior game performance???? Lower res, also I've seen side-by-side comparisons and the majority of 360 games outperform their PS3 counterparts.

    Agreed, however if they're lying on the back of a case, I'm not impressed...!
