Uncharted 2 is currently the best example, but in due time I think the true potential will be revealed even more.

Component input is a fixed standard, HMDI has gone through some revisions. Both can display the HD standard which is 720p. If the PS3 is such a "pure HD" console, why even offer composite output on it. They should just drop that to save money and fulfill your ego as the faux "real HD" console.

High-definition video or HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280×720 pixels (720p) or 1920×1080 pixels (1080i/1080p).

Xbox 360 has always supported the above. Therefore it is obviously a real HD console.

As for the "standards" of connections on an HDTV, HDTVs normally have a number of different video connections.

And so this is simple PS3 fanboy FUD, a regular staple of Mike's posts.

Lets also keep in mind the obvious, that as a more expensive console the PS3 damn well had to have the digital connection capability built in.

Thanks for the FUD. Of course the 360 came with standard HD connections, on day 1 and doesn't need Blu-Ray to play HD content.

PS3 says we love us some HD that's why we included composite wires. Now pay extra for an HD cable. Of course the 360 has now followed suit by not including HD cables. Though the market's price for HD wires is ~1/5th of what it was when the PS3 launched.
