"Felt" is good wording. Just like the first generation of PS3 games I didn't feel as they were genuine PS3 games (as I expected years before launch). Now certain PS3 exclusives start to feel like true PS3 games to me.

Not sure if Sony fixed this yet but at one time 720p games would not upconvert to 1080i. Some 1080i Tvs only take 1080i resolution for HD. This forced users to use 480p for the game and essentially let the TV upscale the SD output to HD. Add to this that some PS3 games aren't even 720p either. Examples: The Darkness is 560p. Pirates of the Caribbean is 960x720, GTA4 is 640p. (Native 720p on the 360) From using your requirements on the 360 to be not truly HD, at one time, we should also view the PS3 as not truly HD, at one time, too.

Really if you're going to add silliness and try to claim the 360 was not a true HD console, at least be consistent in your application.

High Definition video has an accepted definition of what it is. You can opine on how you think HDMI provides the best HD video experience if you want (which is generally accepted already anyway). But you don't get to change the definition of what HD video is just because you want to desperately get another dig in on the Xbox 360. Especially when you had to pay a premium to get HDMI at the time. Folks who consciously bought a 360 with no HDMI who view HD video output from it undeniably have a true HD system.
