Sony: 1080p Still in the AirSummary:
Currently with only one game running at 1080p, Sony still boasts that HDMI and the PS3 is the source of a true HD experience. One developer, however, claims that reaching smooth frame rates at that resolution is "almost impossible."

Reaching good frame rates at 1080p with next-gen graphics is almost impossible."
--Anonymous developer to Kikizo
After the surprise upset last week that the high-end PS3 model will not be shipping with HDMI cables, SCEE spokesperson Jonathan Fargher clarified with Kikizo that Sony has modified the ICT to allow 1080p signals to bypass the HDMI requirements. This way you can view Blu-ray movies or PS3 games that permit a 1080p output.
The problem is there is only one game running at 1080p at the moment, which is Gran Turismo HD. And unless you're using the PS3 as a Blu-ray movie platform, according to Fargher, there won't be much 1080p content for awhile.
The reason for this is, an anonymous development source told Kikizo, "even with [final hardware] in mind, reaching good frame rates at 1080p with next-gen graphics is almost impossible."
