Awhile ago I was browsing the net and ran into
this thread on Beyond 3D Forum. It seems very interesting, I recommend reading it to every Xbox360 and PS3 fanboy/troll/whatever. As we know, the HD starts with 720p, but many games aren't even rendered in that resolution, they are upscaled only. I think many gamers aren't too familiar with it, so I decided to post it here.
The most known example of not being HD is Halo 3, which runs in 1152x640 resolution. This fact was laughted at probably by every Sony fanboy out there, but they even don't know that not all PS3 games are truly HD also. Here's a few examples of native resolutions of current gen games:

After all this talk from MS and Sony about 'all games in HD' this seems really ridiculous. It seems we've been cheated on since the beginning :>
I wonder what you think of it.
