If Sony would nail down those two performance aspects for the PS3, and
with testing for confirmation, it could be the performance full meal
deal many are looking for.
My concern is that this capability is rumor...
1080P60 out of the PS3 is awesome but 1080P24 bypasses all processing
adding yet another small level of detail for those using very large screens.
