the problem with the comparison, is no one has yet gotten the 1080 out of the xbox, one of the magazines I read tried it and using tests could only muster a 720p. That is also kind of a minor issue anyway as the scalers in both are cheap, and need bypassed anyway, and if watching on a set smaller than 46 inches and farther than 6 feet away you can't see the difference 99% of the time. Another issue with teh xbox is xbox live sucks. I am on another forum where 5 out of 10 people in a thread have had their accounts wiped clean (aka all saved game data erased)
