I much prefer the XBox's implementation of telling the system of the best your TV can handle, and having it autonomously do it's best to meet that with the game you're playing.
Your knowledge of consoles >>>>> mine.
I'm a PC Gamer anyway. Consoles are cool, but limited in their functionality. Especially now, so late in their life cycle. They were much cooler when they were new and had better graphics/games than PCs. Currently PC games blow consoles out of the water. It should be cool when the PS3/XBox 2 come out, as they should once again have killer graphics and games, at least for the first year or so.
