Gotta say, though, I'm more excited about HD coming up in the next-generation of game consoles.

I saw a demonstration of this "Gran Turismo" game, on a Playstation2 on an HDTV.

I was fairly stunned. I hadn't realized just how far they've come (and the Playstation2 has been out for a few years, if I'm not mistaken).

Gran Turismo 4. It's alright, but Polyphony Digital (the game's creator) did some tricks regarding it. Officially, GT4 has a 1080i mode. In actuality, that mode is available only in races (not in menu screens or anything else), and it's only an upscaled 480p.

None of the current consoles have the power necessary to output good-looking games at anything above 480p.

The upcoming Xbox2's launch titles will be a pretty good demonstration of what HD can do--Microsoft is requiring every developer to support 720p and 5.1 Dolby Digital sound.
