engadget.com— Apparently if you're an early adopter with a 1080i TV you have more than HDMI - HDCP issues to worry about. You're stuck with 480p gaming too!

Thats not what this article is about...did you read it?Its saying if your TV is 1080i, The PS3 will downsample 720p games to 480p instead of upsampling to 1080i like it should...jesus half the whiners in these comments about the article being inaccurate are themselves inaccurate because you didnt bother to RTFA!
it's not inaccurate. Title: 'PS3 doesn't do 1080i"meaning of article: the PS3, when given a choice between 1080i and 480p, downsamples 720p to 480p instead of up to 1080i.therefore, it does not do 1080i. Headline is dead on. I'd like to point out, that this means that for most people (480i/p, and 1080i) it is equivalent to the Wii as far as resolution goes.
This is somewhat ironic: I own a 2yr Sony 42' LCD Rear Projector that can go as high as 1080i. If a game that delivers true 1080p, it will downscale to 480p not 1080i or 720p? Seriously, I'll never buy another tv just for not having 1080p.A Sony tv not being compatible with a Sony product is basically shooting themselves on a mobius strip.
This isn't sony screwing anybody, this is people who don't know what the difference between 1080i and 1080p is.I am sorry to say it, but if you bought a 1080i television, you are a moron, don't go blaming sony for making a system that doesn't support a crappy interlaced signal. Blame your own ignorance for slapping down a big chunk of cash for an interlaced TV.

where does it say this officially and not in just a tech blog? does it say this in the ps3 manual, ps3 website, etc?

It supports progressive scanning - 1080p is considered the better of the two.

Well, we already know they blow up rubik's cubes and make babies go insane.

This is innacurate, and it is a misleading title. This is a TV dependency issue. If you have a 1080i tv, PS3 does play to it. Buried as innacurate.
