1080p is a resoultion of 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal pixels with progressive scanning.
1080i is a resoultion of 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal pixels with interlaced scanning.
Obviously 1080p is better than 1080i because of progressive scanning that will display every pixel of the highest-resolution HD broadcasts. Interlaced scanning only conveys the images. If you want to find out about more details, just google it.

PS3 was designed to play 1080p, whereas Xbox 360 didn't design to play 1080p, 360 actually was designed to play 1080i.
When 360 wasn't designed to play 1080p, they just added a patch when PS3 came out. The patch was to make it upscale to 1080p, that's it. Concluding that 360 will display 1080p nevertheless.

However, PS3 is kind of unsurpassed (not literally) in 1080p mode right now because there's no game that can run natively at 1080p, only 720p or less. Although, there will be PS3 games in the future that will run natively at 1080p. Concluding that those games will look better than 360 because like what I said, PS3 was designed to play only 1080p.

What's amazing is that PS3 CO4 isn't even 720p, only 660p and the game looks still awesome.
Seriously, all you have to do is post a picture that compares the two to get your point across, and comment on it. Here, I'll do it for you.



zOMG look AT tahT PiXeL oN Da L1t3POHST WiT dE TrE3SiSt33!!

j/k j/k... You make a very good point with the whole "No game can even come close to the graphic powah of the PS3" thing... I just think that you could easily shorten your explanations. In fact, just stating the whole "No game can even come close to the graphic powah of the PS3" thing could have sufficed.

Sorry, just a it irritated because seriously... unless you pause the game and stare very deeply at the pixels of your HDTV you won't notice too much of a difference. Especially since the game developers are going to alter how the game looks to best fit a certain console. Example given above in the image.

And the main difference between interlaced and progressive is how the pixels are shown. Basically, with interlaced if you were to look very closely, you would notice certain lines, whereas progressive can blend all that in. But there are some pretty bad things about 1080i, such as sometimes you'll notice a sort of flickering that doesn't happen with progressive. Ever have a fatty computer monitor and looked at it with a video camera? Kind of like that, just not as bad. But all in all, they'll most likely look just about the same so as long as you're standing/sitting at a good distance away from you TV.(Good distance = not so close that you burn eyes out by concentrating on a line of pixels on your TV)
