You keep repeating this, as if TV resolutions were amazingly high or
something.

I hope that's not what you mean, since only some TV sets are good
enough to handle 800x600.


The PSX2's specs sure seem impressive enough, though.  But I won't
make any assumptions as to its quality vs graphics cards for PCs until
the PSX2 is something more than marketingware.  (There really isn't
any point in comparing it with existing PC products; compare it with
other vapor-/marketingware.)
