As reported from Eurogamer, Jefferies has stated that the reason for the drop is due to TV manufacturers such as Sony, Samsung, LG and Philips equipping 720p LCD TVs with resolutions of 1366×768 rather than true 1280×720. What this means is that the image will be upscaled no matter what, using TV hardware.

In relation to the Xbox 360, developers such as Black Rock Studios are no longer required to stick to the 720p requirement, meaning they can add more graphical features such as extra anti-aliasing by using a slightly lower resolution.

Jefferies added: “Now we are free to make the trade-off between resolution and image quality as we see fit,”

• We also saw some new photo and video gear from Panasonic. The company’s betting quite a bit on the future of cinema being in 3D, and we think that’s a good bet to make.

• Nokia’s World Conference, also in Germany, was the venue for the debut of a pair of new high-end music phones, the X6 and the X3. Nokia’s phones usually have boring names, but we’re glad they’re now naming them after experimental aircraft. Go, Nokia, go.

• Logitech’s new Wi-Fi radio is an improvement on its already awesome lineup and includes Flickr integration, which, while pointless, is rather cool. I want one.

• The PS3 and the Xbox 360 have finally–finally–bested the Wii from Nintendo in U.S. sales. It was a tough road to get to the top, but they made it. Welcome to the big league, guys.

What can we say, except awww?

• Just when I was sick of Auto-Tune and the millions of songs that abuse it, and just when I thought it was going away, T-Pain brings an app to the iPhone that Auto-Tunes everything. Thanks, Shor-tay. Thanks a lot.

• These robot sculptures are adorable and I wish they were real and I had one as a pet. I would name him “Clanky.” Or “Josh.”

• Oh, and there was some stuff going around about theiPhone getting MMS or something. I may have missed it.

The Sony PSP 4.05 firmware update will be coming any day now and we have been informed by Sony’s blog to expect new visualizers for music playback.

Many Playstation Portable gamers got excited when they said “and other features”, while this could mean a million things, some gamers are hoping for one of the features that the PS3 received in the last update.

The PS3’s XrossMediaBar has opened the doors for many more features to be expanded on that technology, PSP owners are hoping for in-game access to the cross media bar just like the PS3 now has.

While you cannot change every setting with XMB while playing a game, but you still get quick one click access to other options without having to leave the game and then select them.

The Sony PSP and PS3 have always been closely linked, so it seems natural that the PSP will get this feature soon and most likely in this next 4.05 update.

What other features would you like to see in PSP firmware 4.05? We would like improved Internet radio and the flash plug-ins for the web browser updated. We will update you when PSP 4.05 Firmware has been released.
