I was playing MW2 when I noticed the TV switching to 720p mode, reading the back of FIFA 10 I see it is also 720p. Are all next gen console games 720p?

Nope. For example, CoD4/WaW/MW2 are 1024x600.
But at least with these 3 games, they still look very good and run at a solid 60fps most of the time. I don't know of any other FPS that can manage this.

Thats right, so technically, its 600p.
But PS3 upscales to 720p or 1080p.

No stupid.
It can upscale to whatever it likes, it won't make it look better. It's not like a PC game where you set it to 1920x1080 and it looks so much more awesome than 1280x720.
Developers either choose high fps and sacrificing lots of special effects. Others choose the 30fps cap with the "goodies". Me? I prefer the constant smoothness of 60fps, changes the game completely for me.
Hopefully when the next gen consoles roll out 1280x720/4xAA/60fps will be the standard with a many big retail games also pushing out 1920x1080 native.
Hopefully... That was supposed to be the case with the CURRENT generation of consoles. Microsoft's initial stipulation was that games would be 1280x720p native. Then they ok'd Halo, which didn't meet the spec. Then developers started complaining. Then they relaxed the spec. Sony kind of just fell into it, matching them, rather than surpassing them. The PS3's RSX didn't help matters either :-/

So y is it that 99% of X-Box games run at full hd but only a few titles on PS3 run at full hd?
ZERO run at full HD. They APPEAR to be 1080p, but that's the Xenos doing the upscaling. In reality, the video is generated at much lower resolutions (sub 720p) before upscaling.

very interesting so all the games @ 720p but u can normally c the diffrence if u look at Final Fantasy 13 it doesnt look like its running at 720p
Actually, few games even run at 720p. They're generally upscaled to 720p and above from around 600p
The problem is that the Xenos, in all its awesomeness, has a framebuffer that just isn't enough to store 720p with anti-aliasing. Instead, the video needs to be generated at a lower resolution (with antialiasing), which is later upscaled to whatever resolution is required. It's not ideal, but it works, and the results are decent.
Developers are also using innovative techniques to make the video look better. In Tekken 6, you can see the difference obtained with their motion-blurring system; it looks great.

Whatever it be it still looks great and remember we still have the limitation to what the human eye can see.
Agreed...
If you want the best-of-the-best graphics, bite the bullet and get a PC.

I have a pc just thought PS3 and X-Box graphics would be way better.
Not a chance:
PS3:
3.2 GHz Cell Broadband (1 PPE + 7 SPE)
256 MB RAM + 256 MB Video
nVidia 550 MHz RSX GPU
XBox 360:
3.2 GHz Xenon (3 PPE)
512 MB RAM/Video
ATi 500 MHz Xenos GPU
Compared to current high-end PCs:
3.33 GHz Intel Core i7 980X (6 core)
6144 MB DDR3 RAM
nVidia GTX 295; each core clocked at 576 MHz, 2 x 896 MB RAM
There's really no competition.
Yes, the PC costs a LOT more. But it's the price you pay for high-end stuff. And even PCs priced similarly to the PS3 and XBox will have more raw performance.
But you can't play games like Gran Turismo, Forza, God of War, Gears of War, on PC

R12000 for the PC.
R2000 for the xbox.
R3500 for the ps3.
What R2000 pc will have "more raw performance" than an xbox360? PC's are outdated every 2 months anyhow lol

GT5: Prologue is native 1080p, 60FPS. There are a couple of others too which require you to deselect 720p and 1080i as display options on the PS3, like COD: MW2 and GTA4 that I know of before it will run in 1080p.

Also true will start saving now for a better pc lol. Only advantage is you can play any ps3 game without having to have the problem with your hardware isnt good enough ;-P
No it's not.
You're confusing "running at 1080p" with "displaying at 1080p"
Besides, GT5P doesn't even display the "standard" 1080p resolution; it shows 1280x1080 and 1440x1080.

G31MXP - Foxconn G31 motherboard : R381
Pentium 2.6 Dual Core E5300(800FSB 1MB) LGA 775Pin : R552
2GB DDRII-800 : R443
Geforce GTS 220 512MB : R637
Total so far: R2013. That kicks the crap out of an XBox 360 Arcade in "raw performance".
Didn't include a chassis and power supply?
Midi Tower Case + 300W PSU Black 2x Front USB : R192
Total = R2205.
Too much over R2000? Ok, swap the Geforce GTS 220 512MB for a Geforce GTS 210 512MB.
Now the total INCLUDING chassis and power supply comes to R2022.
