It sucks that the PS3 version doesn't upconvert to 1080i/p. On the other hand, many 360 games say 1080p on the back, when all they really mean is that the 360 will upconvert to 1080p. Whether or not it's 1080p native is a different thing. Thanks!

Guitar Hero III has been added to the list under the heading of “GAMES THAT CURRENTLY DO NOT SUPPORT 1080i/p output”. For those of us that have older displays that don’t have inputs that accept 720p are stuck playing at 480p. The link for the game list is <a href="http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3&message.id=1543717#M1543717" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If you go to XBOX.com <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/g/guitarhero3legendsofrock/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, Guitar Hero III is listed as “HDTV 1080p”. I’ve seen the both the PS3 and XBOX game case and the PS3 version is marked as 720p while the XBOX version covers all resolutions to 1080p. Guitar Hero III is not so graphically intensive that it couldn’t have been developed to run at native 1080p on either platform.

There are a great number of people that have displays that don't accept 720p as an input resolution. So for myself, as well as a great number of others, we would be stuck playing at 480p. I'm not about to spend 100 bucks to play Guitar Hero III at last gen resolutions.

However, this probably has less to do with Activision and more to do with the dev teams and the programmers. The publisher makes high level business decisions, while the devs tend to influence which specific features and platforms get the most attention and polish. rjcc, you are being a little ridiculous. Sure, the 360 has had an edge in their implementation of several online features (voice chat, messaging, friends list, achievements), but there is nothing magical about the platform that makes it inherently more "robust" as you say. The issues that Henning is talking about are simply due to developer preference. Henning, you are being negative here, but this is a very good reason to do so.
