Owners of posh tellies will find a new reason to be collectively smug today, as Sony Computer entertainment confirms that it's looming PlayStation 3 console will support HGTV in the new gaming black that is 1080p.
In a survey issued to the PlayStation Underground community, SCE confirmed its plans: “The PlayStation®3 will include BluRay™, the high definition DVD technology, and support games in resolutions of up to 1080p, (the highest supported standard on the market.) Given that information, please choose the statement below that best describes you.”
Although high-end TV support for PlayStation 3 doesn't come as a surprise, the lack of confirmation has been a blight for fans, with Sony's reluctance to outline its intent seen as confirmation of a possible climb-down in the field. However, given Sony Consumer Electronics' invested interest in the market, nobody will really be surprised.
For reference, the full survey is reproduced below:

Answer a few quick questions about the upcoming High Definition generation, and we’ll enter you in a very cool drawing—one PlayStation® Underground™ member (chosen at random from our pool of responses) will win a PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system.
