I honestly don't know enough about this type of stuff to back up what this guy is saying, but I believe it.

What he's saying is that the game renders at 640p and upscales in the console itself. He's done testing on grip of games, and found out that Perfect Dark Zero and Halo 3 actually render at 640p, and that most every other game renders at 720p (even if they support 1080p output). There were 2 exceptions being "Virtua Tennis 3" and "NBA Street" which did true 1080p. There were some others even worse, rendering at 600p. Those were Project Gotham 3, and Tomb Raider.
If it turns out to be true, It clears up a lot of questions I had about a consoles true ability to run games at 1080p. It just didn't click with me that performance wouldn't change going from 720p to 1080p.
On a side note: I still think Halo 3 is one of the most fun games I have ever played and I love my Xbox 360.
