He said, she said.

The she, in this case, is 1UP's hirsute Luke Smith, who took time out of poking around the hairy nest of his mustache for a stray piece of week old scrambled egg to au contraire an initial Gamepro report that Splinter Cell: Double Agent supported 1080p.

When we asked Ubisoft for clarification, company reps told us: "It's 1080i." Even if Double Agent supported 1080p right now — and it doesn't — there aren't any retail Xbox 360s that would support the feature. That update hasn't been released, yet.

Oh, but allow Gamepro to retort:

No word yet on whether it's an update on the game disc or a forthcoming Xbox Live download, but Ubisoft has confirmed 1080p support to us.

So who's got their head up their ass here? Probably the same guy with his head up Sam Kennedy's. Florian Eckhardt
