And so as Sega walks up to the podium to accept the award for first 1080p Xbox 360 game, EA rushes the stange, tackles them to the ground, and bitch slaps them with a copy of NBA Street Homecourt. A day after about every gaming site on the planet (including us) lauded Virtua Tennis 3 as the 1080p pioneer we discover that the next iteration of the NBA Street franchise will also support ludicris rez, beating the Tennis game to stores by a month.

Would have been nice is EA had mentioned that feature a little earlier. I suppose they didn't think it a big deal until everyone started patting Sega on the back. As it stands I'm certain this will generate plenty of conspiracy theories about EA deciding to add it in order to one up the hedgehog factory. Still, good for them. Michael Fahey
