I really don't understand what that means
i know that 1080i doesnt show a complete new frame every second and that progessive does

When interlaced only half the lines are drawn at a time. It halves the amount of data required. If you fix the data rate, then there will be more bandwidth availible for colors. This results in the better coloring you mentioned in your original post.

Okay so if I'm right about the colours (i can clearly see that right now) then why is everyone banging on about progessive scan? is there like a pro that is reduces blur (i doubles checked and the blur reducation isn't much) and the con that the colours are more bland making it look more lifeless?
Rebs:
I believe the increase in overall visual quality with 1080i over 1080p in your case, is solely due to specific hardware and system limitations.
To produce a full frame each refresh (progressive [1080p]), is understandably more work than to produce, what sums up to be half a frame per refresh (interlaced [1080i]. So with 1080i there is a greater potential for extra effects than with 1080p.
In other words, the game developers may have decided to lower the quality of certain rendering settings when the game is forced to run on 1080p, in an attempt to maintain system stability and smooth performance. The same way one may have to lower shadow quality on a pc game, when trying to run it at a high resolution. Again, here it will depend on you system and the software.
Note: This is more of a simple way I would explain this to myself. I do not own a xbox 360 or any gaming console (I'm an pc-gamer 8)). This explanation just seems logical to me.

it makes sense, but what your saying is, xbox 360 can't handle 1080p right? because it's not only the game quality it's the xbox dashboard (xbox menu)
