The Hobbit was released in Blu-Ray 720p and because of 48 frames per second it now claims to be sharper than 1080p at 24 frames per second. So does this mean full high definition will be redefined as 720p?

The Blu-ray version of The Hobbit is 1080/24p. As near as I can tell, everything on the 5-disc Blu-Ray/Blu-Ray 3D/DVD combo pack is all 1080/24p for the blu-rays, and 480/24p for the DVD. I can't find any reference to 720p at all.

I googled "hobbit 720p60" and got a wall of links to torrents claiming to be BDrips at 720p60, so, go figure...
Then at the end of that list of torrents there was a note by google saying they had removed ONE search result because of a DMCA infringement, so, again, go figure...
That was one weird search-result page

There's no way to do 48 fps on Blu-ray (not natively, and no pulldown scheme would let you do it smoothly over-60), so it would be silly to do it in anything but 1080/24.

I did find a 48 fps version of the Hobbit. It is called Uber High Definition and the resolution is 1280x534p. The problem is that this edition is created from motion interpolation from a 1080p 24 fps source. So this is not the real deal.
It's also not legal -- nor is it within the Blu-ray spec.
Never mind that "uber" high definition would have to be considerably higher in resolution for the term to be anything other than the pirated nonsense that it is.

So to clarify: the original post is utter nonsense, The Hobbit was not released in 720p, nor was it released in any manner of high frame rate.
