SCEA Comments on PS3 Resolution on Older HDTVs Options

[mlmadmax]

I guess you could say it is merely a matter of switching but if it had a scaler it wouldn't be an issue to begin with. I also think it goes a little deeper than that, why would it not lower resolution to 1080i if it wasn't a resolution issue? Why go all the way down to 480p?

It really is annoying.

lol I edited my post after I realized what you were getting at. You want it upscale the 720P to 1080P instead of merely switching to 720P. Some folks have found the the PS3 has an odd way of deciding what resolution takes precedence, another issue to be woked on.

I can't believe all you people backing up sony over all this. I love my 360 but never back up ms when they do something wrong with it. I hate sony fanboys and ms fanboys. But sony fanboys are the worst, they would go out and buy a cement brick for $800 if it had a sony symbol on it and they would defend it to no end not even knowing what it's supposed to do, much like the ps3 which is supposed to be the next level of high def yet it only supports hd in 2 forms instead of the 3 standards. FUCK SONY

It does support 3 HD resolutions, it doesn't scale. Did you have anything else to add to this thread or just a diatribe on Sony fanboys and shout "FUCK SONY"?

It might be good customer relations for Sony to graciously support pseudo-HDTVs, but the blame justly lies with whoever manufactured and purchased TVs that don't conform to the HDTV spec (and apparently, Sony happens to be one of the offending manufacturerrs--but that has nothing to do with the Sony games division.)

That is all rubbish. So let me see if i understand you correctly: It's not sony's fault that their ps3 is having problems with crappy 'psuado HDTV'......psuado HDTV's of which sony made many of themselves?

Both their video game consoles and TV's are under the same division...'Home Entertainment'. So to say that it has "nothing to do with sony games division" is BS.

People need to be PATIENT there will be updates to the system, both to hardware and software. People seem to be giving the PS3 an extremely hard time, whether they've played it or not. It is an extremely impressive system when you actually see it running as it was intended. Owners of older hdtvs may have to wait to see it in all it's glory, but at least they still can play it. This was not the case for many early adopters for the Xbox 360. 4 of my friends purchased 360's on release. 3 of them spent at least a months waiting for microsoft to take it back and send a repaired one. One friend had to wait 3 months... It seems everyone who's criticizing the ps3 launch has forgotten what happened at the last major console launch.

How are they going to update the hardware?

How are they going to update the hardware?

Simple: they aren't.

Emotion engine, CGI-quality graphics, dual HDMI output, 7 controllers, gigabit ethernet hub, reality synthesizer, spring 2006.
What do all these have in common? They are all things that Sony hopes its fans will forget about.

Add this major screw-up to the list.

o.0 That has absolutely nothing to do with the statement. How many versions of the xbox were there? 10. Sony will tweak the hardware and make some changes to it in the future if need be. No console is ever perfect on launch. That's life.


The features which were removed from the e3 specs were useless. Someone came to their senses and realized there's no way in hell you need dual hdmi, or an intigrated gigabit hub. And the console does still support 7 controllers.. The power of this console is far from being utilized do not discount any claims on graphics/ai just yet.

None of the changes to the Xbox throughout its life modified its functionality.

I guarantee you, if Sony were to add a hardware scalar (accessible by the devs) it would break something else. That's just the way computers are.

Besides, how are they going to explain to early adopters that they need to go out and buy the PS3.1? Read up on those other forums -- plenty of the posters there are refusing to purchase PS3s as it is.
