    Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part II

    The PS3 is a far more reliable system than the 360. Although there are a few on OS who had to exchange their system. So far the PS3 and the Wii are within the norm for breakdowns 3-5% whereas the 360 is in the 35-45% range.

      Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part II

      Has anyone heard at all whether or not Sony has any intentions on fixing the systems inability to upscale games to 1080i when the game wasnt created with it built in? Im sick of seeing games only support 480 and 720 thus forcing me to play it at 480i, which isnt even HD if you ask me. Is it a software or hardware problem? If the 360 can do it, why cant this beast of a machine do it? Everytime I defend the PS3 to someone I quickly get brought down to earth by problems like this. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

        Some games do scale to 1080i (Ninja Gaiden Sigma, GT: HD, College Hoops 2K7, NBA 2K7, etc.).


        Part of the January developer news, aside from Playstation Edge, was an article at beyond3d about the PS3's scaler. Basically, some games designed to upscale to 1080i (not natively 1080i, mind you) are horizontally scaled to some wacky resolution. According to the article, Sony hasn't shown developers (as of early 07) how to both horizontally and vertically scale a game that was developed to use the "scaler".


        So, that may make it seem like a software problem, but it's really just Sony's fault. 720p to 1080i upscaling isn't the only scaling issue with the PS3.

              I've only bought one, Superman Returns. They cost way too much, so I bought that one on ebay for $15. I did send in the form to get the 5 free Blu-Rays. I selected Invincible, The Italian Job, Blazing Saddles, The Transporter 2, and Stir of Echoes.

                I have purchased Casion Royale, 300, Goodfellas and Talladega nights. I just received the Invincible blu ray from blockbusters rental service today.

                  I have a ton, but you'd be hard pressed to find better picture quality than those on the Pirates movies and Casino Royale.

                    I just got back for best buy looking for more... I wanted to by distrubia but wanted to wait until I rent it on DVD....

                    Rocky I'd like to ask... do you see a subtle diff. in the way older Blu-ray movies look compared to the newer released movies on Blu-ray.... I found that Underworld was less sharp than Pirates..... I'm wondering if the older releases not filmed in HD don't come out as well.... or am I off the wall...?!?!?

                      Maybe a slight difference, but not that big of a difference. There will be a bigger disparity in PQ between the newer movies and the old movies (i.e. Full Metal Jacket, Christmas Vacation).

                        Can a PS3 lay the same as PS2, as opposed to standing up?
