    I too was shocked how easy my PS3 setup.... however, I'm hard wired into the router... the only thing I was puzzled about was games that were supposed to display in 1080p were showing in 720p.... until some1 told me to change my PS3 output setting from 720p and 1080p to just strictly 1080p....

    now my games display in 1080p.....

      I have almost the same set....I have the 50".

          I believe The Show turned him over to the dark side.

            Yep, that was it. I was very unimpressed with MLB2K7 and the previews for MLB2K8 and have been impressed with The Show last year and this year. Since baseball is my favorite sport, it was time to move on.

              It appears you didn't use HDMI. That seems to be the big culprit since the handshake between certain TV's and HDMI devices has always been a problem.

              One of my older DVD players with HDMI won't work on my TV either. I got worried the PS3 wouldn't work until I saw posts on a few forums where it did work with my TV. I'm just glad I did get it to work.

                is there a way to check while you are playing a game what resolution it is in ?

                  Your tv should have some sort of "info" button that'll display what input it's on, what resolution, etc. That's how I check it out. I do know it changes when my tv flashes to no signal and then regains the signal as it's going into the game.

                    Yep just hit the Info button. On the PS3 almost all of the games will run at 720p, and movie will run at 1080p if your set supports it.

                      I haven't tried that. I will tonight though. I have all the resolutions set that my TV supports. So I just need to uncheck them all but 1080p huh? I'll give it a try.

                          exactly... I was getting real pissed for a month or so.... I thought that my PS3 wasn't upscaling to 1080p like it should.... since motor storm and heavenly sword displayed in 480p, set/checked my PS3 for all display setting figuring that it would adjust for the game being played.... but come to find out it displays 1080p games at 720p when you have 720 checked... so just/only check 1080p....

                          my Mitsu gives my a prompt of what the display is at when I play game or just watch TV.....

                            So I unchecked all the options except 1080p and 480p because it wouldn't let me deselect 480p. Then I put in Burnout Paradise which had been running at 720p and then it started playing at 480p! That did go in the direction I wanted, LOL! Are you able to deselect 480p from the display options?

                              You can't deselect 480p.... And I don't know of any EA games that play in 1080p (nether do I buy EA games).... the games I was referring to was APF2k8, NBA2K8, Uncharted and R&C these games were playing in 720p for me before I deslected all but 480p and 1080p....

                                Looks like the 120GB+ PS3 with rumble controller is all but official. Price tag will be $499 and should be announced at the GDC conference or around there.
