what i dont get is, how can sony release a firmware that up converts all the ps2 games to whatever your hdtv can handle, yet the ps3 games doesnt?
im talking bout us early hdtv adopters.. my tv only displays 1080i and 480p....
so i get suckered into the dreaded downgraded 480p resolutions when playing motorstorm, resistance and heavenly sword
btw, MGS3: SnakeEater looks nice upconverted to hd

Sorry, but if your tv only "displays" 1080i (and isn't that resolution) then it's not HDTV.

OK after watching this, I am finally somewhat excited about Heavenly Sword. Anyone who was before now had no reason to be. But now that more info is coming, it looks pretty cool!

Most (all?) rear-projection CRT HDTV's are not HDTV's, and don't have resolutions of 1920x1080. They have a low native res and downscale 1080i to fit. So even if you're watching 1080i, it's not actually 1080i.

Games only run in progressive mode (60 Hz). So if you have a proper HDTV (1080p, 720p) games will run in HD. Otherwise, you will be stuck with 480i upconverted by the TV to 1080i.
But my point is, even 1080i on those old/cheap sets are upconverted anyway, so anyone who is complaining should just go buy a new TV if they don't like it.

Unless they decide to do a search. Then you pay tax, duty, and a $500 fine.

ugh this is retarded, my ps3 is mostly seeing action through blu ray movies and so far, no games has interest me
i already have ninja gaiden for xbox so i didnt feel like shelling out for the ps3 version
now i just feel like picking up any random game so i can use my ps3 with.. anyone going through the same process
hows heavenly sword? i read from reviews it isnt that great.. which is dissapointing considering all the hype
although im planning to pick up Warhawk... it looks like a good multiplayer game, i just hope its close enough to what Battlefield 2 is for the console version.... Best Buy is having it on sale for $40, including a blu tooth headset...

hahaha cs ftw!!!
u should look into Warhawk, EGM gave it a high score, saying its a good online game... 32 players........
but still aint no CS nor BF2142.....
but ya, i saw it on sale at Best Buy for $40 including the head set, Sony is also offering this as a full pledge game downloadable online from the PSN store
speaking of which, has anyone actually bought one of those small/independent/puzzle games from PSN?
i was thinking of buying Tekkn Dark Ressurection but fuck that when i actually have it for PSP....
but ya, most likely ill pick up Warhawk just for the kicks of it....

My PS3 has been collecting dust for the past couple weeks ever since I got the Wii modded 
Anyways, the only game I ever spend anytime on playing on the PS3 is Formula 1 Championship!!
If you like this game you've got to get the Logitech G25 steering wheel as it makes this game even better!!!
I just have to make a seat and column to mount the wheel to and then I'm all set!!

like bioshock last week for example.. didnt arrive in stores til thurs........ not tues
but then again, it doesnt hurt to call or check the stores...

i know this should go in the Wii thread but Metroid Corruption has been getting crazy reviews, like above 9/10s, 4.5/5 etc.....
but neways that convo can go on another thread
is there any games to look forward to this next couple of months until holidays? Assasins Creed is the only thing i know...
and thats a debate wether which console will be much better, on 360 or ps3...
Ya, im picking up Warhawk strictly for online
oh ya, btw, they announce that Gran Turismo 5 Prologue will be free on PSN, that should be good...... 50 cars and like 10 tracks
and it will be integrated with PS Home... which btw, will be released this october..... i just wonder how much space it will take up on the hard drive
has anyone else replaced the ps3 hard drive with a laptop hd?
