PS3 Scales 1080i To 480p On HDTVs

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday November 16, 2006 @06:58AM from the when-it-rains-it-pours dept.

Dr. Eggman writes "According to an article from IGN, PS3 owners are finding that 1080i-only HDTV sets are scaling down launch games to 480p. The scale-down occurs because the launch games do not support 1080i, however they should be scaling down to an HD resolution of 720 instead of 480p. It is unknown if this is a technical or software issue and if it can be patched soon." ABC news is reporting that a patch which should be available to PS3 owners soon will correct the backward compatibility issues we discussed the other day.

...the problems that plauge all consoles at launch. I really hope the PS3 makes it...While I preferred Xbox over the PS2, there were some PS2 games that were AMAZING (Ico, Katamari Damacy, God of War, FF series, etc.) I hope all three consoles do fantastic, and I plan on eventually owning all three.
