Sony has made a lot of "news" lately, but with the upcoming US launch of the PS3, those of you thinking of getting in line may want to read this bit first. Apparently, the PS3 lacks the ability to upscale its video output to 1080i. This means that games rendered in 720p, such as launch title Resistance: Fall of Man, are forced to run in 480p when displayed on a HDTV only capable of accepting a 1080i connection (as is the case with many early displays). By comparison, the Xbox 360 can scale its 720p rendered games, to 1080i or 1080p as need be, producing an HD image that is compatibile with most of the high definition televsions out there.
Daily Tech and IGN have information on the problem. So far, there has been no official word from Sony on this issue, or whether it will be resolved in the future. In the meanwhile, buyer beware! |
