Microsoft on ps3s HD problem - can' t be fixed?? - Nov 28, 2006 10:32
Ok you heard the story regarding ps3 and older HD TVs that only output 480i/p and 1080i. the people at microsoft has had a dig at sonys problem and seem to indicate that the problem may not have a workable solution. There was reports that sony was working on a fix to the problem but apparently the have retraacted this statement.

Heres the Gamedaily Bizarticle -

While Sony initially told us that they are working on a fix (and still are apparently) that would come via a firmware patch, the company has since retracted its statement. Worse yet, it' s not clear if this problem even is fixable via a patch because the PS3 hardware would appear to lack the necessary scaler.



He continued, " This issue also affects people who have older HDTVs that only support 480i/480p and 1080i (not 720p - this was pretty common with earlier CRT HDTVs). These folks have no way to scale the game' s output to 1080i, and are thus forced to play in 480i/p. This smells of the console being rushed to market, and I' m not holding out any hopes for any significant fix
