Try resetting the video? (Hold down the power "button" while turning it on until it beeps and it will reset the video.)

You legend :D...well, it worked for about 20 seconds :P


 

Okay well let me ask a few things. Does the TV hook up through component or composite(some SDTV's have component ins for increased quality) Where are you from and where is your PS3 from? anything recently changed about your TV set up? New equipment possibly or did you plug it into a new outlet?

TV is hooked up through component, Im from the UK as is my PS3 and nothings changed recently, its just happenin with oblivion and GT5 prologue. Other lines appear on other games, but theyre pretty much unnoticable its just this flickering pissing me off.

The TV is around 5 years old now so im anticipating the PS3 is pushing it a little bit, its fine for everything else. Ill just wait for my new TV.


 

I'm gonna have to go with the fact that the games are made to display in higher resolutions as well. If it was happening to every game I'd tell you something is wrong in your TV and you'd be advised to solder it if you were comfortable with that. Seeing as it's only certain things I'm gonna have to go with the simple "It's just not made specifically to work on your TV" Sorry, it's a shame because a majority of people still use SDTV(though maybe not the core audience that typically buys game systems.) I can advise though if you've any speakers resting on next to or direction in front of your TV or PS3 you could try moving them, I doubt that'd be it seeing as again it's only on certain things but its worth a shot.

 Ah its fine; Ill just live with it until I order my new tv (tomorrow hopefully!), thanks for your help anyway mate!
