The problem is that the PS3 doesn't have a scaler chip in it at all, so if you have an older HDTV that only supports 1080i (and not 720p), then you'll be playing a lot of games in 480p. This is still a problem for all PS3 games that only support 720p as the PS3 cannot scale the resolution.
A few games natively render in either 720p or 1080i, and a some games offer 1080i support where they render in a strange resolution such as 960x1080 and then stretch that to 1920x1080 using pixel ratios. That's a very poor man's scaling, though, so it will look a little jagged.
