superchunk said: I was initially expecting issues similar to PS2 or 360, however, I have been pleasently surprised at what seems to be a really solid hardware from Sony. I would say buy it without much worry. The only issue I have seen noted were to do with older HDTV's that only had 1080i (ie no 720/1080p) resolution capabilities where the initial PS3 would downgrade the picture to 480p, or Standard Def. But, if I'm not mistaken Sony fixed that issue with a firmware upgrade. If you got the $$ and want Sony games go for it.
As far as I know, they still haven't fixed that. The HDTV in my living room is a projection model and whenever my brother hooks his PS3 up to it. Resistance runs in 480p. CRT and Projection HDTV's only do 480p/1080i in my experience. Games that are coded to run in 720p down scale to 480p on these units. Sony did fix the scaling issue with Blu-Ray movies though.
