I thought i'd bring up a problem that many PS3 owners, including myself, have with the PS3 and our HDTV'S. You see my tv is 1080i only, this means that I can't play a LOT of games in HD on my PS3 because they're 720. The PS3 lacks an internal scaler that would allow folks like me to play games in HD on my set, so its up to the developers. I know for a fact that Naughty Dog included 1080 support in Uncharted because of the gamers posting in the "dev boards" I myself have posted in the Killzone 2 dev boards about this very issue. I want to keep this short because you can find everything you need to know here.

This board is a great resource for gamers in this particular pickle. Included is "the list" of games that do/don't support 1080 as well as how to contact the developers. So if you are one of these people please join us, let Sony know that this is a problem they need to fix, that it won't go away no matter how hard they try.
*FYI, Sony had promised to fix this problem, but has done jack so far*

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Naughty Dog paid a lot of attention to the Official Playstation Blog.Thats the best place to get things across to Sony and the developers that post there.
sorry you bought a crappy tv, d00d
so this is a problem only on 4:3 480p/1080i tv right?
Try buying a TV made in the last decade, or just don't skimp and get old CRT HDTVs. Even then, if you shop around like any intelligent person would do, you can find CRTs that support/accept 720p, whether they display it natively, or scale it to 1080i internally.
You made a bad decision, deal with it, and quit crying. The game do 720p, your TV doesn't. Don't like it, go buy a 360.
1) You TV manufacturer - Selling a TV w/o a scaler that can take a 720 signal and upconvert to 1080 is a crappy deal by THEM. They probably left the scaler out to save money and sell the unit at a lower price... aka just like SONY.
2) You - It's your fault because you either didn't research the TV enough to know it didn't support 720. Or you are an early adopter. Early adopters take a risk. You knew that going in. Just like buying a HDDVD or Blu Ray player before the format war is decided. If you lay your money on the table in a poker game and lose it, that's your fault. You knew that was a chance and you accepted that and put your money down anyway.
3) Sony - They are to blame as well. They left the scaler out to probably save money on production costs. And early on they were charging $600 and still taking a loss on each PS3. So I can understand it.
You could try buying a external scaler ( very expensive last I checked), but hey you are probably an early adopter and you have the cash to spare :).
I just thought this blog post tries to lay all the blame at one persons feet when there are plenty of people to blame for it. Your TV company didn't put in a scaler and neither did Sony, but you are only yelling at Sony.
PS: I hope Sony fixes it for you.
