Vrignaud has a PS3, blogs about HD problems |

It was just a while ago when we all agreed that Microsoft will definitely issue statements regarding its rival companies. And now here goes the mighty corporation again. This time, it's Xbox Live Director of Technical Strategy Andre Vrignaud's turn to comment on the apparent problems the PS3 is having with certain HDTV units."It appears there's no internal hardware scaler in the PS3. As reported, it appears the PS3 is unable to output a consistent signal to your TV based upon your desired selection," wrote Vrignaud in his Ozymandias blog. The official even claimed that he wanted to play Resistance in 1080i (He has a PS3?).
Unfortunately, the console drops down to a lower-common denominator of 480p, in case the game doesn't support it. Vrignaud continued that he was prompted to quit, go to the dashboard, change the PS3's resolution to 720p and then relaunch the game.
Also, according to Vrignaud, older HDTV doesn't support 720p, just 480i/480p and 1080i. So owners of the said units are forced to play in 480i/p because they are unable to scale the output to 1080i. "This smells of the console being rushed to market, and I'm not holding out any hopes for any significant fix. It's bad, and feels like something Sony would have fixed if possible," said Vrignaud.

I told you, there is no such thing as a perfect launch, they're gonna ***** up someway or another. Nintendo is the only perfectionist, unfortunately they're working with dated technology so it doesnt even matter.

for some odd reason... my PS3 wouldnt look right even after i made all the right selections....
My ps3 just wouldnt get to the same resolution my 360 would for the game.. and it ended up making the 360 look like it had better graphics...
hopefully this is just a bug that can be fixed..

and the browser will browse too lol
at least M$ cannot argue about the browser, they simply dont even have one

I kinda regret buying a PS3 since my TV will not go to 720p and the PS3 doesnt support 1080i. I have a 360 as well and right now its looking a whole lot better than my PS3. I dunno if I wanna sell it on eBay or not yet, but since Im having so many problems with it (choppy start up, controllers motion gets stuck sometimes when im playing, the whole 1080i problem, etc etc). I can definately tell you it wasnt worth the 600 bucks, and ever since I spent the money on it I cant help but feel ripped off. :(

i dont know if you do your homework or not but the 360 does not support 1080p through componet. ONLY VGA. this is common knowledge. I have a 1080p television. And yes the ps3 does have a vga adapter. And it gives "TRUE" 1080p through HDMI, VGA and component.my 360 only gives 1080p through vga i already ran the tests. and onmy tv if you hit the info button it tells you what resolution it is running in. for the ps3 the dashboard and a few launch games are in 1080p (NBA 07, marvel, i think ridge racer and another i cant remember the name of). All blu ray movies also run in 1080p (i have 14 of them) for the 360 no games only hd-dvd's run in 1080 p. and i also want you to realize that the signal first runs through usb, then to the system and the "VGA" cable (since it is the only way to get 1080p). hmmm i wonder if that signal loses a little something due to the traveling....

Hey, did you know that another console had the ability to use a browser before Sony's PS3? I think it was called the Dreamcast...
Coincidence? I think not. Ive decided to auction off my PS3, this thing is junk.

THIS JUST IN!!!
AS OF TODAY SONY HAS RELEASED A FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE PLAYSTATION 3 THAT NOW ALLOWS UPSCALLING AND SPEEDS UP THE BROWSER!!!
In light of this new discovery this whole thread is now obsolete. I wonder what microsoft will try to come up with next.
To sony: Good job on addressing this crucial issue and speadily i might add.
To PS3 owners: MAY WE ALL REJOICE!!!
To MIcrosoft Fanboys: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAH!!!!

But other than that and some game glitches, yeah, pretty perfect.
At this point, I own a 360, and a Wii, but when I want to play a extremely detailed game, like Gears of War, I go to my 360, if I want to have fun with some sports games or Legend of Zelda, I go to my Wii. Its a pretty good trade off. I got a TV that does Support 720p as well as 1080i and 480i/p. So PS3 would still support my TV.

why the f' do I want a virus riddiculed PS3 or Wii.
Its just another easy way to Brick any game console.

Showstopper, stfu and quit trying to force people to buy new tv's like they can drop $1.2k after they dropped a nasty amount of money for the PS3 or Xbox360. The 360 doesn't have a problem displaying a screen format if your TV is old, that is a serious problem. No matter if it needs a firmware upgrade, how come this problem slipped past Sony?
Reply
The 360 doesn't have a problem displaying a screen format even if your TV is old, if Sony cannot produce a signal that your TV can reconize, then we have a serious problem. Fix'd

Also there's some truth of what you said regarding Internet browsing. If you want to browse online, then PC is the best choice. But if you are already playing your PS3 online let say Resistance or NBA2K7...then you want to check your email or your posting on craigslist then its also convenient to do it in your PS3 rather than disconnecting your DSL and hook it up in your PC again (If you don't have a router just like me).
About the HDTV. Yes we did have a problem using one of the TVs that my friend bought. Because we are trying to use HDMI. It seems that some TVs doesn't accept it. But eventually SONY will fix this using a PATCH. So what we did is we use his SONY TV and played Resistance and NBA2K7 until 4:30AM during Thanksgiving. Even my friend wants to buy my used PS3 hahaha. He said that its way way better than his XBOX 360.

XBOX: Halo 3, Mass effect, Crackdown, Blue Dragon, Shadowrun
Wii: Mario 110, smash bros, kirby, yadda yadda yadda
PS3: Metal gear, Killzone, gran turismo, Devil may Cry, Final Fantasy, Jak, Ratchet, Silent Hill 5, Socom, Tekken, Soul Caliber 5, White Knight, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, Mercenaries 2 (exclusive I think), Unreal, Warhawk, Virtua Tennis, Virtua fighter 5... just to name a few
not to mention that 1st generation "rushed" ps3 games look comparable to 2nd generation 360 games. Not to mention games will be in "NATIVE RESOLUTION 1080p". With more disk space for bigger games and more info.
PLAYSTATION 3 FTW!!!

you guys are looking for reasons to bash the ps3 because you're insecure about having your $400 xbox go to waste if it loses. just leave it alone and see what happens within the next year. and stop comparing gears of war to ps3 LAUNCH titles. how are you going to compare a game that has been in development for close to 2 years to launch games? if you're gonna compare launch games, compare perfect dark zero or kameo to resistance and genji. and wtf are you guys talking about ps3 isn't selling? all you guys on microsoft's ***** go to a store and find a ps3 then. they aren't selling right? go find one.
ftw *****gots.

Also, You really can compare resistance to Gears of War. Do you guys even know what second generation game is???? It's when a same freaking developer releases a second game for a specific console. Gears of War was Epic's first game for the 360 and how can you say its not comparable. Epic Team had just as little experience as Insomniac team with the project. If Epic was to release another game today, then that would be considered second gen game, because they already have experience with the hardware provided. Also, if you guys knew this, but Gears and Resistance were in development for approximately same period of time... For some odd reason, all of you keep thinking that Resistance was a one-nigher project pulled off by Insomniac. Are you kidding me? Making games is harder than you think especially for a more complex system (Cell processor) and an original IP (Extra time for new ideas, storyline, engine, textures, maps, no recycled material) Gears of War was in development for 2 years and so was Resistance. Both are original IPs and no wonder took awhile to make.
If you still disagree with me then look at it this way. PS3 right. Originally announced to be launched in May. Ask yourself, would Resistance launch with the PS3 in May? or Still in November? If you said November then according to you people, all of the sudden it's not a launch title anymore. Maybe even a second gen.
What I'm really trying to get at here is that games cannot be considered second, third, Xth gen in terms of when it was released relative to its console's launch.
So maybe now you guys will use some logic before turning straight to flaming a crap out of people.
My Opinion since everyone is entitled to one so please don't flame it: I'll be dead honest with you about not having a PS3 and I won't cover up that I'm a 360 fanboy. But I played Resistance at my local BestBuy and graphically I found it inferior to Gears of War. Now, let me emphasize it again. This is my OPINION, so please don't argue with me, because someone else might think the exact opposite and I respect that. Just because something taste bad to me, doesn't me its bad...... because someone else might find it delicious.
I hope I got my point across. Oh yea kids, Don't do drugs, stays in school and get good grades :)

Vietone doesn't excactly like spammers. I've noticed that from the past 3-5 months. Just calm down.

Well, I couldn't understand your problem excactly, But 1.50 PSP's are kinda rare to come across, but still ok, you have the possiblity to down grade to 1.5 once again. But anyways, as you said "doesn't get show anymore, ahhhhhhh. " What does this mean? The UMD's that you buy want you to upgrade but you have all of your homebrew on 1.5? get 2.71se-c. Currently it can play all games *to my knowledge, I could be wrong though* can play 2.82 games, maybe 3.01 games, depending if it is using a certain codec in videos are using a brand new PRX file that cannot be found in D_A's 2.71SE-C.

And the guy who compared the PS3 to the gamecube; the gamecube had 3x the amount of high scoring titles than the xbox. Infact if the xbox didn't have Halo, you wouldn't be seeing a 360. so its safe to say stfu.

That is a unit that was rushed. With another year, Microsoft could have put in a, HD-DVD drive and use it with the games, a HDMI port, a quieter fan, and maybe built-in rechargeable batteries for the controller. And it could have given them a chance to put a hard drive into every unit. They would have dominated if they waited! But no, they wanted to be a year ahead of everyone!
Lets see to get a 360 up to par with PS3 capabilties:
Premium unit-$400
HD-DVD drive-$200
wi-fi adapter-$100
rechargeable pack for controller-$30
Memory card reader-$30
Bigger hard drive-N/A
Buying a laptop HD and building it yourself-$100
HDMI Cable-N/A
=$860
plus having a bunch of cords and ugly add-ons all over the place

» It's a big problem
Most HDTVs older than 15-18 months don't support 720p, so it's a big problem. If Sony doesn't have a hardware scaler, then they won't be able to upscale to 1080i."
you are aware the xbox360 doesnt have a dedicated upscaler eather?.
its all done on one of the PPC cores in software, as i suspect the ps3 will do to....
"veffremov
VC-1 AP has a feature, where the codec pictures are smaller size then the display size. Similar to non suqre pixels, but works to resize in both directions: vertical and horizontal.
For example you may encode 1920x1080 content as 1280x720, but set the display size to 1920x1080 - the decoder will resize internally to the display size.
The feature is designed for TV Broadcast scenarios, not terribly usefull for offline encoding.
Anyway we have a big perf hit if that feature is used. I hope we can adress this in feature updates."
incase that went over your head, notice how the 'decoder will resize internally' and 'we have a big perf hit if that feature is used' ,now thats because there is not a dedicated hardware scaler chip or even a simple PFGA reprogramable chip to do this re-scaling, sad as it is thats a fact than both platforms messed up on as they think its fine to do it in software to save a few ££.
i always advocate putting in a simple,cheap yet powerful PFGA type chip for this and other currently unthought of
options later, they dont want to to save money, and thats a shame......

i ment to say FPGA and this kilocore would have been a perfect fit in all the PPC based consoles today for instance.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/49772.html
" IBM, Rapport Unveil Energy-Wise Power Chip
IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Power.org member Rapport unveiled a new energy-efficient processor dubbed Kilocore that features more than 1,000 processing elements around a Power chip architecture. "

its too late now of course, but who knows if the next batch could have something retro fitted for a better long term future ?.
