It was discovered in a recent testing by IGN that Playstation 3 doesn’t have support for 1080i, a common High-Definition format used by HDTV’s. Despite 1080p being “the true definition of HD“, most of the titles available are rendered internally at 1280 x 720 and scaled up accordingly. However, on many older CRT HDTVs that only support 1080i input and not 720p, instead of scaling to the appropriate HD resolution, the PS3 goes back down to the EDTV standard of 480p. Just something to consider if you have already gone out and spent some serious dollars on a new high definition television set that you plan to use with your Sony Playstation 3 in hopes of acheiving your HD quality picture.
