Loot Ninja writes that his high-def television won't play nice with his Playstation 3's Blu-Ray player.
Many games made for 1080p won't scale properly to 1080i, and sometimes 720p. I'm having a huge issue with Blu-Ray movies. It shows as 1080i (even though I have my HDTV setup as 720p in the Media Bar), but it's very grainy and looks like standard DVD.
I personally haven't had this issue, though for some reason the PS3 keeps telling me that 720p resolution is better than 1080i, which in some cases I guess is true.
Loot Ninja says he called Sony support twice and on the second, more helpful, call he was told that a firmware update would be coming in the new couple of dates to address this issue.
OK, so what's the firmware score now?
Wii: Two
PS3: One, soon to be two.
And of course there will be Wii updates for the news and weather channels and PS3 updates for backward compatibility issues. Welcome to the next-gen friends, it's all about unfinished products and micro-transactions.
