Vincey37 said:The issue is not downscaling and interlacing from 1080p to 1080i, we know it can do that. The issue is upscaling from 720p to 1080i, which is seems incapable of, and is important for games which render in 720p.
For those speculating the problem is caused by HDMI, I can confirm Resistance will not run in 1080i over HDMI or component.
See, you know how to take the reservation, you just don't know how to hold the reservation and that's really the most important part of the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just take them.

Wario64 said:New firmware update? Or do you mean the update is already on the console?
If new, what features?
Jim said:But yeah, this is an official US Retail PS3, yet right now the network only allows you to select County: Japan, Language: Japanese when registering.
I want to know how Talladega Nights looks.Jim said:It's the 1.10 update... the same that all launch titles require (IGN ran down the features/fixes). Without that, you can't even sign up for an account. I just did the typical System Update as it prompted.

And yes, my system/location/time & date settings are correct
No press docs have stated it, but I'm pretty sure they don't want anyone poking around on the US network until Friday.
Can anyone else confirm?
Oh, and:
q*bert said:Interesting that it is acting just like the Japan units. I wonder if there are even any internal differences between them besides the cardboard box.

Damn, why bother with it, then? Might as well wait for the retail version. Still, at least Sony nailed the transfer...Jim said:Great! It's just strictly the movie, and not the Uncut version with all the extras due out next month, but the movie transfer looks excellent. No idea if it's double layer though, seems doubful since it's so stripped down.
EB/GameStop might be video game specialty stores, but as far as retail presence goes, they're just not big players in the industry. Huge names like Walmart, Best Buy, etc simply have more pull to get larger allocations from Sony.Dante said:How are EB's only getting 8 units and a random CC in Rockville MD getting 100?
That's crazy, but pretty awesome - good to hear that some EB/GS managers actually care about their honest customers.JB1981 said:Oh shit! I'm getting a PS3 after all! The manager here just called me ... said he saw guys on his reserve list camping at BB, which confirmed to him that they're just reselling their systems. They're now off his list and he bumped me up.

:lolBebpo said:Lol, wtf.
While I'm against resellers, how does he know for sure they weren't going to keep the EB order and they're not in line to keep friends company or what not. Seems really iffy.
Still, good news for you.

Wait, you're going to FAU? That's where I am at this very moment! I'd love to check out the nerds and mock them, but I have a paper to write and a Powerpoint project to work on, so maybe tomorrow...cleveridea said:saw 12 guys camping outside the circuit city near the FAU (glades road just east of 95)
half the people were under a big green tent eating pizza
Well, it sounds like everyone's getting Resistance, so... I'd hit it.Flo_Evans said:YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!
just got the call! Both me and my buddy are getting our PS3s!!!
w00t
now what crappy launch games to buy
Congrats. Personally I think resistance would be the obvious choice.Flo_Evans said:YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!

Like Best Buy, Circuit City picked several of their locations specifically to host midnight launches. Those are the locations getting a 100 or so PS3s...no other CC location is getting nearly as many.Dante said:How are EB's only getting 8 units and a random CC in Rockville MD getting 100?
Flo_Evans said:I don't want to bring out the fanbois, but resistance looks really MEH to me after putting so much time into gears. Maybe the 40 player multi will be awsome though.

mrklaw said:thats why if I get my PS3 and Gears this weekend, I'm playing the PS3 to get it out of my system first, then Gears afterwards.

Geezer said:What will I need to open a PS3 guys? I know it's a torx screwdriver, but I'm looking at them online and the local store has a set of "TX 05, TX06 &TX07", is this fine?
Jim said:They feel pretty different, from a gameplay and scale standpoint, but definitely play Resistance first... after you get the whole stop and pop style gameplay stuck in your head, it feels really weird to play a regular style FPS. I instinctively tried to take cover like that in Resistance already, hah.
Also, yeah, got confirmation from SCEA that the US PSN won't be live until at the very earliest, midnight of the 16th.
JB1981 said:Now that I'm guaranteed a PS3, I'm not sure I want it. I'll basically have to pay $700 to play Resistance. But I do want Motorstorm and I do want Heavenly Sword and Warhawk, etc ... hmmm.. I guess I'll just bite the bullet now and get it over with ... I don't see the price dropping BEFORE any of these games come out.

My brother accepted the package so his little mits get to open the system first. :lol

That's just ****ing classic. I hope the bastards don't get that system either. Scalping ****ers. I'm glad to see you are getting one JB. Did you keep that game that arrived to you early?
