Some people have complained that their graphics have not been as sharp as they would have liked. Also, there are reports that the game is booting at 720p as opposed to the full 1080p. Here is a tip from talkplaystation which helps you how to remedy this.
Go to to the display option under settings
Select video output settings
Select HDMI
Select custom
Untick 1080i and 720p
Press X
Press X again
Select finish
Launch game
Please note that you need a 1080p HDTV in the 40″ range and preferably connected via HDMI.
Want to use those new DivX features on your PS3 and Xbox 360? The folks over at FF-XIII.net have ripped the new Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailers from the CLOUD DVD and encoded them with DivX at 1080p.

These things look crazy good. Hopefully both games make it for 2008, but somehow I doubt it. We’ll see as the year goes on. Fire these up on a console near you and bask in the HD glory.

Yeah. Read that title again, according to PS3Fanboy, PlayFrance has revealed evidence that Wipeout, the insanely fast F-Zero type racing game will be in 1080p, the highest resolution available now. On top of that, it will run at the full 60 FPS. Okay, now you have my attention. The interview is here and written in French, so I can’t read it, but it does confirm that this is true. Could this be the apex of graphical achievement that the PS3 says it can handle. Let’s all hope so and eyes will be watching for the first video.
So, it official. God Of War 3’s release has been confirmed for the Playstation 3 for 2009.
No real details as of yet. Only that it supports 1080p, Sixaxis and rumble.
Details beyond those will be announced when available.
This is going to be the reason I get a PS3. Not even joking.
Durka.
NBA 08 is the follow up to the PS3 first party launch title, NBA 07. The game looks to build upon what was started last year to take the game to the next level. But too many features were left out to bring it there. The game is pretty, but needs some depth to really compete in the basketball game market. Here is a breakdown of some of the facets of NBA 08 for the PS3:
Presentation and Graphics: NBA 08 runs at a blistering 60fps at full 1080p. Not many games can claim that honor, but Sony has made sure their NBA line looks top notch. There are, however, some clipping issues which prevent the graphics from being the best they can be. The details in the arenas and crowd this year are a huge step up, as are the player and uniform details. The game presents some really cool replays, but these seem vary sparse and only after a big dunk. I would have liked to have seem these occur more often, say with a big crossover to nice steal. The camera seems to stay too far away from the action, not giving you enough opportunity to find that tight passing line into the low post. 4 of 5

In case you didn’t know, 300, one of the better “guy” movies around, came out today on DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. I picked up the Blu-Ray version so I could take advantage of the Linear PCM audio.
I think I’ve soiled myself a couple times already. The video quality is great at 1080p, even through the film’s gritty look. The sound is pretty outstanding. I’ve jumped a couple of times at some of the sounds in the movie.
I can see myself watching this a lot….
Sony sent over a retail copy of Hot Shots Tennis for the PS2 for us to review. I got to play a good bit the past few days, and the game is very solid.
I gave my impressions of the demo a little over a week ago, and many of the same things apply to the final code of the game. The game has a fairly deep career mode, where you play through against opponents to level up and unlock new characters, stages, costumes, and various other power-ups.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 is a thing of beauty. The game runs at a constant 60fps at 1080p, which looks beyond amazing. The characters, environments, and animations are all insanely crisp.
The game is as hard as ever. It builds upon Ninja Gaiden Black and adds a bit of difficulty to it. Of particular note, there’s no difficulty settings in Sigma. You start a game, you get one option: hard as hell. Compared to the Xbox version, there’s more enemies in a few new places, which adds a some frustrations if you’re running low on health.
The loading times are literally non-existent in Sigma once you install the game to the hard drive. When you first load the game, there is an Install option on the menu… do it. It takes a little over 10 minutes and uses around 3GB of hard disk space, but what it adds is priceless. I can’t even tell you how pissed the Xbox version made me when I had to watch a book scroll by twice waiting for a level to load. I honestly expected that here, and was pleasantly surprised to not have that loading time.
Overall, the game is well worth it, even if you’re already played through the Xbox version. Expect a full review coming soon.
Sony today dropped some gems on us. A new PS3 firmware update is coming, making it to version 1.80.
SCEE announced today in London that the new firmware update, available May 24th, will include DVD and PS1/PS2 upscaling up to 1080p, as well as media streaming from PCs on your LAN.
All I can say is HOLY SHIT. Sony just threw everything they had in the ring and brought it hard. I can’t wait to try out these new features tomorrow.
Stay tuned as a full changelog is released.
There’s a new update available for the HD-DVD addon drive for the Xbox 360 today. Most notably, it improves compatibility with newer titles that are using advanced copy protection schemes, such as Digital Video Essentials, which didn’t play in the 360 drive until today.
You can now also select 2 channel linear PCM as an audio output option if you’re using the Elite. Great, but why give up surround sound for a movie so you can hear crystal clear sound from only 2 speakers?
