PS3 queries. Please comment and views appreciated.....

Hi alll,

1. Whats the go with the PS3? As much as I like the look of it,( what's with
not including a component cable in the 60 Gb version?

2. Whats with the reddish colour on the main screen menu? It was Definately
black, when I first started it up, unless my eyes are seeing RED!!!

3. Whats the go with not being able to watch Blue Ray in 720P?, instead
defaults back to a crappy 480i, which is poorer quality than a normal dvd
player.?

Hmm? PLEASE tell me this. More Ques to come...........

Please reply direct to my email if you wish ..............


Cheers!!
Paully

Games in HD 720p, Trailer downloaded from playstation store are in HD
720p, but Blueray disc are in 480i !!! I have the same problem, like
anyone with a 720p hdready tv set I guess, this is a real shame.

What's the deal here with Sony ? Sony states that the PS3 is not only
a great game machine (which it is) but that the PS3 is also the
cheapest HD blueray player ... OK it reads Bluerays but show them in
low resolution SO NOT in HD at all !!! This is the opposite of the
marketing messages from SONY and must be corrected.

Cheers, ERic

1) Sony really should have included a hi-def cable. period.

2) the background colour changes based on the time of day.

3) the scaling can be a bitch. I have to check 1080i output (to a 720p
native set) or I get standard def movies. I'm using an hdmi cable though.
don't know how things behave across components.
