why it might not work

What type of connection do you have your tv hooked up to the PS3? I had componet cables and some games didn't work in 1080p like you are talking about but once I started using HDMI cable it worked fine.

Check your tv settings

Check your tv settings. Make sure your tv is setup for 1080p input.

1080P support...

At this time most the released ps3 titles don't support 1080P. As the ps3 ages though you will see more and more 1080P titles.

1080p

I'm sure your 1080p HDTV is upconverting the 720p signal to 1080p anyway...so who cares?

Must change display settings

by ckami13 - 2/2/08 4:11 PM In reply to: Ps3 doesnt play games in full hd 1080p by chris12334

I've had the same problem. Go into the settings menu in your XMB. Under display settings, choose HDMI which you are using. Instead of using "automatic" for the display settings, choose "custom". ONLY check 1080p. If you check 720p and 1080p, then the PS3 will play your game in 720p. It defaults to the lower resolution for some reason. You will have to go back and check the 720p box if you play a different game that does not support 1080p though.

Hope that helps.

Can't play 1080p games in 1080p resolution

by QuakePlayer - 5/8/08 6:47 AM In reply to: Does not work by chris12334

When i go to the XMB Settings/Display Settings/Video Output Settings/Select a setting method/Custom option, then 480p option is ALWAYS selected. I can't change it. Then I tried to select only the 1080p option and move on to the right but the screen goes blank and comes back to the "Select All Resolutions tha are supported by your TV" screen. Same happens if i select 1080p and hit the square button to test the resolution. If I select the 720p and 1080i resolutions everything works just fine. Another note: when I play some blu-ray movie, the screen resolution automatically goes to 1080/24p, which is a resolution Sony Bravia TVs provide for watching movies. My TV set is a Sony Bravia 46 FullHD (KLV46W300A). My PS3 software was updated to version 2.30.

1080P

by theoperater - 11/29/08 3:38 PM In reply to: Can't play 1080p games in 1080p resolution by QuakePlayer

I have the same problem. When I go to settings to change the res. 480 is permanently selected. I can check 1080P but when I move to the next screen everything goes dark. My PS3 is connected to a Sony KDL46XBR6. I use HDMI cables. 1080P res was working fine 1 week ago, I turned it on the screen was black and I had to reset the res. Now its seemingly stuck at 480! Argh!

by jonnnnf - 12/10/08 1:05 PM In reply to: Stuck on 480p :( by ulty_dude

When the ps3 is turned off with the red light still on, press and hold the on button. keep holding it until it beeps the second time. around 6 seconds or more. it will reset your resolution settings. i hope this hellps, reply if this works
