When I unpacked my new PlayStation 3 I got a bit worried after skimming through the user guide. In the section about video resolutions I found the rather confusing paragraph in the tips section below.
With a new high-definition plasma only supporting 720p and 1080i this was no funny read. I had already ordered a bluray movie when I saw this, and bluray playback was one of the reasons I wanted a ps3 at this time.
However, the movie arrived on friday and it worked perfectly. The image quality is AWESOME even though my TV set doesn't support full HD at 1080p. This movie is one of those that doesn't have region protection so I had no problem playing it even though I have a US PS3. With bluray it is up to the publisher to decide if the want to region code the movie or not, so look out for region coded movies if your buying from amazon or whatnot.
