    No environmental, stats. Wasn't Nintendo classed as one of the most damaging to the environment due to the plastics they use?
    But then again thats not talking profts.

    this a very valid, and interesting topic. But I find that my biggest worry is how different a game can look on todays hd tvs. I have a samsung plasma 42", and withhin it it has various different settings from, sports to movie and game, as well as a optimal setting 'dynamic' which seems to push the tv to its best picture. But, what IS the best picture? In movie mode, a game's colours may look a bit satyurated, but in a nice way, when in game mode, the games looks a lot more vibrant, still very nice. In dymanic it looks all very nice, but since hd, I have noticed the jagged lines on the edge of all the objects on the game. I know its supposed to be clearer.
    In any case, I have then made my own custom settings, which actually look a lot better than most of the options without, having the tv at full potential, which wears it out. The main improvement i the sharpness, I have changed the sharpness to a very low setting, which means I dont get to see all the jagged lines on each polygon.
    Then again I can just go back to an SD tv, a lot smaller, but the colours and contrast seem more faithfull.
    Developers are obviously aware of this, but I would assume they use big hd tvs, to preview their games after tweaking it in a pc monitor.
    I would like to hear what game devs say about all this formats and changes in colours and contrasts, as each game seems to have its own brighness setting.
    I work with video editing and similar problems arise, so it would be inresting to have a few developers talking about these issues, whic I believe are a bit up in the air at the moment, with everyone believing they need to spend over £1000 for a good tv.
    By the way mine is just £450, and looks very nice, but then again I can only base that conclusion on what I have seen which is not much, I dont really have that many plasma tvs hanging around.

    Mine works fine, in fact looks very nice, all the dust particles in the background, pitty I have my own wall paper set.
    I have an old 60gb ps3, bought in the uk with 500gb of hdd, and works perfectly.
    Bit annoyed that sony seems to be leaving the subtle options menus for big banner menus.
    Hope the xmb doesnt become like a town market full of sales ads and places where sony believe you want to spend your money in.
    Two playstation store shortcuts? BIT MUCH
    Appart from that its nice they included BBC i-player on it, and a better internet browser, but this are all overdue, we need better organisational tools for the content we have stored on the ps3.
    I guess according to plan, this are just still the teenage years of the ps3, but come on we want to play more with our playstation.
