Hey guys, I need some help here. Mysterious blinking pixels are appearing when I play certain games. It appeared in GT5 (When there's animation, no blinking pixels visible when in loading screen, but when racing or anything that involves animation, the pixels appears), Sports Championship and LBP 1. I realize these 3 games were published by Sony Computer Entertainment, anything to do with them? The rest of the games by other publishers such as Racket Sports, FF13 and Need for Speed Shift does not appear to have the mysterious pixels. Oh and I am using an R3 PS3. http://img703.imageshack.us/i/pixel7.jpghttp://img828.imageshack.us/i/pixel8.jpghttp://img191.imageshack.us/i/pixelxt.jpgThank you for helping.

My TV is less than a week old, and if it is the TV's issue, shouldn't the issue occur in every game? And this issue has been going on even before I change the TV. Bugs the crap out of me.

And you would have seen Sony's HQ in Japan burnt down to ashes on yesterday's newspaper. Common sense tells you is the promoter wanting you to buy from him/her.
