More info needed.
What games are you getting freezes? It might or might not be the game (some games are just so buggy that getting freezes frequently is normal), could be other reasons too.

Just tick these resolutions -

1080p
720p
480p (this is permanent)

Most games will automatically run in 720p, games which has support for 1080p will run in 1080p. There will be some instances where a game supports 1080p, but would play like crap on that resolution yet it still defaults to 1080p (GTA4 for example).
This is when you have to disable 1080p yourself manually and just run in 720p. It's stupid I know, blame Sony for not having an internal upscaler.

Thankfully, only a handfull of games does this.

Im not sure,,but i cant see any difference between 720p and 1080p , 1080i

And ps3 was auto set 1080p ..bcAuse everytime i on ps3 it shows hdmi num 1,2 or 3 and the reso which is written 1080p but iinm xbox was auto set as 720p

Im using panasonic tv .. 50inch..plasma i think

Hurm nvm not a big problem,, it only looks slightly better,but its not that noticeable

Didn't play BF3 on the PS3, so I can't say much on this. Ask the players on the BF3 thread.

As for the PS3's HDD, yes you get a bigger capacity HDD. How? Read first page, info is all there.

Just to share....

I had same problems with my PS3 too. But the game was GT5.
Ended up replacing the HDD with 500GB and then cleaned the lens (DIY)...
Now it's working like new again.... thumbup.gif

If memory serves, around RM160.
I wanted to get SSD at first, but the price was too high for my budget. sweat.gif
Plus, I wasn't really sure if SATA 3 SSD would work on my PS3.

i got a 500GB hdd in june and now 120GB remains. playstation+ foc games and game demo/videos take up lots of space.

and about 10% of your hdd space is lost to ps3 formatting (not sure if correct term).

more and more new games are being released digitally on launch so recommend you to get 750GB or 1TB biggrin.gif

If the game has an online code and the first user uses it then the buyer has to buy the code from psn. if the game doesn't have an online code then no issues for the buyer, buy and play
