Can the playstation3 bluray play 720p?

yes and picture is great

psn id futbol8

1080i/1080p for blu rays otherwise its downscaled to standard def.

I only have 2 Blu-ray discs and if I try to play them at 720p it downscales to 480p.  So it's 1080i/p or standard definition.  I don't know why the guy above said Yes they do.guyhunter

is the 1080i picture Good? since thats basically the only choice then.

While it would have been better to do a search to see that this topic has been covered time and time again, it seems some bad information still crops up that needs fixing.

The PS3 cannot play Blu-ray discs at 720P. It plays them at 1080P, 1080i, 480P and 480i.

1080i is better for Blu-ray than 720P because Blu-ray media is usually 24 frames per second, meaning it is already displaying fewer frames than 1080i supports at 30fps, and 1080i is 1920x1080 instead of 1280x720.

720P is preferable to 1080i for games because of the ability to display 60fps rather than 30.

If your display supports both 720P and 1080i just activate both resolutions from System Settings, Blu-ray and 1080P games will play at 1080i and 720P games will display at 720P.

If you have a 1080i tv, it will just scale it to 1080i... Both PS3 and 360 have a scaler to adapt to each hd tv... Mine is 1080i too, so whatever I get is scaled to that format...It will look great anyway...
