If your TVs resolution isn't supported it's standard definition unfortunately.  Who knows if Sony even consider this an issue to fix.

ummm... really whatkinda tv do you have? like guyhunter said its probably SD not HD. What's the resolution that it doesn't support? Doesn't an hdtv have todo atleast720 to be considered HD?

only certain games would work..namely the ones that can be output in 1080i

i know for sure rsistence is 720p only making it unplayable at that res on your old crt hdtv..i think its time you bought a new tv mate,you can find a good one now for not much cash.

p.s. i heard they fixed this and im guessing its something to do with the scaler but i dont know for sure.

It has to be 720p to be part of the HD ready standard.. but some old Tv's did have 1080i only support which still makes it HD be it limited when it comes to games that only support 720p without knowing the make and model of his TV it would hard to say for sure what resolutions he would be able to use.
