[QUOTE="smbhax, post: 103327, member: 396"] 720p and 1080p are names of screen resolutions that the PS3 can potentially run in, if your display device supports them. 720p means a screen of 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels high; 1080p indicates a screen of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. The "p" part stands for "Progressive Scan," which means that the display is drawing every line; this is in counterpoint "Interlaced" modes (720i, 1080i, etc) which older display devices used to simulate a higher resolution they couldn't actually draw by just drawing half the lines at a time. Since your ball is not jumping over the rope in Champion Pub, and this only occurs at resolutions other than 1080p, then your display device is *not* running in 1080p. If it's widescreen, it's probably running in 1080i or 720p. How to play in a different resolution: ***Keep in mind this could in theory make it so you can't see your screen anymore so only mess with this if you know what you're doing!*** (In your case, Heinz, this probably won't do much for you, because by default the PS3 runs at the highest resolution--up to 1080p, anyway--that your screen supports. So you will most likely find that 1080p is not an option it will list for you.) In the PS3 XMB (ie the Cross Media Bar, the "desktop" of the PS3, if you will), you go to "Display Settings," and in the setup, choose "Custom." Then you can uncheck the resolutions you don't want to run. Pinball Arcade will try to run in 1080p (that is a screen of 1920 x 1080 pixels) if your display device is capable of it, but if you disable that as an available resolution in the Display Settings setup, the game will have to make do with one of the lower resolutions. For instance, my 1080p projector can also run in 1080i, 720p, and 480p--these aren't its native resolution, so they look blurry, in addition to being chunkier of course since they use larger, fewer pixels. But if I want to run Pinball Arcade in 720p, say, then before starting up the game, I go into the custom display setup in the PS3's XMB, and uncheck 1080p and 1080i. That leaves 720p and 480p. I complete the setup, the PS3 display switches to 720p, then I run the game, and it runs at 720p, because the display options I selected for the PS3 are telling the game that the 1080 resolutions are not available to it. After I quit the game, I go back into the Display Options setup and run the Automatic configuration to re-enable 1080p so I can do other things on the PS3 in my screen's proper resolution.
