TV Display Modes on 360/PS3

Post by Weekend_Warrior »

Because I still use a standard CRT television (w/Component) for my gaming, I sometimes like to play around with the tv display modes - Normal & Widescreen - on my Xbox 360 games. I've actually noticed that some games look better in Normal mode, while others may look and/or play better in Widescreen mode. And I'll even put stickers on the bottom right-hand corner of my 360 game cases to remind me of which display mode looks best; yellow sticker for Widescreen, green sticker for Normal.

So I'm wondering, is there a Normal/Widescreen mode toggle in the PS3 Home menu that I can play around with, too? :)

Yep, it's in the [Display Settings] menu.
