PS 3 Screen Tearing

[irrelevant]

I don't think it has anything to do with the tv. I just hope the game is optimized for the retail release. Either way, it's only mildly annoying (something I can live with) and I'll be getting the game for PS3.

A 60hrtz hd tv will experience tearing because the of the tv. The refresh rate isn't fast enough to keep up with the frame rate and graphics in the game and this can create tearing. Now whether or not this is the case I can't say. I know my last Tv was a 50 inch HD with a refresh rat of 60 hrtz and I had tearing on it while playing certian games. Now I have a 60 inch with 120 hrtz and the tearing is not in the those games anymore. There are a 1 or 2 games I still have some small tearing in and I would say they are in the game and not from the tv. It could be either. But your Tv could be making it worse.

I stand partially corrected. LOL.

Any idea why we would see it on the PS3 demo, while xbox'ers aren't seeing it at all?

Ok I just tore into my manual and my screen refreshes at 60hz. I hope it is the demo though because I have never seen any game that I have do screen tearing.

Last night I took the spit up above the clouds and pointed the nose into the blue sky so there was nothing on my screen and it still tore. It looks the worst when the camera centers back on the cockpit. The canopy is tearing.

I see this, as well. It happens the most in cockpit view.

I'm sorry guys but it REALLY isn't your tv! It is programming... To keep the framerate up it is either slowdown or tearing. I am a PS3 owner and i always get pissed by screen tearing. A good friend of mine explained it all with a lot of technical yabber, but trust me it is NOT your tv, it is your PS3! Better said programming for the PS3 is still a big challenge.
