Either you need to set it so your TV only plays the games in 1080, by simply checking only the 1080 box in display options on XMB. Or the game doesnt support 1080..

A lot of ps3 games don't play in 1080p. Look at the back of the box to see if it does. =)

thats because the games native resolution is not 1080p. so you won't notice a difference, sometimes I think forcing it to 1080p like in dead space it looked worse... and that game says on the back it supports 1080p, but it defaults to 720p because that's the native resolution.

Not all PS3 games support 1080p.

Not all games will upscale to 1080p even if the game case says it supports it. Some examples i've ran into are GTA4, Brutal Legend, Socom:C, and Dead Space. When i started playing my tv would play them at 720p, so i tried to force 1080p output and the games ended up looking worse. Other games such as MGS4, GoW collection will automatically upscale.

I would recommend to just play at which ever resolution the game automatically goes to.
