Gamers stuck with an older HDTV that doesn't support 720p input can cheer for the upcoming
Burnout: Paradise "Cagney" update, which adds (among other things) 1080i output support for the PlayStation 3 version. Dismissively referring to such sets "almost HD", Simon Phipps of Criterion dropped the details on the free update due July 10 that also adds improved SD rendering on the PS3 and support for custom soundtracks. It'd be nicer if that slick
2.40 update added Xbox 360-style
scaling for all games so developers didn't to expend the effort, but from the sounds of things it's
not high on Sony's list of priorities.
