I got my PS3 on launch, and ever since launch whenever i play a game there are graphical artifacts or glitches that pop up and jump all over the screen, usually little red or black deformed triangles. It doesn't always do it, it only seems to do it during actual real time rendering not, cg, but it does do it on ps2 games as well. If anyone else has run into a problem like this, or knows where i could get more info please let me know

i had a glitch like that on my 80gb, while trying to play grandia 2, when i first got my ps3. But since accumulaing 30+ ps3 games, i haven't tried a ps1 or ps2 game since, and probably won't for quite some time.

Have you ruled out a loose or bad connection? Or is this clearly a rendering issue?
Maybe try doing some of those GTA IV fixes like clearing the browser cache or whatever. Certainly can't hurt but if it's not a bad connection then it sounds like you have a dying system. |

I was playing GTAIV the other day and suddenly there was a kinda graphical glitch and Brucie kinda looke like he had a fishnet shirt on. Kinda odd. First and only time I've had anything happen. Hopefully it doesn't do anything else. It'd suck to have to send my ps3 in AGAIN. |

I am pretty sure it is a rendering thing, but i may be wrong. What GTAIV fixes are you talking about?
ITs been doing it sense i got the system, but at first i only had resistance so i just thought it was a resistance glitch, and then i didn't play the system again till assassins creed came out, and it was doing it there to

This doesn't sound like it'll help you but it's a fun read:

hmmm after some experimenting it seems there are 3 ways my ps3 displays things. 1 is when it seems to be rendering something a bunch of little triangles and other shapes just around the screen, I can see this when i have the default theme/background on the menu, and during regular gameplay. Another is a large triangle made of lines will fill the upper left corner of the screen for a brief moment then go back to normal, or the same with happen on the lower right corner, but never the whole screen at once, and it happens at irregular intervals. This seems to happen only on certain backgrounds i display, it did it on the downloadable MGS4 background, and it does it when i play PS2 games. Lastly, when the system does not seem to be rendering, when it is playing CG or a movie, everything seems normal, i changed my background on the menu to the built in air paint one, or the downloadable blast factor one and everything seems fine. Hmmmm
