    U mean the rainbowy-colored streaks across the screen? I got those too, but that's cuz I had a crappy hdmi cable. Get a better one. Try the one I got on amazon via a recommendation from one of our R3 bros: Amazon.com: Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel [Latest HDMI Version Available] - (6 Feet): Electronics. Works wonders. I'll never buy crappy cheap cables from meritline again. Still won't spend 50bucks on a cable though, lolz.

    Is it like that when you play games too? Cuz I recall only having those lines in the XMB, but in games it was normal (no rainbows).

    Not sure. Maybe it's cuz the PS3 outputs to 720p on the XMB? Cuz when I change my display settings to 1080p, the XMB still looks the same lolz. Do you think that might be why? hmmmmm
