    sounds like a prob with the ps3. fiddle around with the video settings.

    what would the video settings do mate ?

    80% of the time the colour is grand so I wouldnt think it has anything to do with the video settings

    forgot to mention my ps3 is the slim version, not sure does that make a difference or not

    to me it just looks like the game your playing.

    try it with another game that we all know like MW2, GTA ?

    Head headshot by any chance do you have a philips plasma TV. I've got the same issue on my TV. It only happens on certain games MW2/FIFA09/MW1. I figured out it was something to do with the TV. Not sure exactly what it is still but looks like to colours lose synch or something. It's annoying as hell but for me anyway has been pretty easy to fix. I just change the TV to HDMI input 2 and back to HDMI input 1 and it seems to re-synch the colour. Works everytime, well has so far and have had the issue for over a year now. Hope this helps.

    I'd try it in a different TV, to see if its linked to the TV or not.

    No you keep your trophies, all the games and demo's will be in download history in the psn store, so you can DL them again. personally id jsut copy your game saves to a memory stick if you can ( some are copy protected )

    The blue colour happened to me yesterday on MW2 - anything that should have been red was blue - Shut down the game and started it again and it was fine.
