How to Calibrate Gameplay on a PS3

PlayStation 3 games have many calibration options that affect gameplay, usually when you opt to start a new game. The most common option that you can calibrate to your preference is a game's difficulty setting. This can change many factors, but usually makes the game easier or harder based on your selection. Some games have additional options. For example, a game may ask you to adjust the game's brightness until an icon on the screen is barely visible. This will optimize the game's light settings.
