Latest PLAYSTATION 3 Firmware Update Provides PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and DVD Upscaling, Remote Play on PSP (PlayStation Portable) via the Internet and DLNA transfer of media content also enabled.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today availability of the latest version of the PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) firmware. Version 1.80 features upscaling of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, and DVD movies up to full 1080p HD resolution when viewed on a compatible HD TV set.

The capability to upscale DVDs to HD quality is a feature normally only associated with top range DVD players, and its inclusion in the latest firmware upgrade now allows PS3 owners with an existing DVD collection to dramatically enhance the viewing pleasure of their DVD collection when viewed through a compatible HD TV set. Not only can DVD movies be enhanced to full 1080p HD quality but so too will PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games be upscaled to provide much improved gaming pleasure.

In a comprehensive update to PS3’s already impressive capabilities, Version 1.80 also allows users to enjoy Remote Play on their PSP across the internet, allowing them to access their PS3 anywhere in the world where a broadband internet connection is available2.

Version 1.80 also allows users on a home network to seamlessly view and play rich media content such as images, music and video on their PS3, that is stored on their DLNA3 enabled devices such as PCs and laptops elsewhere in the house, reinforcing PS3’s credentials as a home entertainment hub that truly deserves pride of place in the Living Room.

A host of other enhancements include the ability to print photo images stored on PS3’s hard disk or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers.

PS3 owners will be able to upgrade their PS3 with the latest Version 1.80 firmware from 24th May 2007.

1. DVD-ROM (including DVD Video content) can only be upscaled with HDMI compatible TV sets.

2. Use of Remote Play requires a powered up PS3 with Version 1.80 as well as PSP firmware version 3.50 which will be available at the end of May.

3. DLNA – Digital Living Network Alliance. For more info on DLNA

It's for all PS3's demi

Because it's library is horrible and has basically 0 exclusives, whats left, FFXIII? Thats over a year and half away. Oh and 600 US DOLLARS. PSP is pretty awesome though.

I will still buy one because I am a whore. But I also bought  Saturn and NeoGeo Pocket Color.

Firmware 1.80 now available for download.

Blu Ray 720p output now supported. Yay, MAF?

DVD upconverting works like a charm, just as good as my standalone upconverting player.

PS1/PS2 upconverting is AWESOME.

Oh, I agree with you, it's unsettling. I just started to get into online Resistance play, so that and Calling All Cars are alright for now, but I'd like something new and exciting before Fall. I may end up importing Folks Soul in June if it ends up having English as the trailer would suggest.

The thing is I dont even WANT wizbang jaw dropping titles. I LOVE MLB 07 The Show and its the least visually impressive of the 07 offerings. I liked BULLET WITCH on 360 for cripes sake. It doesnt take much!

You may want to look into Folks Soul (Folklore) next month, then. It may have English support, and it will be cheaper than the American version ($50 at YesAsia).

They made that possible a few weeks back. You'll have to redownload the games (for free), though.
