| Quote: | 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 set1. 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. |

A) PS3 is still not as widespread round here
B) Most of those updates are geared towards PS3 as a media player while people on here prefer to discuss games and gaming consoles
C) PS3 has not been hacked, cracked or warezed.

That’s very true I'm more into Audio/Video than I'm into gaming, The PS3 is incredible Bluray player and considering the price of standalone on the market it's a bargain, so this update is going to rock, 24fps output is great.
Gaming wise this console is a pos, only game I played is Resistance and it was a launch title and next game Im planning to buy is 3-4 month ahead, so wtf it's like 8 month without a single game I want to buy… :-/

yup - as a movie player, it rocks.
i just don't like the SIXAXIS. I don't like the prize. I don't like the size. And the dry game period is far too long.
oh - and they need a faster BLU-RAY drive...

The 360 is only hacked because they did a mistake with the firmware on the dvd-drive. What I'm saying is that it can take a long time if not sony made a similar mistake.
