PS3 Firmware Version 1.80
Sony have today announced the availability of a new firmware upgrade - version 1.80.

The new update allows upscaling of PSOne and PS2 games along with DVD movies up to full 1080p HD resolution when viewed on a compatible HD TV set.

Quote:
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.

Notes

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.

Didnt some "analysts" say this wouldnt happen...Anyhow Like a million people have said before me you guys need to be patient...Backwards Combatability is nearly perfect, and now upscaling dvd's and ps1 and 2 games into 1080p WOW, I can finally sell my Ps2...I'll tell you guys what is next ingame XMB access, the ability to play your music on your harddrive In-Game...Give Sony time, but they delivered on this one so why not In Game XMB axis next...

I cant find any updates on the website... I dont really want to download through PS3 as it takes ages....

Well I've just d/l'd the new update and I have to say I'm impressed. It's not as comprehensive as I would like and there's still a lot of features like in game XMB that I want to see but it definitely makes my DVD's look a lot better
Up until now I was still using my DVD player (Sony, of course) for DVD's and PS3 for my Blu-Rays. All this is now going to change and I will be using my PS3 for everything. Good job Sony!
