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

London, 24 May 2007 – 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 dramatically1 enhance the viewing pleasure of their DVD collection when viewed through a compatible HD TV set. Not only are DVD movies 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 includes the ability to print photo images stored on PS3’s hard disk drive or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers via USB connection.

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

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

2. Use of Remote Play requires PS3 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, please see http://www.dlna.org/en/consumer/home

If you have, say, an LCD display it will upscale the content anyway, so I doubt this PS3 feature will "dramatically enhance the viewing pleasure". :)

Not all LCDs will, especially the cheapies.

Yes they will. It\'s a fixed pixel display. You can either use all the pixels or none.

Yes, because upscaling isn\'t magic. It can\'t create what wasn\'t really there to begin with (but some scalers are better than others - but you won\'t mistake any upscaled material for real HD).

Does this mean that a a game on PS2 that was running at 640x480 resolution now will be much sharper looking?

Yeah, I can\'t wait to see how the scaling holds up. I can\'t wait to replay Silent Hill 2 in 1080p!

So, theoretically, GT4, for instance, will look \'better\' on a PS3 at 1080p (so does that mean no more jaggies?) then on a PS2 at native res?

The above shot is of Tekken2 btw.

This is from a PS3 DVD playback vs. 360 thread.

impressed by the ps3, but the 360 shot isnt really fair unless that\'s with a VGA plug, which makes the picture look really good. that looks like component
