| PlayStation 3 Firmware Version 1.80 Announced Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced availability of the latest version of the PlayStation 3 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 PlayStation 3 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 PlayStation 3'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 PlayStation 3 anywhere in the world where a broadband internet connection is available. 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 PlayStation 3, that is stored on their DLNA enabled devices such as PCs and laptops elsewhere in the house, reinforcing PlayStation 3'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 PlayStation 3's hard disk or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers. PlayStation 3 owners will be able to upgrade their PlayStation 3 with the latest Version 1.80 firmware from 24th May 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Game News :: home page |
