I'm just wondering if we need to download the most up to date firmware for the PS3 separate than the actual console update? i'm asking this because some blu ray movies i have look very grainy on some scenes and very clear (very good in other words) in other scenes. I have the documentary Planet Earth on BD and it looks amazing sometimes and crappy other times, why is that? (i mean i spent nearly $100 on this thing). My TV isn't the problem because i have a Sony Bravia 52" 1080p LCD HDTV just so you guys don't tell me its my TV and please refrain from telling me i'm showing off my TV because i'm not, i could care less, everyone has a big screen TV nowadays.
well is all the footage shot on planet earth shot in HD. If it isn't (which i'm guessing not all of it is) then it could just be the quality of the film.
ok i can see why that would be if some of the footage wasn't shot in HD but what about the movies translated into HD? for instance Batman Begins, even Dark Knight...i've noticed some grainy scenes in both movies and some very sharp looking scenes. The best movie i own so far (quality wise) is Troy which doesn't show any hint of graininess throughout the entire movies.

The most likely time you'll see film grain is during night/dark scenes. Some directors add/remove it, it just depends how they want to see their final vision. I personally like it. It's always been there, you just notice it more now with the move to HD.

The directors choice, depends on the filming camera used in the scene and the filters applied to it.
