Sony hoping to improve PS3 upscaling 30 - 40%

The 1.80 PS3 firmware update might have just went out the door, but they aren't letting the coders sit still in Japan. In an interview with AV Watch, Sony Computer Entertainment managers Kawanishi and Kanehide let it slip that Sony isn't content to simply match the visual quality of upscaling TVs and DVD players, since the Cell is capable of doing much better. Sony expects to improve the quality of the image another 30 - 40% when all is said and done, and is waiting on a stable version of the Blu-ray spec so it can enable scaling of 1080i BD content to 1080p. The duo also hinted that a remote media playback solution that doesn't involve having to leave the PS3 on at all times is in the works, and that Sony plans on updating the PS3's firmware every quarter. No word on when we might see rumble finally show up, but we'll take what we can get -- maybe the upscaling will actually make a difference this time around.

They're waiting for a stable version of the bluray specification? :lol: Am I the only one that sees the irony in that?farrell2k

that's only because not all blu ray movies can be played in 1080p some only support 720p and 1080i.

wow... just wow. Do u really have to turn good news into bad? just go to bed.

OLD NEWS but still people not aware of this:

- The EE plus GS embedded in the PS3 does emulation for PS1/PS2 for initial shipments PS3, so no graphics upgrade for the time being. The software emulation technology is almost complete but not ready for the launch. As soon as it is ready, the EE plus GS unit will be removed.

Just like the hdmi should have been included in the original 360.

Never seen a comparison, but how's the ps3 upscaling on DVDs compared to the Oppo DVD players and the HD-DVD players? Which are rated the best upscalers.

"waiting on a stable version of the Blu-ray spec"?

Does this mean only later versions of the PS3 will benefit from this future firmware improvement?
