@ fallenOmen"check the stocks"??? Why don't YOU check the stocks you retard. Sony is trading at a 5 year high. Granted, it's not because of the ps3, but the ps3 clearly didn't break sony. People like you remind me why I'm for abortion
I just installed it. Now my ps2 game is the wrong aspect ratio. Any thoughts. To answer all the questions though, it upscales to 1080i as well as 1080p
Some of the 360 fans here are still operating on old debunked rumors......such as all the choices you get with the 360 and how the PS3 forces things on you for no reason. Examples....... The hard drive. Naughty Dog has stated that Uncharted makes extensive use of the HDD and will not make an appearance on the 360 due to the fact that the HDD is not standard with the 360. Blu-ray. Epic stated that Gears of War was short due to the constraints of DVD and that Single player and Multiplayer Unreal 3 will be on seperate discs on the 360. Not to mention the fact that the PS3 is the reason Blu-ray is winning the format war, which is expected to have a definate winner by years end,,thus helping the consumer by eliminating competing format quickly. Beta vs VHS dragged on for years before VHS won.
OK, question, on PS# Fanboy it doesn't say it only upscales to 1080P, it says it upscales to resolutions as HIGH as 1080p, so does this mean it upscales to other resolutions as well? Cuz I only have 480p, 720p, 1080i...
After faffing around with windows media connect (rubbish), orb (temperamental) and a few other supposed solutions, i've finally got streaming working perfectly running Nero MediaHome on my xp pc... everything streams well at full resolution over the wireless network. So happy!I'm even tempted to get a psp now :)
Kudos to the PS3 developers for releasing such significant firmware upgrade! When was the last time a hardware company releases a firmware that adds tones of features, not just bug fixes? PS3 is well on track to become THE multimedia home entertainment hub it was meant to be.Now, I only wish for Divx/Xvid support. :-)
You mean the Xbox isn't doomed? DOOOOOOOOOOOMED?!!!Your enjoyment of a platform is SEPARATE from its' corporate profitability? What kind of crazy person are you?

I think they have quite a bit of catching up to do yet.

Does anyone know if NFL2K5 looks good with upscaling? If so I'm droppin $599 on a PS3 and 99 cents on a used copy of 2K5.
