Look At PS3 1.80 Firmware Update

Ars Technica takes a look at the latest firmware update for the PS3 which opens up a wide range of functionality.

When the PlayStation 3 launched, the reviews could best be described as tepid, as the functionality and many promised features just weren’t there. But we live in an age of online updates and changing firmware; with this week’s 1.80 firmware update, the PlayStation 3 has become a very impressive piece of A/V goodness. The features are finally starting to catch up with the promise of the hardware, which is to say that the PS3 is now coming into its own.

It’s a great update in almost all respects, but the fact that you cannot upscale DVDs while using a component connection hurts.
