With the new ability to upscale your DVD collection and improved Remote Play functionality, PS3 is more essential than ever.
The latest system software update is now available for PS3, and it adds fantastic new features to the system's capabilities.
Upscaling
System Software 1.80 adds the capability to upscale your existing DVD collection to HD quality - a feature normally only associated with top of the range DVD players. Via upscaling, DVDs are enhanced to full 1080p HD (when viewed on an appropriate HD ready TV).
The upscaling feature isn't restricted to DVDs - PS3 compatible PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games are also upscaled, making your existing game collection look better than ever.
Remote Play via Internet
Upgrade your PS3 system software to version 1.80, and the Remote Play feature is updated to support Internet streaming. This allows you to access content stored on your PS3 system's Hard Disk Drive using your PSP, wherever you have Wireless access to the Internet - so your photos, music and video can all be enjoyed on PSP no matter where you are (requires PSP system software version 3.50 and above).
Increased support for PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games
System software 1.80 also adds compatibility with a number of additional PlayStation and PlayStation 2 software titles.
Updating your PS3 to System Software 1.80 is simple. If your PS3 system is connected to the internet, simply access System Settings > [Network Update] in the Home Menu. Alternatively, the update can be downloaded from the Help & Support section of this site, and saved to disc or USB storage for use with PS3.
