One thing I was worried about the the downscaling issue I've been hearing about. I have a Sony WEGA KV-30HS420 CRT TV that only does 480i, 480p and 1080i. It accepts 720 but upscales it to 1080i. Well PS3 in HDMI auto-detected 720p as an available res so I guess the scaling issue is not as bad as I thought. Anyway back on topic, just downloaded this update, get to set up my account after My name is earl tonight :D I just got my system today w00t!

If you plan to get a new tv..just do your shopping, decide on a picture quality you like, dont' skip out on features to save a few bucks..and ask someone like henning who is knowlegeable on the subject.

I don't have a very good tv, so if I plan on an upgrade should I really go for an 1080p?? thanks Is the dvd picture that much better when it’s upscaled from 720p to 1080i??

One thing I want is the ability to use PS2 controller via USB adapter. So I can use my tekken arcade controller. What would be really cool if there was a bluetooth adapter for PS2 controllers or even a PS2 to USB adapter, that would work as well.

PS3™における一部のPlayStation®およびPlayStation®2規格ソフトウェアの動作ステータスを更新しました。最新 の動作ステータスは専用検索サイトでご確認いただけます。 バージョン1.30で使用可能になったUSB機器については、こちらをご覧ください There's also a note there for USB devices from the previous systems, as well as a note that PlayOnline games should be fixed soon as well (which only really applies to FFXI in the states)." take it as a grain of salt..but looks promising. I have downloaded it but the resolution doesn't really affect me as I have a 1080p set. A rumor I came across
