PS3 - Firmware 1.8 Now Available
As promised, version 1.8 firmware for the PlayStation 3 is now available for download through the System Update. Here´s some of the highlights:
DVD Upscaling- when pl;aying PlayStation 2 games, PSOne games or DVD movies the PS3 can now upscale them to high-def, up to 1080p (if supported by your television). The options for this can be found in BD/DVD Settings.
Copy game saves back to memory cards- Yep, the memory card adapter is no longer a one way street. If you want to take a PS2/ PSOne game save with you to a friend just plug in the adapter with the card and transfer it over. This is something that should have been thought of the first time but at least they fixed it quick.
DLNA Client- If you have a computer set up with DLNA media Server functionality on your network the PS3 can now access the pictures, videos and music files on that computer. This will not work for anything with copyright protection.
Photo Printing- Have an Epson brand computer printer? Have photos on the PS3 hard drive or a memory stick? Now you can hook that printer up to the PS3 and print those photos off.
