Default PS3 Firmware 1.8 out :)

And it allows you to browse across your home network to PCs/NAS's to play video/photo/mp3

All scaling now supported DVD/BluRay (1080->720...no SD) PS2/PS1

Divx decoder in a bit and then my media pc will be redundant...

Cheers

I shall be really annoyed with MS if Sony beat them to supporting DivX playback, for the life of me I can't understand why they won't add support for it.

Dan does the photo viewer still work in the same way when browsing over your home network as it does locally? I guess so.

Haven't tried it, just trying out the upscaling of PS2 stuff

The retail kits in the office aren't allowed to see our network, I'll have to try it at home...

Is there a list anywhere of what type of file playback it supports? Annoying thing about 360 is wmv only.

Soooo tempted with the PS3 but want a true 1080P Screen first.

Oh - speaking of which... you might want to consider this little beauty for a 42" LCD: Mirai DTL-642E500 42" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV - SVP apparently it's the same screen as a Sony....

WOW. It includes upscaling of DVDs to HD. That's a big bonus for me.

It offers 3 options, double scale, normal and full screen. Anyone know whats best for a 42inch LCD?

The photo album browser mode is bloody amazing.
