Why post this when nobody bought the PS3 (well maybe the guys who bought the N-Gage)? Anyways so now PS3 gets video upscaling, my 360 has it already since launch, this really shows the only worth consoles to buy are the 360 and PSP (but still the best games are pc games).

This is really gonna make me and my troll friends look super dumb.
All those times we touted the PS3's inability to scale its content due to the lack of built in scaler hardware... If only we had chosen not to ignore and bad talk all the many reputable sources showing that a scaler was actually included under the hood of the PS3...
Listen to me, clearly we are ALL idiots. I just happen to be gay on top of it all!

» firmware 2.0
By Toby Bialas on May 14, 2007
There's been a whole bunch of buzz about this today. The initial post at The Official Playstation Forums around page 208. A veteran poster revealed some insightful info about the supposed new update for PS3 (details below). After plenty of hype and speculation, the poster came back to say her account was supposedly hacked and she is sorry for any inconviences that may have been caused.
But the news has spread far and wide, apparently already to Attack of the Show on G4 just a while ago. So it still remains unknown if Firmware 2.00 is actually near and includes all of this cool stuff or not. Gamers Day is this week, and more than likely Sony will announce anything new there, so we'll keep you updated.

Before you say anything about me being a fanboy read the rest of my posts and count how many times I reference other systems in my post. I almost never mention them, good or bad. But you asked for it with your repugnant post. When you go to a PS3 forum and say something like that you deserve all the hell that anybody wants to give you! Go somewhere else to be miserable. Find someone else to be jealous of. Don't go away mad, just go away!

this update might not be global. just looking at the US PS Forums and other sites and they think US and JAP wont be getting this update coz of the EE chips and how it wasnt meant to handle 1080p upscaling, while the software emulation can be changed to handle anything. only time will tell

» Its been confirmed to be world wide.
Over at NeoGaf an insider confirmed its worldwide including scaling. It may affect the BC on the US/Jap versions tho since it will most likely switch to emulation. Maybe the EE will be deactivated. Honestly the Euro BC list isn't to bad and to have upscaling it may be worth letting go of a few games for awhile.
