Some good news for PS3 owners
UK, May 23, 2007 - Sony has announced that the latest version of the PlayStation 3 firmware - available to download on May 24 - upscales PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games and DVD movies to full 1080p HD resolution.
Firmware 1.80 also enables users on a home network to use the PS3 to view images, listen to music or play videos, which are stored on their DLNA3 devices (including PCs and laptops) elsewhere in the house.
The PSP's Remote Play function is also set to be improved thanks to the firmware update and PSP owners can now access their PS3 from anywhere in the world - as long as they have a broadband connection and firmware 3.50 for the PSP, which is available at the end of May.
Finally, firmware 1.80 includes the ability to print photo images stored on PS3's hard disk drive or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers via the USB connection.

I have not connected my player to the net. Can this firmware be downloaded and burnt onto a DVD or CD?

I have upgraded the firmware on my PS3 at least twice and it's easy as can be. I did it by using my PC and downloading it from the PS3 site onto a memory stick and then popping the memory stick into the PS3.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Where is the link? BTW do you need to put the earlier firmware upgrades on first? There is currently 1.50 on the system.

I am currently at 1.70 but it doesn't matter. You never have to upgrade the earlier firmwares first. Here is the link, it doesn't look as if 1.80 is up yet: http://www.us.playstation.com/ps3/network/updates
