PS3 DVD Upconversion
So, last Thursday Sony came out with another firmware update for the PS3. This one made it so that DVDs and standard-definition PS and PS2 games are "upconverted" to whatever resolution your PS3 is set to. In my case, that's 1080i output for the computer monitor that I'm using for my PS3 display. I heard about this update and was sort of like, meh... I didn't really think it would make much difference.
I have to say... WOW. Before, things looked really blocky and pixellated, and now... holy crap. I've never seen a regular DVD look so good. I have yet to try a PS2 game, but I'm still working on Shadow of the Colossus, so I'll post back once I play it again.
Good job Sony!
