The PlayStation servers have been getting hammered all morning, as it took unusually long to download this firmware update. There's some new menu options now to help with the new features, which are fully detailed in the article.
There is also now at least one new option added under Photo, Music, and Video. The first is Search for Media Servers, which will browse your LAN for any streaming servers. The others will be icons for any Media Servers detected on your network. The media streaming is quick and easy, with Windows Media Player working as the server.
Loot Ninja says the upscaling feature is terrific as well, and DVDs look better than on the Xbox 360 Elite over HDMI at 1080p. As an extra bonus, all videos you downloaded from the PlayStation Store will now upscale to your maximum resolution. Videos that once showed at 720p are now running at 1080p on their HDTV. On the games avenue, it's like breathing new life into your old games. God of War looks fantastic in 1080p. Here's a bit more good news: the upscaling works on the PS1 Classics you download from the PlayStation Store.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial for streaming media from my PC to the PS3.
Thanks in advance
I would of thought as long as you have your PC connected to your home network the PS3 would find it.
"Loot Ninja says the upscaling feature is terrific as well, and DVDs look better than on the Xbox 360 Elite over HDMI at 1080p."
What? This is a slap in the face of Microsoft. Wasn't the chip in the 360 suppose to make upscaling on the 360 better than the PS3's upscaling capability? But now the chip doesn't even matter because ps3's software and chip make it a more capable upscaling machine. Good job Sony.
And drunk pandas, show me an article that says that after Ps3 firmware update v1.80, the 360's general upscaling wins hands down.... Still waiting...
Now Back to Gears.
"Overall, I think this is a terrific update for the PS3. Because of the ease and speed of streaming, I will most likely use the PS3 as my new media center if I can get the file type issue working with Twonky Media. Otherwise, I’ll stick with the 360."
Come on Twonky Media! Get that file type issue working! lol
that could start another FANBOI WAR 34557398473747389. q:
