Topic: PS3 as a blu-ray player

[jiggs84]

The SD DVD video processing (also the upscale feature) capabilities in PS3 out-performs many other standalone DVD players. I got surprised when my PS3 beats my other SONY DVD players including my Toshiba HD DVD player! The PS3 noise reduction feature is smply marvelous!

It's very tempted to use the PS3 to play SD DVD as well but I guess for "insurance" purpose, it's better to avoid it & stick to Blu-ray na lang

is that true? sige let me try it this weekend. my PS3 is RegionA and i have limited R1 dvds. let me see if i can detect the difference, just for this purpose. thanks sir paul

PS3 is not only a good upscaler and blu ray player, it can also play hidef files, mp3s, divx, xvid... and ohh, you can play games too

Excerpts from PS3 manual/About system software version 2.20 update:

Mosquito Noise Reduction (introduced in version 2.20)- Set to reduce mosquito noise that appears on the edges of visual images.

This option lets you reduce so-called “mosquito noise,” or flicker, that appears on the edge of visual images while you are watching standard DVDs.

*In addition to standard DVDs, you can use this noise-reduction feature on some Blu-ray Discs

Sorry if this might have been asked previously, but the thread has grown too long to search!  

Question on playing BD movies on the ps3 with an non-full HD TV (1024x768) plasma (Pana 42pv8).  Will ALL BD movies be able to play at least 720p or 1080i on this plasma?  I ask because when browsing the case of some BD movies, I saw 2 columns under video (HD: 1080p and Standard: 480p).  I'm concerned that since the plasma isn't full hd 1080p, then it might only produce at 480p.  Hope not!   Thanks.

The PV8 will be able to play 1080P sources but it will downconvert the signal to 720P.

An update to the PS3™ system software was released on June 18, 2008. You can use this update to upgrade your system software to version 2.36.

New for 2.36: System stability during use of some PlayStation® format software has been improved.


No improvement for blu here...

[steelcrazy]

Does the new firmware update includes reconizing and playing mkv files?

[quasar]

Is it ok to buy a PS3 from SM Department Stores, Toy Kingdom, etc.? If not, any suggestions where I could get one locally?

Very expensive if you buy at those places. Try check out at Greenhills.

i've been enjoying bluray discs and converted mkvs on my ps3  lately...
the ps3 as a mediaplayer is really a good buy...

- i noticed that the ps3 beats my toshiba hddvd in upscaling SD. (too much grain on HDDVD).

Thanks Mouldingo.  Won't it downconvert to 1080i instead of 720p?

Too expensive at those stores. Try EYO at the third level of V-Mall in Greenhills.

PS3 has very good video processing capability & indeed beats many other players.
