^Yup, I meant upscale din (i was careful not to use the term "upscale" baka kasi may iba palang term pag sa divx files etc hehe)

ok thanks bro!

excited na ako magka-PS3! :D pero baka hintayin ko yung lalabas na 80gb with the price of 40gb.

oo antay mo nalang, sa u.s. august 27 lalabas na.

if you are talking of bluray movies, ok lang, we are same region as the usa, region a, if its games naman, almost all games which is also in bluray disc are region free already, so walang problema. if dvd naman ang tinutukoy mo, ang usa ay region 1, tayo dito region 3, so you can't use a us made ps3 to watch your r3 dvds, and there is still no way to make it region free (playing dvds).  :). pero as they say, why use your ps3 to watch dvds, baka masira pa yung lense, 5k din yan.

Anyone updated to 2.41 and had problems? I usually use a USB thumb drive to update my software.
I wanted to make sure before I update...kasi there were some issues with the 2.40 last I heard.

Firmware 2.42

System changes:
* Improves the playback quality of some PLAYSTATION 3 and PlayStation format software.
* The trophies on the games category load much quicker.

compared to my previous updates via ps3, waaaaa this update is by far the SLOWEST  >:( ;D :D

Hi Von, you have nothing to worry about. It's perfectly safe (as far as 2.41 is concerned). ;)
