Hi This is my first PS3 post as I am considering buying one both for gaming and something which can feed 1080p video into my new Sony Bravia What I would like to know is which model of PS3 I would be best off buying and should I be looking for any particular firmwares? Sort of things I would like to do: Stream HD Video to the TV / play HD video directly from an Ext HDD Play games in the same way as it is possible on the PSP with devhook etc. Play all region Blu-Ray games Play all region Blu-Ray movies Upscale DVDs to HD Internet browsing I have read that the UK PS3 may not be region free for gaming That the EU version will have software emulation for PS2 games (good or bad?) I have seen people looking for v1.31 and below, assume this is for reasons similar to wanting v1.5 on a PSP but can someone show me a link to an explanation of what this offers (or what a version higher would not offer!). Thanks in advance!
-no streaming of hd yet, but there are tutorial on how you can convert hd movies to play on ps3.. -only usa region can be played on blu-ray movies, uk and japan have their own region... -blu ray games however are region free... -no dvd upscaling yet..maybe in the future..rumors beleived..that new firmware will possibly do this... -is internet browser capable..ie. psp..same concept -iso loader in speculation but none released to the public yet, so no devhook way YET soon possibly..uk launch..fingers crossed.. -new firmware is better with features and bugs fixed..older firmware for isoloader when it comes out..
