Latest PLAYSTATION 3 Firmware Update Provides PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and DVD
Upscaling

Remote Play on PSP (PlayStation Portable) via the Internet and DLNA transfer of
media content also enabled

London, 24 May 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) announced today
availability of the latest version of the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) firmware. Version
1.80 features upscaling of PlayStation® and PlayStation 2 games, and DVD movies up
to full 1080p HD resolution when viewed on a compatible HD TV set.

The capability to upscale DVDs to HD quality is a feature normally only associated
with top range DVD players, and its inclusion in the latest firmware upgrade now
allows PS3 owners with an existing DVD collection to dramatically enhance the
viewing pleasure of their DVD collection when viewed through a compatible HD TV
set1. Not only can DVD movies be enhanced to full 1080p HD quality but so too will
PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games be upscaled to provide much improved gaming
pleasure.

In a comprehensive update to PS3’s already impressive capabilities, Version 1.80
also allows users to enjoy Remote Play on their PSP across the internet, allowing
them to access their PS3 anywhere in the world where a broadband internet connection
is available2.

Version 1.80 also allows users on a home network to seamlessly view and play rich
media content such as images, music and video on their PS3, that is stored on their
DLNA3 enabled devices such as PCs and laptops elsewhere in the house, reinforcing
PS3’s credentials as a home entertainment hub that truly deserves pride of place in
the Living Room.

A host of other enhancements include the ability to print photo images stored on
PS3’s hard disk or inserted storage media to a selection of Epson printers.

PS3 owners will be able to upgrade their PS3 with the latest Version 1.80 firmware
from 24th May 2007.
