Any word on whether the new PS3 firmware can handle 1080i better than it currently does? My old Sony CRT HDTV (vintage 2000) only supports 480i, 480p and 1080i, so the 720p-reverting-to-480p issue is a showstopper for me. I've been leaning toward an XBox 360 for that reason but haven't quite committed to buying yet. If there's now a way to 'force' the PS3 to upscale all output to 1080i instead of what it does now (drops down to 480p for 720p-max content) that would be great.
