| DKII said: windbane - what more exactly do you want? He also said "It's a great thing for PS3 owners, and yet another plus for the system" if you weren't selectively reading. There's just nothing much to discuss. Great for PS3 owners, a plus for the system, sure. But beyond that it isn't going to have any wider impact beyond the gamer community who already know these kinds of things about it, it's not really a widely marketable thing. What exactly are you looking for here? To actual PS3 users - any word on if it'll output 1080i for those old TVs that only do 1080i and 480p/480i? |
I think it is very marketable. I told a guy at work about it and he wanted one a lot more than he did before (waiting to save the money). Upscaling is a nice $50 feature (or so), upscaling PS1 and PS2 games is very nice, streaming from the PC is apparently easy on the PS3 now, and for me the Remote Play with the PSP will be awesome.
No one is excited about the game saves being able to go back to the memory cards with the adapter, but I am. When I'm not scaling with my PS3 I can play backup games on my PS2 and tranfer the save game back to my PS2. Or, instead of using gameshark or a USB key (which you have to set up with gameshark anyway) I can just download game saves on my PS3 and transfer right to my memory card.
This is not "just an update." It's not only adding features that the 360 had (a year after launch), but it's doing them better and then adding even more features. Every single bullet point in this update was awesome.
