Details of the PlayStation 3 (PS3) 1.80 firmware update, which will be available tomorrow, show that the console will get an excellent improvement in its quest to be your home entertainment hub. The most interesting added functionality is, of course, the ability to upscale PlayStation 1 (PS1) and PlayStation 2 (PS2) games, as well as DVD-Video, to 1080p (Full HD) through HDMI on a HD display.
The update also brings support for Remote Play for the PSP, meaning a user can access their PS3 from anywhere in the world where an Internet connection is available. This feature will need both 1.80 firmware on the PS3 and also PSP firmware version 3.50, which will be available at the end of the month. The update also allows users on a home network to view and play media content stored on DLNA3-enabled devices.
Another notable addition to the PS3's list of features is the ability to print photos stored on the console's hard drive or storage media using some models of Epson printers through a USB cable.
