PS3 playing DVD's....
 

Hey PS3 owners, how is the upconverting for old DVD's? I know it's not supposed to be as good as the stand alone HD-DVD or Blu-Ray players, but does it make your regular DVD's look any better at all?

Also can you stop a DVD and turn the system off, then resume from the same spot later? That always bugged me about playing movies in the PS2, there wasn't even a counter so you could write down where you were.

PS3: To get Upscaling

"You know, we're not sure when it's coming, but we're going to have DVD upscaling on Playstation 3."

It should be in the PS3 soon, or so they say. I also have the XBox360 HDDVD player and the upconversion in that does a nice job with regular DVDs. I was actually surprised by the output and have enjoy watching some old favorites over again.

Very nice. Through a software download or what do you think? Not a whole new PS3, right?
