It would seem there are some other goodies too

I was just experimenting to see if there are any changes. There appears to have been one to XMB. You can now use the xmb if the browser is open, allowing you to... oh, I dunno... put music on, and listen whilst browsing.

dude you could that since uk launch

Same, add that and the ability to start a chat/send a message in game then ill be happy.

Would be nice to be able to follow people into a game as well.

Blu-Ray playable @ 720P over component.

That's what I had assumed.

Would be pretty stupid to limit blu rays to 1080p only.

Does anyone actually know for sure how it works if you don't have a 1080p set? My set only does up to 1080i, the most obvious way for blu rays that are in 1080p to work on tv's that don't support 1080p would be for it to just display at 720p or 1080i. Surely it does this, anybody know for sure?

Also, does it actually make any difference if you're using component at 720p/1080i?

I have mine at 1080i on hdmi. Works fine.. looks stunning!

is it ?, I've been holding off buying a ps3 b-cos I thought it could'nt scale Blu-Ray to 720p only 1080i/p

"Blu-ray (PS3). Keep in mind that unless your display can handle a 1080p or 1080i resolution the PS3 will downgrade the image into 480p."

I see stuff like the above all round the net unless it's an issue thats been fixed now ? I was sure if your TV can't handle 1080i then it just down scales it to 480p, perhaps yours is being down scaled and you don't relize it, hope I'm wrong though.

yes thats fine but my TV does'nt work well with 1080i, it shimmers, and I'm sure blu-ray on the PS3 can't scale to 720p.
