Could anyone tell me how I'm able to watch/play DVD's, and PS1 & PS2 games in 1080p on my brand spanking new PS3 that I enjoy so much.

...Oh and yes my TV supports 1080p.

Thanks in advance.

"Sony continues to taunt North American and European PS3 owners"

OH PLEASE give me a break... taunt North American PS3 owners??? no! European users are the only one that are taunted... our store (EU, I'm from holland) has 10 times less content then the US-store :(

[gta_cb]

yeh i know exactly what you mean, i live in the UK and own an Xbox 360 and theres games etc that has come out here, yet we still cannot download the demo which is available in the USA. and no video marketplace etc.... ohwell i guess its the same with both consoles, i wounder if Wii owners in Europe miss out compared to USA etc.

I agree with edwin - the EU ps store sucks (i'm in london). The US store gets atleast one game a week on their store, while we are lucky if we even get one in like 3 weeks! Last one was Q bert, which was out in the US store like 4 months prior to it's release here, and it sucks anyway. When is sony gonna learn that Eropean PS3 owners are just as important as owners that are in the US and Japan. More PS3's sold at the EU launch than at the US or Japan launch, so why on earth do we get treated so badly compared to US/Japan PS3 owners? I thought Phil Harrison was from the UK. So y dont he treat PS3 owners that are on the same continent as he grew up in? This stinks

[Siesser]

do we think these releases are headed individually (i.e. SCEJ decides what and when to release in Japan, SCEA, and SCEE the same)? Or do we think there's some grand scheme as far as what to give to each region?

[richie007bond]

Sony needs more content on the UK ps store,am lucky if i vist the store once a week now,same old demos and trailers, its getting kind of boring now.If sony wants to keep up with the awesome Xbox live they need to get their asses in gear and fast,dont get me wrong its a good start but sony needs more demos more trailers just moreeeeeeeeee of everything to keep me interested,there lagging way behind xbox 360 and the wii,they need to stop dragging their heels and drop the price of the ps3,bring the PS store up to the standards of xbox live, then they just might be onto a winner,cause at the end of the day i love my ps3 and my awesome xbox 360,without these 2 juggernoughts in the industry we would be left with the Wii with yesterdays tech and gimicky features, and that my friends just will not do
