YCrCb is the native colorspace used by DVD and Blu-ray. Currently, the PS3 converts YCrCb -> RGB for output through HDMI, and as a result, peak whites and blacker-than-black (BTB) are clipped, resulting in some loss of shadow detail.

The next firmware update should address that issue.]]>Nov 30th 2006 8:02PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/Nov 30th 2006 10:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/
I guess it's because Sony didn't indclude the component cables that only some customers would even use in the standard package (because Sony is evil and hate their customers of course that's the reason). He doesn't know that you can get PS2 component cables (they are the same) for $10 at Target.com or a HDMI cable for $5 at Monoprice.com

"Full rate H.264 (40Mbps) using less than half the computing power available. Aren't the Microsoft dev team saying the Xbox 360 is pushed to its limit for 30Mbps H.264?"

I haven't heard that. However, if it is true, they could run the H.264 stream through the GPU and have plenty of headroom. ]]>Dec 1st 2006 7:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/Dec 1st 2006 7:51AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/
I don't think anyone watching a movie actually cares what's going on inside the box...they only care about what's on their TV screen. So I'm not sure how your making a connection with technical specs and actual adoption of Blu-Ray???

I personaly would think it to be allot more impressive if there were 7 feisty midgets dancing around inside my TV set to get the movie to show...but at the end of the day it's still just a movie. ]]>Dec 1st 2006 10:14AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/
I don't think so, even though Blu-ray is the more advanced technology, the HD DVD addon for the Xbox 360 is already the best selling accessory for the 360 even though it has only been out for a little over 3 weeks. The estimates are HD DVD will have over 10 times the install base by year end over Blu-ray and that's assuming a fair sales push for stand alone Blu-ray players and every PS3 selling out. Factor into that not every PS3 owner is going to buy Blu-ray movies and the only reason a 360 would purchase the HD DVD addon is to watch movies.... well I hope you get the picture.

HD DVD are releasing an avg of $5 less than Blu-ray title as well. Blu-ray has a long, long road ahead just to stay in the game.

HDDVD had a nice run while it lasted but it'll be over very soon for that format the more people buy PS3 even if they dont all use it as a BD player. Even if less than 30% of PS3 users use it for BD playback HDDVD will still be outnumbered.]]>Dec 2nd 2006 3:27PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/
To correct Dave the Microsoft rep said they were pushing the cores harder than anyone other Gears of War to do HD-DVD. That does not mean the Xbox360 is matched out just that they are utilizing more of the processing power than most of the games to date. ]]>Dec 1st 2006 11:15AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/Dec 1st 2006 2:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/Dec 7th 2006 10:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/
No kidding...Most people will not have their PS3 in their living room, and they will not be paying twice as much for a lesser quality player.]]>Dec 3rd 2006 9:14AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/Dec 4th 2006 2:35AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/Dec 5th 2006 3:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/11/30/ps3-to-get-upscaled-dvds-1080p-24-sacd/(Note: we've yet to try 1080p/24, as we don't have any media mastered thusly.)


Wait? Are some BluRay DVDS not mastered in 24hz?

I just bought a PS3 for the BluRay, and my TV accepts 1080p but downscales to 768p. And the picture is not the JAW DROPPING picture of a blu ray with a 1080p set.

SO, I'm returning it.

To me, it looks like an upscaled DVD player. And to the average consumer, they will all be pretty angry when they get home and find out their big purchase of a BluRay or HDDVD from what they saw in the store is VERY different from what they have at home.

A HUGE difference.

Can anyone help here?]]>Dec 29th 2007 2:16PM
