PS3 upconverts oldray DVDs

[nycomet]

My friend who owns a PS3 and introduced me to Blu-ray didn't know that his PS3 upconverts "oldray" standard DVDs. All this time he was using a non-upconverting Sony DVD player for his DVDs.

I asked him, don't you use your PS3 to watch your DVDs upconverted? His jaw dropped and he stampeded to his living room to check out a DVD on the PS3. Low and behold, it looked much better than on the regular DVD player. He was embarrassed for not trying to play a "oldray" DVD in his PS3.

Now, he never uses the regular DVD player.

Now if I could only convince him to get Dance, Dance Revolution for the PS3 I will have it made.
