Default Upscaling confusion....
I've had my PS3 for just about a year (PAL 200GB) and have been collecting Blu-ray movies pretty much from the day I got it.

Anyway, it occurs to me something odd about the whole Blu-ray vs DVD upscaling thing which confuses me. I could be wrong about this (feel free to correct) and apologise if this has already been discussed.

OK - I put in my DVD and the PS3 upscales to 1080 - great. I play the SD special features on a Blu-ray and doesn't upscale it and keeps it at 480!

Why can't/doesn't the PS3 upscale SD content on Blu-rays? It can do it brilliantly for DVD but doesn't even appear to try when it comes to SD content on HD media!

Am I wrong or is there a setting I'm missing??

Just wondered if anyone could shed any light on this because in theory I can get a better image from a SD content on a DVD than SD content from a Blu-ray!

EDIT - also if this is the case is it just affecting PS3's or is the situation the same on standalones??
