When will Sony give us a new PS3 Update?

[rock-ranger]

It has been a while since the last update. And also there were only minor fixes.

What I am hardly missing is the following:

1.) Dolby True HD and DTS Master Audio Bitstream output
2.) PIP feature (for the new announced Discs)
3.) 1080p Upscaling for SD content on Blu Ray Discs
4.) Video EQ

Are there any announcments for these? I've heard that PIP will be coming, but the other three (especially Nr. 1) are more important to me...

I've heard #1 is never happening, but I don't know if that's confirmed.

That's confirmed, at least for the current generation of PS3's (and most likely the 40GB's as well). The PS3 has TrueHD decoding already and DTS-HD MA is rumored to be in the works, so not all is lost if you want to send PCM over HDMI to your receiver.

...it upscales DVDs for me no problem, but with SD content (special features and such) on Blu-ray discs...it doesn't, my resolution goes back to 480i when I select them, unlike DVDs where it stays at 720p.

I think we're overdue for an update as well. We're officially in Profile 1.1 and we need the PS3 to be the first 1.1 player out on the market, considering I've only seen the new panasonic and a dual format player that have been announced.

Yes, I know it can upscale SD DVD's (I'm using this feature already)

But if you watch SD content from Blu Ray Discs it does not. Does anyone know why?
