Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler PS3 as Upsacle dvd/ cd player???

With the rumoured sale/pricedrop on the PS3,I was wondering if anyone who had one already would share there thoughts on it..Is it any good at upscaling regular dvd and how is it as a cd player.. I believe it has the ability to play dvd-a and sacd although it only has digital out for sound... Also do you need to use HDMI to get the upscaling to 1080i/p.. My TV only accepts a 1080p signal through component.. It has HDMI but only displays 1080i through the HDMI imput.. I have heard that you can only watch Blueray through the hdmi... Is this true or can you watch BD when hooked up with component and get 1080p.. Do ps2/1 games get upscaled to 1080 like the X360??? Thanks for any help you can give me .... I tried to poke around the gammer sites but it is hard to tell fact from fiction on those sites.. Hence why i posted this here... Hoping to get a straight answer... if one exists..
