Just got the UK Blu-Ray set of the BBC's Robin Hood season one. It played back perfectly on my US PS3.
Now the packaging says 1080i which would equate to how the episodes were transmitted on HD in the UK - 1080i/50
Now if this is the case then it suggests that the PS3 can handle 50i natively and maybe 25p without a firmware update - good news all round for this great series.
EDIT - a senior BBC broadcast engineer has confirmed that its 1080i/60 (well 59. something) which at least means its safe for US consumption
