Ps3 games can't? I just popped in socom 2 and after setting everything up it converted from 480P to 1080P, but when I popped in warhawk (or any other game for that matter) it restricts the resolution to 720P. What's up with this?

The PS3 doesn't have a hardware upscaler. The PS2 upscaling is by software.

Anyway, you're not going to notice really any difference between 720p and 720p upscaled to 1080p.

No, if your TV supports 1080p, then the games will be upscaled to 1080p.

Plus when you upscale those ps2 games expecialy older ones it looks really ugly. You are just stretching the picture wider and theres a smoothing option that tries to blur out bad jaggies.

if your TV doesn't support 1080p then you'll either get nothing or a really really bad image...

Of course... PS2 games are all emulated by software, and the PS3 has loads more processing power than the PS2 so it can afford to use some extra muscle as far as resolution goes.

Of course PS3 games can do that as well, but you just have to have a tv that supports 1080p otherwise you're screwed.

An upconverted 1080p doesnt really mean much, its like a fake 1080p. My mortal Kombat 2 download is in 1080p!!!

Games like warhawk are running at a true resolution made for the game, when you mess around with reolutions you will find if you play upconverted games in 1080p, they look better at the their natural resolution of 720p or what ever.

Cat fight!

WTF, indeed...

Anyway, just let your PS3 games render in their native resolution. They look better that way anyway.

PS1/2 games = better when upscaled.

PS3 games are NOT better when upscaled.

The 80GB version uses software to emulate, but the 20GB and 60GB have PS2 hardware in them. I have the 60GB, and I upcoverted some PS2 games like Ratchet and Jak and Daxter, and they look bad. They look blurry and dull, so I just play them in 480p and they look better even with some jaggies.
