Displaying 16:9 on a 4:3 tv would be no different than watching a widescreen dvd
on it, you'd just have black bars on the top and bottom as you play. You just make sure in the PS3 options that you tell it your tv is 4:3 and it will make sure anything that needs to be widescreen will fit correctly.

Also,
most those smaller 20inch and under 4:3 LCD tvs that claim HDTV ready,
are really not, they mostly have resolutions of 1024*768, and once you
fit widescreen to that, there's no way you can show full 720p
(1280*720) on it, it would have to shrink it down to 1024*570 something
once the bars are on the top and bottom.

There are larger older
32inch CRT Tube 4:3 HDTVs that can show 1080i widescreen, it just
doesn't draw in the full 4:3 area, but focuses the lines down into the
16:9 area, which works since CRTs don't have a fixed resolution persay,
unlike LCDs.

thanks for the answers :)

what about connecting a ps2 to a widescreen tv, and playing aps2 game

which doesnt have widescreen option?

Yes,
there will be bars on the sides for PS2 games. You could always zoom
the game to fill the screen, but cutting off important game info, or distort it to the screen. There are even HD movies that are only4:3.

No atter what the tv, no matter what type of shape, you'll always be able
to get a picture to be as big as it can be on any type of screen
without distorting the picture. So 4:3 on a 16:9 tv, you'd have bars on
the side. 16:9 on a 4:3 tv, you'll have bars on the top and bottom.
Most Blu-ray movies are even wider, so you'll still have bars on the
top and bottom of 16:9 tvs. But PS3 games are all 16:9 to fill a 16:9
tv.

Basically, they make it so everything comes out okay. Nobody
likes watching regular 4:3 shows on a 16:9 tv with it stretched to fill
the screen, making everyone look squished. But most tvs have aspect
options you can flip through to change that, so you can zoom, fill,
normal, 1:1, etc.
