You're joking right?

if u have an SDTV and composite cables (red, white, yellow) then no your dvd's and PS2 games will NOT be upscaled, However, your PS2 games will be smoothed so you can still view them smoother than before, but upscaling means you play the DVD or PS2 game in High Definition, 720p or 1080i/p. Since your TV cant handle HD, you can't upscale to a higher resolution than your TV can handle 

Some of these pictures look identical...

bad quality and the pictures are all shrunk. On a large HDTV, the difference is a lot more noticeable

you can't play the game in 720p, 1080i or 1080p... upscaling resolution isnt native resolution... what you do it's to play game upscaled in a high definition signal

That god of war pic from the link is way improved much more than I'm getting. So far the upscaling looks the same as when I turn on progressive to get 480p in-game. The PS2 smoothing is whats improving the quality. Turn off the PS2 smooting and those pictures are identical.

I'm now playing 'The Blue Planet on DVD in 1080i and it looks no different than 576p to me. 

Yep i' really struggling to notice any real difference.

As for the GOW pic if you notice Kratos is further back which will help smooth the AA. I agree with Bamf03 most of the improvements we are seeing are due to the new smoothing option.

Think about it if you set you PC screen desktop res to 640x480 and then change it to 1024x768 the difference is huge let alone supposedly increasing it to 1920x1080.

In addition I am along with many others still getting small black bars either side of the screen so if the image was truly being upscalled these would not exist.

Somethings just don't add up i'm afraid.

I wonder if it works better on UK machines that use the software emulation?

I'm in the UK and will get balck bars on either side only on 4:3 DVD's in normal upscaling mode. There is double and full mode in the upscaling. double mode will slightly make the screen bigger, seems pointless as we're talking only slightly and full mode will stretch to fill the widescreen TV which makes it worse in my opinion.
