Or to Qore members only lol

If it's software, I wonder if there would be extra options? I would like my PS2 screen to actually atleast be 16:9. Even PS2 games that support wide screen, doesn't go wide screen lol

If people are so worried about BC, why don't they buy a PS3 that supports it? There are plenty of 60 and Motorstorm/MGS4 80GB's to be had online.

To be honest, I'd pay for software emulation. I have a 60gb, but it's an Asian PS3...so if they sold b/c software that would be region free, I'd buy in.

Yeah but there are always those bars on the sides. It doesn't fill the entire screen. GT4 supports 1080i. Other games don't have that.

When I was playing GoW a couple months ago, I didn't recall seeing bars. It could be your upscale settings.... or I could be blind:P

GoW goes 480p. RE4 on the other hand, doesn't change. I remember the last time I tried RE4, 16:9 didn't make the black bars go away.

Considering that Sony can't be bothered enough to improve on the graphics/AA/loading speed of PS1/PS2 games nearly as well as commercial emulators like Virtual Game Station (and more notably, Bleem! ) did, and given how quick they were in removing BC of PS3's on the market today, I definitely don't expect them to just add it back in without making a whole new SKU for it all over again.

Re4 is stretched 16:9. Even the wii port in widescreen looks like an early ps2 game. Better to let your tv stretch it to tell the truth. That or leave it in 4:3. To play in 16:9 without 480p, you have to change your upscale settings to full. Easy way to do it? Press the ps button during a ps2 game, and well.....you can figure it out from there.

As far as 80gig BC again? I don't see it happening, but it could. If it did, it would improve profits majorly. So many people just skip out on ps2 games, if they don't have a ps2, and move on. Though, look at all the new ps2 games that come out now a days. They look better on the ps3 anyways, so it'd be a smart move. I can REALLY see ps2 psn downloads.
