NO. Just, no. Don't feed people that crap, false hope that the 40 will someday play PS2 games. Its NOT gonna happen.

I do, but playing my ps2 on my widescreen hdtv makes the games look crappy, much worse than on my sdtv. Playing ps2 games on my ps3 on my hdtv makes them look much better than playing them on my ps2 on my sdtv. I'm glad I got a 60gb, as I still play ps2 games. and PS1 games.

Playing games that can output 480p at that res. look much better than using the upscaler though. GHII actually looked pretty dang good on my PS3 with that setting. GT4's 1080i setting as well. But for games that don't have it, the upscaler looks much better than normal.
