PS3 steps up PS2 games?

Actually, the PS3 does make PS2 games look better...

The PS3 (60/80 GB versions) have an upscale ability that help smooth the graphics on a PS2 game...one good example I noticed of this was Medal of Honor: Rising Sun....on the PS2 it looked like a colorful PS1 game, but on the PS3....considerable improvement. It looked more like a PS2 game than it did on the console it was designed for...

Another game (more recent of PS2's tech) that I read an article in that noticed this was Final Fantasy XII. They took a comparison shot of Vaan (main character) and had him stand in the same position (though slightly different areas) and compared the PS2 shot to the PS3 shot. The PS3 shots look a little bit smoother up close than PS2's.

Not to mention upscale helps do wonders for older games on an HDTV....so as long as you can get a 60/80 gig, it's all good.

As long as you get 60 or 80 gig PS3 you should be very well pleased. I have a 60 hooked-up to a 32 inch LCD TV and I have played a number of PS2 games on it even the ones I have finished on the PS2 because they just looked so much better. Like a poster was just talking about MOH Rising Sun. I played MOH Frontline and in so many areas that you couldn't see your target because of the simulated fog or a long range now I can see them a lot better. When landing on the beach on a PS2 I could never see what I was shotting at in the bunkers that you had to fire on to cover your squad members. Now I can get some open site head shots from the beach meaning I don't even need a full 8 round clip to get the member I am covering out of trouble (usually a single clip will free 2 members at 2 different spots.

Also in Socom games I can now see every target the team calls out and sometimes before they see them now with the set-up I have as long as the target isn't behind some kind of cover out of the line of site. I could never go back to a PS2 and a SDTV after playing on this set-up.
