I've heard that PS1 games look absolutely awful on the PS3. I was thinking of downloading some PSX classics from the PSN store. Do the downloaded games also look horrible, or just the actual PS1 discs?

Aren't they the same thing, I'm sure PSX graphics are going to look awful anyway compared to the games this gen.

So basically, no effort has been put into them whatsoever. On live arcade, I can download arcade games from the 80s' and they all look smooth and crisp. Symphony of The Night -- Also a PS1 classic -- also looks good on there. I like my PS3 in some ways, but downloadable games is not one of them.

Because it's much more expensive and the PS3 is usually flamed for it's high price.

Not really. I have the 60 gb PS3 and I chose Smoothing while playing the discs of Final Fantasy VIII and The Legend of Dragoon. The difference was obvious in that the rough edges were smoothed, but not enough to complain about.

Aren't high def TV's capable of displaying lower resolutions, though? I mean, you should be able to get PS1 games on PS3 to look at least the same as they do on PS1, right?

I thought the 40gb didn't have backwards compat? So you can play PSX games but not PS2?

they want people to be able to play ps1 games so they would buy ps1 games on the ps3 store. seems logical to me
