I have no idea when.  It truly sucks, especially since its a blue-ray player.  having everything upscaled should have been there long ago.

I really hope they upscale PS2 games as well as DVD's soon. I bought my HDTV for the soul purpose of playing my PS3 on it. Now my ps2 games look crappy and or a tad less enjoyable.

Modifying PS2 games resolution is more complicated than it seems, it means intercepting calls to the GS. Sony is working on it tho.

According to what I read, eventually they're going to include upscaling at least for the European consoles without the Emotion Engine. Whether or not those of us with consoles with the EE will get it as well, nobody knows. I definitely hope so. My PS2 games look great on my SDTV, but crappy on an HDTV--and PS1 games look like crap on it either way. (And no, it's not because I'm used to the newer graphics. They look noticeably better on my PS2.)

I hope they do eventually come out with upscaling for the games. If so, once the price comes down a bit more I'll probably buy myself an HDTV.

Your LCD TV already upscales PS2 games to display it.  The PS3 needs to do more than upscale for PS2 games to look good.  It would need to do some type of anti-aliasing or something.

Are you kidding me? As of Sunday (XBOX Elite) I now play my original XBOX games in upscaled 1080P w/ anti-aliasing. My PS3 sits at 480P w/ anti-aliasing.

Come on Sony, keep up w/ the competition.

Maybe, they should ask MS how they pulled off 1080P upscaled w/ anti-aliasing for XBOX games on the Elite 360. Sony continues to drop the ball on the software portion of the PS3. By the way, Elite 360 now upscales DVD's to 1080P.

Sony has their work cut out for them.

 

well that's mostly cause the 360 has a built in scaler, a good one no less.  The ps3 has a scaler but it's only a horizontal scaler. 

Your correct. Let's hope Sony provides a developer's kit that enables the vertical scaler. In late Jan. 2007 Sony released a new developer's kit that enabled the horizontal scaler.

It would be nice to play God of War & God of War 2 in 1080P upscaled on my PS3.

incorrect.  Sony has stated that with the move to software emulation, it is possible that some games will be upscaled to HD.  They plan on doing it, but they didn't say when and what games.

Microsoft uses software emulation.  Sony has just moved to software emulation so we can be sure that we will also see that.

what really sucks is for the ppl that only have tvs that output 480P and 1080I. These games are being made in 720P so they get down scaled to 480P because the tv will not output 720P. Those are the ppl that need the scaler

It'd be nice if they do soon because I am planning on buying a LCD HDTV (relativetly small) so I can play games in 720p HD rather than on my 65" HDTV with 1080i and 480p, excluding 720p. SO, my games play in last gen 480p which is just plain not acceptable for a next gen box.

Problem is when I buy my new HDTV, and just by my luck, the upscaler will be introdcued which will upscale 720p images to 1080i if the TV doesn't support the 720p resolution.

Probably never. The PS3 has been out for almost 6 months and still nothing. I really doubt it can do it.

Fascinating.

If you'd like to talk about the 360's built in scaler -> Xbox360 forums.

If you'd like to compare the PS3's horizontal only scaler to the Xbox360 scaler -> System Wars.

If you're looking to troll and incur thread lockdown -> well, you're in the right spot.

Look who is talking about trolling. The guy who posted a fake picture on the PS3 board then posted it in SW.

It belongs in System Wars.

As does your argumentative tone.

Phil Harrison said that you cant turn off the EE. They will probably do something to upscale though.

First off, please learn to type in proper English.  This isn't a cell phone, don't use that garbled IM crap.

Secondly, I'd much rather have 98% compatibility with PS2/PS1 at standard def than upscaling but most of the thousand games on the software compatibility list working with noticable issues.

He put 'we' instead of 'were'. Big deal. If you want to comment on anyone's sentences I would recommend the sentence in your second paragraph, which really doesn't make much sense at all with that 'but' in there. Here's an idea: get off your high horse and focus on the discussion since complaining about grammatical errors gets us nowhere... Oh yea, and learn how to spell 'noticeable'... tool.
