Hey guys,

I don't know if there has been an official word on upscaling PS1 and PS2 games in the future but the idea has me a bit worried.  I am currently the owner of a PS3 so obviously I have the emotion engine chip inside of it.  While having near 100 percent BC was my goal with the PS3, some of my games look a little less than stellar on my TV...I want upscaling badly, especially for the PS1 games. 

So how about it?  Has there been any comment on whether or not existing PS3's will be able to upscale like their emulator counterparts over in Europe and soon to be ***/NA can?  Thanks for the help!

My Philosophy teacher did a cool presentation today, these were some of his main points...I found them really interesting...

...the Planet Earth will cross a dangerous line known as "Peak Oil". Gas prices will soar into the 10's and 15's per gallon and we will be reduced to poverty levels with the currently rich becoming only middle forbidden
--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil--

...the supply of freshwater on the Earth will dwindle, and then slip away. The oceans by this time will have become so polluted that the cost of filtering and then changing them into salt water will send the price of a gallon of water well over $10. People will begin to die as they slowly and surely do not have enough money to pay for clean drinking water. The atmosphere will be so polluted that the only rainfall will be Acid rain and harmful to all living things.

...in 2028 an asteroid a Mile wide and with the destructive capacity of 2,000,000 Hiroshima bombs will pass within 30,000 miles of Earth...the scary part? The computers the scientists are using to track this thing have a margin of error of more than 180,000 miles.

...BUT should said asteroid miss by so close, the Earth's gravity will pull it right back in as evidenced by the math behind THIS calculation of another asteroid missing us by 20,000 miles in 2029...and then looping back around and hitting us in 2034.

What do you guys think? This kind of stuff always held a dark fascination with me...
