Just so everyone knows, the upconversion of PS2 games is not as spectacular as you might hope. Most HDTVs have their own "upscaler" built into the hardware to convert the source image into the actual native display resolution. As long as you have the correct cabling (ie. component), it won't look significantly worse than the upscaled PS3 output. The PS3 does support a "smoothing" effect for PS2 games which does make a bit of difference to the output image, but again, it isn't as great as you might hope.

Good to know I don't need to buy the PS3 for at least another 1 or 2 years then and better start selling my PS2 collection then. Even with a component cable PS2 games look like crap on my TV, no progressive scan, means no upscale and since developers such as Square Enix were to damn lazy to put this in their games, while a Tri Ace already did about 5 years ago... the images don't improve at all and make them look like PS games.
