This just proves how unimportant screen resolution actually is, despite all the talk about HD.
The HD version is just sharper.
I am amazed how small the difference is.

Obviously you are not a fan of the series, but if you were would you pay 40$ for a blurry mess SD game from the ps2 era? I perfer to have the HD version for it's sharper textures due to AA, vivid colors, and Solid frame rate. I know you did not say this slimebeast, but I find it "funny" when wii only owners complain about remakes when every other game they buy on the wii "is" a remake with NO enhancements what so ever (gamecube to wii not that much of a difference IMO). It is like the pot calling the kettle black. This is obviously a game for those of us (me) who did not get to play God of War last generation (I had an xbox) and trophy whores like myself (guilty).

Of course I always prefer the best grafix possible, but Im not a big fan of putting resources into resolution, and I argue about this all the time with PC fans too.
For example, look at the small thumbnails in my sig. Even though theyre minimal, there's certain obvious qualities beyond the resolution that instantly show they are current gen grafix.
There's so many grafix effects that are far more important than resolution. Resolution is extremely over-rated.

Running a game at 640x480 vs 1920x1080... Insane difference. Try to run crysis on 640x480 (well if you could XD) even on the best graphics settings it'll look terrible.

No, it's not an insane difference. I have a high-end PC on which I play most games at 1920x1200, but Biosock and Oblivion look almost just as good when I play them on my X360 on my mommas SD TV.

Which is how big?
Resolution definitely means something, and if you have a 40" HDTV, then there will be a world of difference between running the collection and the originals on that TV.
If BioShock always ran in SD, it would look like crap when played on a HDTV.
The size of the screen is what makes resolution important.

My 1920x1200 screen for the PC is 24 inch, and my mommas SD TV is 28 inch.

Generally, I believe you start noticing the difference between 720p and 1080p when a screen hits 40 inches or higher. Seeing as your mom's 28 inch TV is SD, an SD picture will look better than if you had it on a 28 inch HDTV, because the picture doesn't have to be scaled.
I have played the God of War games on my 40" HDTV on a PS2, and the was picture blurry as hell. Playing the God of War Collection will be much better on my TV because of the higher resolution and the added anti-aliasing.
Both of these images are in the native resolutions:
("right click -> view image" to see the whole thing)
Of these two, the one with the higher resolution will be the better looking when blown up to 40 inches. That is why both the PS3 and 360 support HD output.
