The 360 upscales DVDs ok, but its really all up to the image processor or software method used. ANA is a decent chip, but nowhere near something like a faroudja for DVD upscaling. That chip is found in many upscaling DVD players, in particular the ones made by denon. Still, there are even better alternatives, such as a Crystalio upscaller, but thats at a wallet busting price of $4000. Since the PS3 does not have a hardware scaler, I'm assuming its using software to up rez. In this case, the quality could be superb, but it could be crap. With proper software upscalling, you can get results equivelent to a high end scaler, and the PS3 certainly has the power to pull off those results. But it really comes down to how much time/effort sony put into this. That being said, the upscaling of games is probably just software emulation, but at a higher resolution. Its basically like any PC emulator you've ever used, and should be decent quality. This is the same way the 360 offers Xbox games at 1080p, and its definetly noticable. BTW, is larry just being kept around for laughs?
