Upscale will never look as crisp/sharp as native. That is an undeniable fact. I have been PC gaming for a looooong time and you can easily tell the difference between resolution and fps. I have played countless games where my PC was under-powered and I would have to lower details (AA off first, then shadow detail are biggest hogs) and change resolution just to have a playable experience. And believe me, while it nets the biggest performance boost, lowering resolution is the LAST thing you want to do if you want the game to stay pretty. It wasn't that bad when we had CRTs that could easily change resolution without having scaling issues, but nowadays with LCDs it is easily noticeable as they have a set pixel count and anything non-native to that has to be scaled and all scalers are not created equal.
Heck, for those of you who claim resolution isn't a big deal, go get a DVD and use it on a really good player that has a quality upscaler (like my Oppo) and let me know how it compares to a Blu-Ray. Granted, the resolution differences are larger, the fact still remains that it cannot compare.
