So? You're one of the folks that "will like the cinematic look of games when upscaled and smoothed", or did you miss that part? Others may "prefer 480p when available or perhaps even upscaled but not smoothed" (as it seems they at IGN do), or do you find that so hard to believe? And I'm guessing you also missed that they never said no upscaling was better, and that they just don't like the smoothing filter on some/most games (and always prefer 480p).
Well, I know I for one like the 480p shots better, specially if the HDTV upscales them nicely. There's just no sense in losing detail before upscaling - we don't half a photo's height before upscaling it in photoshop, now do we?
This is still great for people with HDTVs with crappy scalers, as the PS3 does seem to do an above average work at scaling. But really, really, really good would be re-rendering with upscaled textures.
Reality has a Nintendo bias.
