PS1/PS2 graphics look like crap on PS3

Video Here --> http://www.youtube.com/v/IoCD9TwLrVs

When played on a PS3, PS1 and PS2 games look dramatically worse as the above video indicates. The big black box resizes the graphic output of 480i PS1/PS2 games at a lower resolution sans filtering causing screen artifacts and jagged edges. Like, jagged edges that somebody took a knife to. It appears the issue has nothing to do with the TV, cables, or your PS3 resolution setting, something only a firmware upgrade can fix.

Nothing a firmware update can't fix. Who buys a Playstation 3 to play Playstation 1 and 2 games in particular anyways?

I don't know if anyone would be ale to tell without the side by side comparisons. I do admit though i was hoping the ps3 would improve ps2 graphics

What a let down for people looking into playing not only their new PS3 games but their old ones as well...but yeah, I to think a firmware update would fix this issue.
