I don't really understand why SONY would not just add some filtering to PS1/PS2 games. Maybe it's an issue with keeping compatibility high. Does anyone know if the PS3 has PS1/PS2 hardware onboard or will it use emulation to play old games? Also, I would not be surprised if SONY added it later in some sort of firmware update.
ALSO, could someone clarify how the PS3 might be able to enhance PS2 games other than displaying at a high resolution?
Resoultion and texture filtering is about all they could do without messing with the code of the old games.
True, it should :DQuote:

what i meant to say was graphics improvements for older games. not backwards compatible :D
FFVII would look terrible with hi-def 3d and 320x240 backgrounds. How about the Wii, are n64 games 640x480 on the Wii? do the nes games have Filtering?
Filtered 2D pixels look ugly. Well depending on the filter type I guess, but with a regular tv you won't need any filtering for 2D nes games.
Will loading or framerate be better at least?
They probably will, I can't think of a reason why not with all that raw power of oblivion!:eek:
