The TRUTH about the PS3's backwards compatibility...
Uploaded by: slurrey
Video Description:
FIXED in firmware 1.50!
PS1/PS2 upscaling in 1.80! But it's not REAL upscaling. Why? Cause the polygons themselves aren't rendered in high def, the entire image output is just put through a filter to make it look upscaled. The same method is used for upscaling DVD picture quality to 720p/1080i/1080p.
============================ The glitch shown in this video only occurs on firmwares earlier than 1.5! Discussion thread: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3 &thread.id=808212&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
ZDnet news article: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=190 High Res Version: http://www.themasors.com/videos/ps3_bc_quality.wmv (Thanks Beau Griffin) PS anyone who thinks I'm a fanboy is a moron. I want this issue fixed just as much as anyone else.
