    Downloading it right now. I'll test a few games and see how they do.

    EDIT: Just tried a few. Good and bad news.

    First up was FFXII. Main thing I noticed is that the fullscreen option isn't true fullscreen, much like how the 360 does upscaling. Second, it does support 720p and 1080i as well as 1080p. Third, I didn't see any ghosting or as many jaggies as I did at 480p. However, it does have weird vertical tearing issues, but this was the only game I saw it in.

    Second was MGS3. 1080i support really helped it, since it looked far better then the 480p support it was getting. I saw pretty much no jaggies and everything looked and played smooth.

    One bad thing I need to mention is this: I had music issues when I booted to PS2 games. On many of the load-ups, it had scrambled music. However, the home screen of the PS3 had no music issues. I do not know if it was because I had a HDMI cable, but it is a issue either way.

    Jasonkhowell - the only person with a ps3 AND a 1080p tv.

    Tell us how it is, esp the jaggies.

    I've got both. Now if only there were a good reason for me to turn on the PS3 and download yet another system update...you know, like play a game that wasn't a pile of crap.

    I've got both too (TV is even a Sony). I'm more curious to see how it upscales DVD's, but I might throw a Time Crisis in to see how it looks. :lol:

    I'll be honest I'm really disappointed with the upscaling so far in my testing. Things are better but overall still look like crap on HD.

    I don't have a PS3, but I do have an upscaling DVD player, and boy does it look good. The only issue is that my TV doesn't support 720p @ 50Hz, so to play PAL DVDs I have to use 576p :(.

    Does the PS3 have a built in scaling chip, or is it by the Cell or RSX?
