It looks like many of the issues with PS2 games are fixed, and that's great news to people who want to get rid of their old systems when they move to a PS3. Final Fantasy X-2 looks great, no jaggies or artifacts. Resident Evil 4 looks just as good as I remember. This is a big deal, and a large problem with the PS3 has disappeared.

The Playstation Store seems to be more responsive, it doesn't feel as sluggish as I move from item to item; pages also seem to load faster. It makes the process a lot zippier.

Peripheral designer SplitFish today announced that its EdgeFX gaming mouse is reaching stores. First-person shooters and similar action games are best controlled with a mouse, according to the company; the EdgeFX gives this option to PlayStation 2 owners without trading away the gamepad buttons that most games depend upon. The mouse itself includes the four face buttons from Sony's original Dual Shock controller and uses typical mouse buttons. A secondary left-hand controller contains the left-side analog and directional pads needed for...

PS3 looks like crap when running old and new PS2 games

That a majority of the games affected are games that do not have 480p coded into them. It SEEMS that 480i only games are the ones exhibiting this glitch the most. Changing cables from HDMI to component to composite cables does not rectify the issue. Changing to a non-HD TV without scalers does not fix the issue either. Firmware upgrade 1.30 does not address the issue.
Please list all games tested that exhibit this problem and if you can, post screen shots of what the game looks like on a PS2 and what it looks like on PS3 coming from the SAME...

When Bully was announced back at E3 2005 to a small closed door group of press it immediately garnered a ton of attention. Unfortunately it was the wrong kind of attention with numerous groups and a lawyer that should not be named claiming the game was a Columbine Simulator. These people went as far as saying the game should be cancelled and that it was irresponsible of Rockstar to make such a game. These people are also idiots. They were irresponsible for not getting all the information on this game before making these outrageous claims....

This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your PLAYSTATION 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card."
