The TRUTH about the PS3’s backwards compatibility…
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!

Its a shame Sony …
Its a shame Sony will not do anything to help , even if you don’t want to play ps2 games on the system, the fact is you paid for it anyway so it should work without so many visual problems like that. It takes some time if at all for the public to become even aware they have been scammed off 30% - 40% of what they paid for the PS3 by Sony.

Only the model with 20gb and 60gb of the US PS3 Console comes with the Emotion Engine of PS2, the other models of PS3 uses emulators. They tried fixing the bugs as well as they can, but it can’t be fixed completely unless they install the emotion engine chip again.
