I don't know, man. I have issues buying stuff again that I already own. It's kind of a big "fuck you" to me.
Oh crap, I just assumed it would allow you to use old Dreamcast discs!! I totally forgot about (or perhaps wishfully ignored) the PSN listing
Either way, it all seems like the first tears of desperation from Sony.
While I would prefer running my PS2 games on the PS3 and possibly upscaling them, I really don't mind just hooking up my old PS2. In fact that's what I'm doing now! I'm playing
MGS3 Snake Eater since I never got around to it, oh so long ago. I'm also trying to catch up on FFXII. The PS2 really needs a classic SD TV though, everything looks so crisp and clean on it.. On my LCD all the flaws are so brazen, even with NR (Noise Reduction) and stuff. It's just not the same.
Apparently some games on the PS2 have HD modes when you use a HD connector instead of the basic A/V. In
God of War 2 it's a cheat option to activate HD mode.
