PS3 takes PS2 to a new level

So I'd given up on my PS2 games. I mean, I have a 42" plasma TV, I have to be honest here...when I plugged in myPS2 and started playing God of War, it just looked like crap. The game was meant for a regular TV, that simple.

But when using my PS3 with the HDMI cable, the system converts the signal to highdef, and so the images come out crystal clear even on the 42" tv. It looks *awesome*. The game is as beautiful as the day I first bought it more than a year ago...it's good enough that I'm willing to start it over from scratch to play again.

My only beef with it is that the screen has a reverse letterbox. There are two black stripes, one on the left, one on the right...but other than that, it's great.
