PS3 1.5 firmware = my hero.

[Super Saiyajin Joshua]

I heard that the new firmware update was adding something that was supposed to remove the "jaggedness" of playing PS2 games on HD TVs. Well for me it worked great. My PS2 games look way better in my LCD than they did pre 1.5. If you havn't given it a try take a look. I think you'll be surprised. This don't look awesome or anything but they look way better than they used to. IMO anyway.

Way off my original topic but I figured I just post here rather than starting a new thread.

Anyone know if you can hook up the Guitar Hero Guitar controler to the PS3 with a converter and use it? Or is it not compatible at all?

Yep, a simple firmware update was all it took. Unfortunately for the haters it wasn't as "ZOMG! PS2 games on PS3 will look like NES games forever!" as they may have hoped.

Currently, it is not compatible with the PS3 at all. Or so they claim... Maybe with yet another converter down the road...

Damn! Guitar Hero is the only reason I leave my PS2 hooked up now. Sony! I demand another firmware update that makes guitar hero controlers compatible with the system.

Do you think they heard me?

Which wouldn't have been a bad thing if it were true; NES games had style. For all the technological advances they've made, 'style' is the forgotten element in game design anymore.

Having said that, I'm pleased to hear of firmware 1.5 because I'm still in the FF13 = BUY NOW camp.

Yeah, PS2 games are back to being the sexy minxes they always were. I'd almost convinced myself that PS2 games always looked as bad as they did initially on the PS3. Pretty much over the moon that they got this sorted.

Now we just need the ability to upscale the games as well, eh, Sony?

Nope, there is an adaptor that will allow the GH controllers to be used.

All I can find are articles on the thing but no place to buy it.
