    Both of those games should support 16:9. Don't forget to toggle the widescreen support ingame before you switch to "Full Screen". Is your PS3 XMB in widescreen already before you go into the game? If not, you'll have to change the mode on your tv to full (or whatever else it's called on your set).

    HDTV Arcade has a snazzy list of games that support 16:9 (and 480p/720p/1080i/PL II/Online Play, though I don't believe it accounts for games that had online play but the servers are now gone).

    Edit - VVVVV I love your posts. Please never change.

    I've played King of Fighters XI for PS2 and Ridge Racer 60fps for PS1 on my PS3 since the 2.01 update, and I've had no problems at all.

    do these backward compatiblitiy issues with 2.00 and 2.01 apply to all PS3 models? or just the ones that use software emulation? I have a 60 gig and have never seen any problems as of yet.

    Yes, they're talking about the 80 gig (i.e. emulation troubles). The 20 and 60 gig models are fine.

    That's a good idea. I just say the hell with it and get a PS2 on the side.
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    Once you see what the PS3 does for PS2 games, you would never want to use the PS2 again.

    How is the upscaling over component? The component cables I bought for my PS2 aren't working on an HDTV and was already thinking about buying a slim system. I guess I could pay a little bit more and just get a 20/60GB PS3 and use it for backward compatibility as well as the must-have exclusives whenever they start appearing in mass.

    I have one HDMI input but if component works just as well I'll use it for my Satallite receiver when I get around to ordering DISH Network.

    It's the same as the upscaling over HDMI unless your cables aren't that hot. Surprisingly enough, my official Sony PS2 component cables left me with some noticeable amounts of noise in the image but my third party Pelican component cables looked fantastic. Your mileage may vary.
