It's in this thread first post.
Direct shots in one hour, and someone asked if RE4 lacked this issue, if you booted it in 480p mode it didnt have it, but regularly (what I did) it had it horribly. Anyway all is fixed now, its the hotness.
Outbreak online: I'll test it when I get home (1 hour). Boss is coming, afk!

Here is M3wThr33's pics of Kingdom Hearts 2 and some other assorted PS3 BC shots.
Direct captures.
PS2:
PS2 (w/ smooth texture mapping - see note):
PS3:
What I noticed was, the PS3 lacks the option the PS2 has to smooth out textures. This however screws up any textures which use transparency, as you can see on the tree in this shot in silent hill.
Also the PS3 moves the image left by about 2-3 pixels and up by around 1 pixel.
I couldnt get direct PS1 shots as none of the PS1's support component video out and it wouldnt really be fair to use a different lossy cable for it against component on the ps2 and ps3.
Other than the differences above, SH GRAPHICALLY is fine, however when you shoot your pistol in the game the audio freaks out on the PS3. I think Silent Hill itself is coming through using the 4D power of your PS3 and trying to infest your home when you shoot.
Anyway, shots of PS2 games next.
PS1 Status: Identical to PS2's standard mapping. albeit slightly darker.

Holy crap I'm glad we europeans we'll never have to deal with this shit. You lab rats did your job well. 
Now they should fix the 720p problem with Blu-Ray movies before March and everything will all be perfect. Yay!

Well, if they fix the 720p problem I personally won't have to worry about anything else. If they don't, we'll both wait for the April update.
PS3 outputs a more blurry image than PS2 when doing PS2 games!
:lol But seriously, see for yourself. Subsistence is noticiably blurry when using the PS3, and clear as a bell on the PS2. Nothing else other than that to report besides the same brightness difference, but damn, this sucks :\
PS3 (blurry)
PS2 (fine)
Im going to test more games with this to see if this is a system wide issue.

So BC is all fixed up now? I won't need to keep a spot open in my entertainment center for my ps2 anymore, right? If so I guess I'll be buying a ps3 next month.

Obviously not, as theres no way to capture HDMI without HDCP on the PS3. There is no 480p here, both are running in 480i as theres no 480p capture cards readily available to the market right now.
Im using component cables on both. Im testing RE4 now.
Re4 has it too, so yeah ;\ (Pay attention to the bullet, its most noticable there) Hard to see it with RE4 though, given that the whole game looks pretty bad since its running in a lower resolution.

Does it still fudge a 480i image over 480p by using artificial (system-internal) interlacing?
My HDTV automatically converts 480i into 480p - and I was pretty shocked to see interlacing happen on PS2 games. By setting the PS3 to 480i ONLY, I got a real 480i signal that my TV converted.

See now? (blurry is obviously ps3) and its not AA, if it were it wouldnt be affecting textures and we still see pixels.
Notice how even snakes hunger meter is affected? This tells me that its likely the PS3 stretching the image out or resizing it improperly, im not sure. Perhaps some more educated folks can chime in.

Here's your link:

It still says version 1.32 for some reason, but you can check to see if it downloads the new version. I've done an update from USB this way (version 1.32) to see how it worked and it went fine. Make sure you have the update in folders with the correct names; insrtuctions are linked below:

I think it may be getting overlooked because most people here don't consider it a major issue. Hell, the screens you posted were practically indistinguishable from one another. Did this really need a seperate topic because people weren't breaking out the torches and pitchforks over it?

So basically if I squint from a few meters away from the TV I'll notice the slight blur on the health bar?

Exactly. The game is nearly unplayable now.
This is exciting I had passed on playing some PS2 games near the end of last year to save up for the PS3 (thinking I could just buy them on the cheap later and play them on ps3) when there was an issue on BC I just thought I would have to pass. Now I can finally play Valkyrie Profile 2 without having to worry about issues.
