I was going to add this to the "Thank You Sony" post but there is so much going on in there right now I thought I would start a new thread on this quote I found today.

How'd you like all those legacy games to utilize the PS3's upscaling ability and add new life to your favorite classics? Well that's exactly what Sony plans to do with a firmware update this summer, claims "Rumor Reporter" Bruce Kelly, whose sources tell him that the company is looking to bring 1080i/720p support to its upcoming emulator. Kelly goes on to say that Sony will add compatibility for select games in batches of ten or so, but hopes to eventually offer support for almost every title on PSN. We'll believe this one when we see it, but if Kelly does turn out to be right, we don't think Sony will be hearing one more word about that discarded Emotion Engine.

I think this sort of news is increadable. Yes its a "rumor" but if its true, I think that gives sony a huge jump on the next gen race. I can think of a list of games that I would go out and repurchase just to see them in upscale. This summer is truely heating up and I see a wonderful next gen battle on the horizon.

I don't know... With all these exclusives becoming multi releases, I don't think it'll actually give Sony a big jump, but perhaps it'll balance itself out in the end.

As far as legacy games, I can't really think of many that I'd like to see redone. Most of the games I've played back in the day were fighting games. Street Fighters, which would be pretty interesting to see on any of the next gen consoles (gotta be 3D for me.), but mainly for the ps3 and 360 for me.

And then the 1st Metal Gear Solid, granted it's on the GC, I'd actually want it on a console where I'm use to the controllers.

That's about it for me.
