why do my ps2 games look a lot better with ps2 upscaling even though im only using a sdtv. before the upscaling they looked really bad now they look like how a ps2 would play them. i expected them to look better on hdtv, but why sdtv too?

Probably a little refinement and jaggies get smoothed out.

With more memory and graphics power, the surface textures are better displayed and edges appear finer. Just like when you play a PS game in a PS2, the surfaces of things don't get all pixelated as you get closer to things. There is also less "fill in jump", so you usually don't have a tree pop out in front of you, because the PS3 has much greater display capability.

Just for the record, blu-Ray movies look better on a SD TV over a DVD too. So if you can't affort a HD TV yet, that's no excuse to not get a HD player/PS3, because you WILL see a difference, even on SD tube TV.

If you have smoothing turned on, that's probably making the difference.
