Do your PS2 games look too jaggy on the PS3? Here's a semi-fix... [update 1]
We're calling this a semi-fix because not everybody has their television set up like I do (in Athens, not at home... this one rocks out with HDMI and such).

PS3: HDMI doesn't like you
The PS3 troubles continue to roll in. First the (admittedly minor) backwards compatibility issues, then we find out the PS3 can't run 1080i, now a new issue has come to light: some folks are having a rough time getting HDMI to work right.

PS3? That's so outdated! Who needs wires anymore?
Wireless HDMI? Are we insane? Apparently not, according to T3, who recently brought to our attention a creation by Tzero Technologies and Analog Devices. What do you need?
