PS3 owners chime in vs. upscaling???
So I have the PS3 hooked up to my 1080p hdtv via HDMI and the ps3 games looks absolutely fantastic and so do the blu-ray movies. Now my question is I played my regular dvds through my dvd player via composite cables (480i, I need to get component 
). Anyway, I was gonna buy component to bring it up to 480p but then I remembered the ps3 upscales regular dvds.
So I took out the dvd (OZ season: 4 disc 1) and put it in the ps3. Put the settings to upscale, hdmi, full screen, etc.....Checked output via tv remote and says 1080p but I didn't notice any difference at all in picture. Anyone have any ideas?
I remember it saying that if its copyrighted it won't upscale or something but aren't all legit dvd's copyrighted?

True, however being that it can upscale it should surpass the image quality of my 4 year old panasonic dvd player, even if it's by a little.
