The PS3's maximum output resolution is 1080i. However, the actual quality of a game changes how good of a resolution the PS3 will output in. There are very few games that actually support output in 1080i and therefore you will rarely see that good of quality.
Of course you can. All models of PS3 can also play PS1 games with software emulation. Some models, however rare nowadays, also support PS2 games.
Yes all models of ps3 support backwards compatibility with ps1 games. The newer models only lost support for ps2 backwards compatibility. Its a common misconception that the ps3 lost all backwards compatibility. Also ps1 games look great on a ps3 running at 1080p.
A PS3 can play PS3 games and some Playstation games
Older PS3 Models with 4 USB ports will play PS2 games as seen on related PlayStation network link. All PS3 models with only 2 USB ports can not play PS2 games and there are no updates, downloads or additional hardware or cables that will allow them to play PS2 games. All models of PS3 can play PS1 games with software emulation.

you can't do that. 1080i games can be played with a hdmi cable or else it will be at 720p
Yes ther are 6 different resolutions your PS3 can play on. 480i, 480p, 720i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Once you hook up the composite cables or the HDMI cable it saves the setting automatically and therefore must change the settings again to go back to standard definition.
One with 1080p and 1080i compatability
Ps3 can output basically anything your TV can handle. What it comes down to is what the specific game can output, look at the back of the gamecase, it should say 720p, 1080i etc
It more that there are some that will work on the PS3
No, you can only play PS2 and PS1 games on the PS2.
The current versions of the PS3 will play converted (downloaded from the PS Store) PSone and PS2 games. Older, original PS3's (first release) support both PS2 and PS3 disk games. The PS3 will not play PC, Nintendo Wii, or Xbox 360 games.
Of course you can. All models of PS3 can also play PS1 games with software emulation. Some models, however rare nowadays, also support PS2 games.
PS3 looks better with the best HDTV and Connection available, but will look better on a HDTV with only the provided A/V 480i standard connection because it is a better TV. Quit even noticing what the games resolution is. On my PS3 with a HDMI connection and a HDTV 1080P the DVDs are upgraded and if the games are the not also upgraded they might soon be. Just like all PS3 have the upgrades available to play 3D. Your PS3 games will actually all look better (not just 3D games) if you were to connect the new PS3 3D display available in November 2011 or Upgrade to even any LED LCD 1080p HDTV .
Your PS3 works on all PS3 games except for PlayStation Move (without having PS Move ) and possibly 3D and then it takes the signal from working to whatever TV or HDTV it is connected to. If the Connection is the A/V 480i cable that came with the PS3 that will be the reception you get no matter what the game or TV is. If your HDTV is 720P the PS3 will upgrade everything to 720P including movie DVDs and not just games provided you are connected with at least Optional Component A/V cables and not the ones issued with the PS3
The Logitech claims it will support PS3 games that support Logitech force feedback, but it was designed for the PC. Amazon.com have reviews also saying that it works on the PS3
