  • i heard that sony will never add ps2 compatibilty to ps3 anymore. it's true. i read it and i'm dissapointed. i mean i understand that they discontinued the emulation chip because that's what made the ps3 worth 500$, but why can't they sell an installation cd for ps2 compatibility for 30-50$. wit the ps3 u can play dvd's so u don't need to connect a dvd, neither a cd player, neither a blue ray player, neither a ps1 console, and they ruined it not wit including the ps2. did sony ever hear of space

  • the entire ps2 sells for 90 bucks. optical drive, network chip, memory, cpu, gpu, controller ports, case, 1 controller, power supply unit, video cables, boxing etc. sold with a profit fot 90 bucks. EE+GS will not set you back that much so it's no excuse for ditching ps2 compatibility. i would pay 50 bucks more so I can play ps2 games with my hdtv improved graphics and all. sony dropped the ball.

  • I want a PS3 with backward compatibility so I can play my GTA 3 era games what do you strongly suggest I should buy?

  • @flatbob123 what's that call

  • @HeavenlyLili

    They tried that with a previous 80gb model with 4 USB ports in a patch and it was even more faulty than the 20-60gb ones. Besides, I am no longer in the PS3 for the backwards compatibility when I can use the PS2 for that. This is because certain games mess up if played on a PS3, you need an adapter for older accessories, and there is the control lag that even Sony can't fix it. I was able to fit the PS2 & 3, Wii, Xbox, and VHS/DVD combo player in the same space.

  • there is an app on the psn store where you get a software update for ps2 data

  • PS1 works great on my PS3, and that's where the best FF's were (7,8). I haven't tried PS2 yet, though I still have my old PS2 console in a closet somewhere if I really need it.

  • still have my ps3 ceche01 motorstorm edition.. mine only have the ps2 software emulation still kicks ass tough.. i have ps1 ps2 ps3 in one console not to mention those emulators lol epic console

  • wow, it seems everyone but those with the first generation PS3 have BW compatibility... (I'm one of those lucky people! :D)

  • @d3vils4t4n they stopped making them yes but their still all over the place just go to any game store and they usualy have them floating around

  • when sony stops making ps2 how people (like little kids) gonna play ps2 games because i dont think they like to play ps3 games

  • I think it bullshit that you can only it on ps3 backup compatibility it really bullshit ok it's
