thankyou!

Unlikely without an emulator I believe.

the 80gb wont come with backward compatibility, try and get your hands on a 60gb version, its the only one that has ps2 compatibility, although not all games work as the emulation is software based

Thankyou!

Haven't Sony stopped producing them? Including the software to run old PS games was costing too much.

That's rubbish !

Oh well I'll just have to keep my pink ps2 and play the ps3 (If i get one) on the tv down stairs!

yeh i forgot to say that, only console in production is the 80gb...sony say it is to keep the costs down, but more like they seen the ps2 was still selling here so decided to take the feture out the ps3, considering its still on the ntsc version

anyways i wouldnt bother with the ps3 and get a xbox360, then update the firmware :thumb04:

I have a PS3...the only sure way is to sign up to the PS3 network and you can download various PS2 games from ?3.49 upwards..

I did read somewhere that the 60gb did have backwards Comp, but not sure

Wee Dee was fortunate to get hold of one of the last 60 GB PS3's which are backward compatible and play most (but not all) PS 2 games.It's also a superb Blueray player, picture qaulity and surround sound are awesome.All in all a tremendous machine.

I was getting it as a blue ray player.

a PS3 is the same price as a blue ray player!

I want one but my mum won't let me get one !
