Sony’s gay bunch of fagets for taking off the backwards compatbilty even if they did it to save money they just a multi million dollar company who won’t release a simple update that will allow backwards compabtlity just to drain those dollars out of the few remaining games their making for ps2 i have a newer 80gb ps3 and im pissed of at sony until they let me play ps2 games on my ps3 not that it matters but why can other people play them using their shitter ps3 60gb .

I have the 80 gb version of the ps3…. I got it on august 20, 2008 from the US. But, where I live doesnt have the PS store…. and I heard that theres a ps2 format pack or something out in the PS store… so is there any way to download that off the net? Also, is the firmware update out yet??? Thanks!

playstation 3 mmmmmmm. Why would you need Backwards compatability, if the game developers got of there arses and wrote new games instead of copying other titles off the playstation 2 the we wouldnt have to worry about it. Although saying that When do we Get the greatest racing game in the world and not just some shitty 6 track extended demo of Gran Turismo 5. We want 200+ tracks and over 1500 cars to be even worth my intrest. Nurburgring rules….

Unfortunately for some unknown reason Sony has taken any PS2 compatibility out of the PS3 system. Perhaps this is because they are working on a full software based emulator, perhaps they just hate us. Frankly I don’t know.
What I do know is that this change in emulation of PS2 games is only noted on their main .com website and not on the regional sites.

The 40gb does NOT play PS2 games at all. When I put a PS2 disc in , The CD icon comes up but next to it instead of saying what game I put in, it says PS2 disc unsupported format. I tried to play Final Fantasy X-2 but no dice. I cant find my ps1 games so I havent tried that yet. Im pretty sure it does play PS1 though. Im not too worried about it not playing ps2, because I still have mine. Although it would be so convenient to play them all on one console! I give Sony 10 points for making a great system, but minus several million for not having FULL backwards compatibily. Its not our fault you charged 300$ less then what it cost to make them :P I hope somebody got fired.

Someone has got to be able to do this, I’ve heard of Xbox owners upgrading there hard drives( these systems use laptop hard drives) and over clocking the memory, so I’m sure someone somewhere has already done this. I just hope I find out myself someday.
