PS3 Information.

[sage]

When I bought the PS3, my service person told me it could play PS2 games. I have the 80gig one, but we couldn't find a snowboarding game so picked up 1080 for PS2 but it won't play....was he wrong or is there only certain games that play on it??

80GB PLAYSTATION®3 System
This product has limited backward compatibility with PlayStation® and PlayStation®2 format software. Many PlayStation®2 format software titles operate, but full compatibility is not guaranteed. Updating the system software may improve compatibility.

The only model that plays all PS2 games flawlessly is the 60GB PlayStation 3 console (discontinued).

Sony screwed up on this one IMO. Every other console had backwards compatibility, why cant the PS3 have the same

[General Lee]

why would u want to play a crummy ps2 game on a ps3 the reason they come out with newer systems is because the games have better graphics IMO

[Stickler]

yes that is true but why have 2 systems when you can play both PS2 and PS3 games on one system. Saves a bit of space IMO.
