why make a fuss for such a thing?
from your comments there u said.. "nobody cares if u had or never had 1 b4"
same goes for you, who cares about ur problem not owning a PS2 before..

p/s: it's not a 'backwards comparability' what are trying to compare here dood? it's backwards compatibility know the stuffs first before barking here and there.. if you're not satisfied.. make a petition, send to Sony.. i bet there's alotttt of users having this kind of inconvenience like you

Like that arh.. Then i think i'll add more $$ to go for slim then
Thanks for the advice 

Take it easy both of u, both of u also have ur pov. But dont need to hate each other right bcos of own opinion. Peace and happy gaming! 

reverted back to original firmware via USB before going online will let u off the hook.. logically lah..

but what if Sony are damn clever that inside the PS got somekind of logging stuff for any firmware changes..

never try never know..

so far no such case happened?

haven't heard so far.. 

not dare to try..

did u use the correct port?
why don't u try putting the PS3 ip into your router DMZ.. 

yeah.. follow these instruction bro:

1. buy slim
2. create PSN account
3. make sure u got internet at home (PSN id u can create anywhere that got internet access)
4. go online
5. add DrLaboo as friend
6. go and buy Battlefield Bad Company 2 or Killzone 3
7. lets knife, stab, melee, poke each others eyes online!

pity u bro,,im cant download directly from ps3 slow like hell need to proxy 1st,, but when come to online play no lag at all     

u already did a port forwarding..
have put the ip in DMZ..
no problem with ur internet connectivity..

maybe the game server is farkup.. for Crysis i heard the server is moderate, not dat good.. my friend said normally he will get 1-2 bar (in UNIFI) but still playable.. naruto i haven't try before..

u got any other online games?
just give it a try, if other game excluding those 2, is ok.. dat means the gameserver itself la got problem lah kot..

just a theory.. 

ok.. if situation like this..
the console is new.. then I mod the console via software way (idk what im talking about)..
and i play any game offline (never go online).. then i revert back the mod thing..
and i use original game and play online.. so Sony still will ban my console base on MAC address?

dude launched ps3 hv PS2 hardware in it(That why is US$800+ to produce & Sony selling for US$599 ) while PS3 slim don't hv anything about ps2.. btw only now Sony make profit from selling PS3 alone (Sony cut production cost up to 60% in 4 year, so u little b*st*rds can FINALLY enjoy current gen gaming  then start crying to mummy that ps3 can't play ps2 games , wat a big cry baby  )
ps2 hardware then it slowly degrade to emulator/software(cut cost) & then PS3 slim come, Sony totally throw a way the PS2 emu & other os(pirates  ) function.. So can cut cost even further & scare of piracy

+ even todays quad cores pc can't run ps2 emu properly without the right plugins let alone a 5 year old technology
while my dual core laptop can easily run ps1 emu smoothly
