Hi all,
Just became a proud owner of a PS3 320GB roughly 1 month ago.
Enjoying FF13, Bayonetta & Little Big Planet 2 now.
These are wonderful games & I believe more wonderful stuff are to come.
But...I just found out last week, something which I would call a disaster of a revelation...
I hav not owned a playstation console b4 (not even de PSone).
But I played lots of PSone games on fren's console n renting it at game shops.
That's how I got hooked onto the FF bandwagon (FF7, 8 & 9).
Being poor, I could not afford the PS2.
And so I had to bite my teeth everytime a new FF game came out. And so it was with FF10, X-2 & 12.
I missed them, but I knew I would play them someday...even on the next gen console.
And here I m, naively believing that all PS3s are able to play PSone & PS2 games (given the more powerful hardware, it should b a piece of cake).
Running FF10 on the PS3 would b like running Starcraft on today's quad core pc!
But hell no...the PS3 can only play PS3 and PSone games.
Yes, u read it right, the PS3 can't play any of the PS2 games.
What kind of shitty backward compatibilty is this?!

) 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
