GymJunkie Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Someone came into work the other day mentioning something you can now download onto your ps3 from the ps3 network that will allow you to play ps2 games as well as 1 and 3. Any truth to this? Where exactly is it cause if it is true, I cant find it. Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

littleitaly1990 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I don't know about you, but I can play every ps2 game I own on my PS3...Right off the batt. Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymJunkie Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thats because you most likely have the 80 gig system which is 100% backwards compatible, Sony stopped making those Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

Torres Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 isnt it a hardware piece that's needed to play ps2 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't live up to the new powerful games on the PS3. Quote A vitrolic, megalomaniacal sadistic psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymJunkie Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Idk, I was told it was a software issue that the ps2 discs used a much more difficult program and it eventually burns out the bluray feature. I just figured maybe Sony figured out how to run ps2 games without burning out the eye or w.e Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

It just doesn't live up to the new powerful games on the PS3. Yea Im pretty sure I will have to do what I originally planned, trade in my 40 gig and get the backwards compatible 80 gig, only thing that sucks is I will lose all my data :-( I hear yea on the games not comparing, but I also have a 360 and any game that is also on the 360 I will just play there, my ps3 is for ps3 only games, the bluray, and hopefully soon also my ps2 games cause I love my old games Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

joni13 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 From what i've gathered with my talks with sony (i talked to them through our vendor support at my job) is that it is a PURE software block and when they are ready to let you play ps2 games it will be in an update The reason why is because i ps2 costs like 15 bucks to make and they sell it for 100 bucks pure profit stores only make like 1 off of them Ps3s cost alot to make like 25 dollar proffit for sony and not very much again for retail stores HOPE this helps and im not just pullin it outta my ass Quote RIP The 03 prix!
