GymJunkie Posted February 11, 2010 Author 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 updateThe 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 I hope its soon man cause I really want it. Thanks for all the info. its ture but i have not tried to play ps1 games Actually all ps3 will play ps1 games already Quote 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.

Miakehl Posted February 11, 2010 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 Incorrect. Only the 60GB had full hardware backwards compatibility. This was because they actually had the processor from the PStwos in them. They are also the only US models to feature 4 USB 2.0 ports, WiFi, and chrome trim. Due to lack of interest and as a cost cutting measure they removed the PStwo chip from the mobos and offered some backwards compatibility on the 80s and early 120s, however this was purely software accelerated and buggy with some(read: most) games. The newer ones do not offer ANY backwards compatibility as those of us that like to USE our systems that we payed OUR HARD EARNED MONEY for found ways to use the older games to do things Sony says is a big no-no. Sony is filled with doodoohead execs that like to tell consumers what they are and aren't allowed to do with the products they still expect them to buy, kinda like a rather large American company we all love to hate for the same reason. Btw, I have a hard/soft modded 60G that still runs 1.0FW. Take THAT Sony!
