there's no way wii could emulate games from any disc based console - besides dreamcast was a little weaker than ps2 so how come wii could emulate it when it's not even possible for ps3 to emulate ps2 games via software update?

It's perfectly possible, Sony doesn't want it, however.

 

 

Yep. Sony makes money on the PS2 hardware, so keeping BC out of the PS3 "encourages" more recent buyers (like myself) to buy a PS2 if they want to play older games.

A bit annoying, but at least now I have a tiny PS2 that's easy to move around places.

As do I, hehe. I actually have 2 (fat and slim, both in perfect working order).

Interesting stuff about the discs... a dire solution for more space, really. I hate when scratches start to cause probs with games. Another interesting fact is about the black playstation disc - these are actually very scratch resistant.

And thanks for your help, seth. ;)
