Got a PS3, never had a PS2....what games to get?

@davygee :
Seriously, don't listen to all the people in this thread, some advices are useless.
I was going to follow this thread as advice to myself, but the thread has now a lot of fail.
Why?
Because I see nonsense recommended to you, like FF Tactics or Xenogears. These are PS1 games that were NEVER RELEASED IN EUROPE! Seems like some people answering to you didn't yet understand that you have a PAL PS3, and so, can only play games released in Europe for PS1 and PS2. And seems like most didn't check if the PS2 games they recommend to you even were released in Europe.
Fortunately, these are mostly very successful games that saw a release in PAL land, but AFAIK Suikoden III didn't for example.
Besides, don't take games like RE4 or Okami. You'd better get the Wii versions of these games if you really want to play them, or you will suffer playing downgraded games.
And enjoy your PS3 which IS as backward compatible as the US 80 GB.
I should do the same as you and go for budget games, but life is too short.
To me, the best feature of the PS3 is that there's no region lock. That will prevent us to have to mod our console to be able to play foreign games. That's how I could play Xenogears and FF Tactics for example. Sad...
