Forums - Sony Discussion - The last day of PS2....

I would guess that just before the 2010 holidays, Sony will finally put BC in all PS3s via a firmware update and then finally discontinue the PS2 just after the holidays.

So you no longer miss suikoden 3?

well i still miss it. but i cant afford a ps2 now it cost 250 dollars here, because ps2 games are "free".

Do you really think they will put BC firmware update after?.... ummm, then why should I buy another PS2 for?... would it be better off just get a new PS3 Slim?



Nah, they'll only make ps2 games playable if you download them.

is there going to be any need to have a backup PS2?.....i thought that after the PS2 stopped selling Sony planned on updating all PS3s with backwards compatibility?

am I wrong or is this just a rumor?

also, I guess they will stop making the PS2 by the end of Summer 2010

When will it be the very last day of the PS2?... any one knows?...the reason Im asking cuz Im thinking about buying another PS2 for back up. I already had one a Slim PS2 that works fine. havin a spare is a great idea don't you think?

I already did that and bought a 90004 model for 99 euros. I have the 70004 also which is working for about 5 years now no problems yet. So i guess i'll keep my new as a collective item...



The PS2 is already almost impossible to find new where I live; hardly any shops (including game.co.uk and amazon.co.uk) have it in stock.

Well, nevermind. The old boy had a good innings!

Thats crazy for a new one. The games really aren't 100% free but i see that Argentina must have a high piracy rate.
