No, the current playstation3 sold by sony does not play ANY PS2 GAMES

howerever, every model plays all PS1 titles, and GOD OF WAR COLLECTION is a remastered version of the GOD OF WAR GAMES ON ps2, and was released for PS3

Not quite true. It might not mean much to most, and it may mean nothing to many, but all PS2 Singstar discs will work with PS3 as long as you start your Singstar session with a PS3 Singstar title. This is a fact at least for all PS3 phats. I bought a phat in July 2009 and last weekend I successfully used 6 different PS2 singstar discs (including the very first singstar game) after having started the game with the PS3 Singstar Pop Edition disc.

It's not much b/c but it's still b/c, so saying there is no b/c in any absolute sense is inaccurate.

Dunno if that is of any interest to the OPer, but there you go.

anyway, i just hadda enter this thread: Stupid OF noob question... made me actually lol out loud.

and @ Lyrikalstylez, patience, is key, once the ps2 goes to sleep and sony suffocates it with a pillow, it's younger brother (the ps3) will finally get the riches (a huge ps2 library inheritance)...well hopefully anyway

Nope, I can't imagine it being of much use to the OP who wanted to play Kingdom hearts, however it is indeed interesting.

What an incredible waste of money...

I bought my PS3 to play PS3 games... if you want PS2 games, then buy a freakin' PS2.

You think so? I think this bundle was the ultimate edition of PS3. I bought this one for the same price when the PS3 was still around $400 and I have never regretted doing it. It provides me with a lot of Memory Cards (in the Harddrive, don't know how easy it is to find new Memory Cards of PS2 nowadays so), graphics smoother, 4 USB ports which I use regularily, SD Card for camera pics, ethernet cable included, chrome lining, and Metal Gear Solid 4 included when the game was around 40 or 50 bucks in the market. I honestly don't know how PS2 games watched through HDMI cables fair in front of component cables but I guess it should look better, right?

To me it was a great deal, especially when my PS2 died some months after I got my PS3. If I would be able to acquire another PS3 if mine fails, I would like this one once again. Wanting and affording are two different things though.

PS2 accessories are easy to find and cheap.

Buying this bundle made perfect sense back then - but getting it for $600 today is stupid...

In my defence, with a name like Lyrikalstylez an interest in Singstar isn't totally out of the question.
