Glad I own a 60gig.

But.. you think it would make sense..

People are still buying PS2's, if you tell them in ads "hey don't buy that, upgrade and get this and this"

But what do I know, I mean I just have common sense..

Sony: PS2 back compat not returning to PS3 (ever)

by Richard Mitchell 

If you've been furiously mashing the refresh key on your Joystiq machine (also known as a computer), waiting for Sony to finally announce that the PS3 Slim will reintroduce PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility, we've got some sad news for you. Forget that silly patent that filled you with base, vile hope. The dream is dead.

Speaking to Ars Technica, Sony's John Koller has made it quite clear that backwards compatibility will never, ever, ever be coming back to the PS3. "It's not coming back, so let me put that on the table," said Koller, quite simply. He added that, "It's not as big as a purchase intent driver as you may be hearing," saying that most consumers are purchasing the console for PS3 games and Blu-ray movies.

So, to reiterate, no more backwards compatibility from now until the world moves on. And probably not after that, either.

I have a PS2 slim, so this effects me in no way other then the fact i wont be able to Upscale Chaos Legion in 720p.

What jerks.

Guess I won't be buying a PS3 for some time until the price is sub $200.

Do you mean the price is AT 200? Since 299-99=200... I see no reason why it should be sub 200... unless you meant 199 XD

Well, I think the jerk part was a bit weird, but otherwise it's understandable that some people value BC... although the PS2 sold like 100+ million O.o

got u by a minute

except no1 posted in mine i must not be liked

How many new PS2 games are going to be released? If they release backwards compatibility they will just be promoting used game sales. Everybody that owns Ps2 games has or has had a PS2.

I don't get it.

Why are they jerks? Because they wan't you to play PS3 games on the ACTUAL PS3?

Oh, such jerks they are, seriously use your head.

But your's unpopular XD Hahaha, attention slut.
