Forums - Sony - Sony: NO PS2 Backwards Compatibility On PS3, Never, Ever,

Oh well. I wish I could play MGS3 and SotC on my PS3, but I can live without them.

Man, why is sony so dumb. This is more important to me than bluray, wifi or any of that garbage.

List of PS2 only games I want to play/replay -
God of war 2, Gradius V, DMC3, Rumble Racing, MGS3, Shadow of the colossus, Onimusha 4.

List of PS3 only games I want to play/replay for the next year-
Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet, God of War 3

If I had a choice of buying a Sony console it still would be PS2.

Then get a PS2 if your interested in PS2 games

Blu-ray and Wifi garbage? Come on, seriously.....

Blu-ray is essential to PS3, obviously because it's games are on it, and Sony wants people to buy a PS3 for PLAYSTATION 3 games. I really don't see how that's dumb, but I guess we're all different for a reason.


Bluray is essential in its marketshare strategy and its profit margins but for gamers liek you and me it has turned out to be a complete dud.

Spirit of Dreamcast past is crying right now cause gamers suffer for lacking features due to inclusion of another media format by Sony...

Hmm, this is good advice actually. I saw a "trade 2 games get a PS2" at EB games. Lets see....FEAR2 and ...Rockband 2.

Done!

Ok then, if we can make such a HUGE fucking deal about BC, let's just give credence to the ridiculous Sony arguments that somehow an 360 arcade is really 400+ dollars, Elites are 600+, etc, etc.

@Akvod

For me its not about money to be honest. Its about space... Im planning to get a PS3. But this is my gaming setup...

To be honest, I dont have room to get a PS3 and a PS2. I want 1 system that does both...these are expectations that Sony put forward anywho.

You aren't one of those gamers that blames Sony for other comapnies' short comings are you?

No...only their own :)

I've thought about it some, and it comes down to this. Every PS2 Slim they sell makes a profit for SONY. They want to keep that profit. Every PS3 Slim they sell will still be a loss that they have to make up with software sales. If PS3 has BC then kiss PS2 Slim sales goodbye.

I gave my PS2 away to a nephew who can't even afford to buy a PS2. So yeah, I would have liked some b/c in my PS3. But don't wanna have to buy another PS3 to get b/c so I'd prefer a firmware update that gave us b/c by software emulation please. PS2 gotta die one day, on that day people will want some b/c on their shiny new machines. If they can do software emulation then there's no reason they can't make it available for sale through the PSN. There's no need to give it away, people who want it will pay for it. Some were willing to pay for it when they got their launch 60Gigs, now that the unit is 1/2 launch price I'm sure more would pay for it now.

PS3 has PS1 b/c mostly to play "classics" downloaded from PSN, PS4 oughta have PS2 b/c for the same reason. PS1 games of today are soooo dated in graphics and sound that they are bad in a good way, and there is nostalgia for these games. PS2 games are too recent to be bad in a good way, but by the time PS4 rolls out they'll hold the same place as PS1 games do today.

If I see the PS1 Oddworld games on PSN I'm getting them, guaranteed.
