Hmmm... interesting. Seems as if it'll have similar problems to newer model PS2s.
This article also prompted me to realize that I must treat my current PS2 like gold, for if it breaks the new model PS2s won't play One!
to be fair, ALL the ps2 models have some hiccups in them with backward compatability...
Most of those PS games that it won't play suck ass, anyway.
PO'd doesn't work anymore? Aww.
Cept Lunar 2. Doh! I must test this out when I get home. Good thing I still have a boxed PSone system as a backup. This is making me realize that at some point we won't have access to working consoles for many of these older games. But maybe by that point we won't care.
ssb
I remember playing Lunar 2 on my PS2 late last year....
Both Lunar 2 and Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo play on my PS2.
didn't work so well on a slimps2 i bought 3 months ago.
Yeah, 'cause it's not a problem on all PS2s.Quote:

As far as PS3 backwards-compatibility issues go, I'm just pissed that the system doesn't have a slot/support for PS1/PS2 memory cards. That's some stupid shit right there.

my old ps2 wouldn't really play SotN well.
I guess overall though I really don't give a shit if 360 or PS3 plays the old games. If they didn't have the feature at all I probably would'nt think twice about it.
My old model PS2 won't play Xenogears. That's the only problem I've had.
I think it's a blessing in disguise.Quote:

I'm sure there'll be some third party solutions for transferring old saves to memory stick, and there's bound to be some kind of adaptor for connecting PS2 peripherals to the PS3.
That'd be pretty cool. Of course, they could be saved the trouble if Sony weren't being assholes about this, but whatever.Quote:

It's not likely, but it could be done, and all those ethernet jacks on the PS3 need to connect to something.
There is only one ethernet port now. The router functionality was dropped.Quote:
