    Can you use PS2 games with it?

    Cause that would kinda suck even though I only paid $20 for the game console and madden 08 due to the $450 in Best Buy gift cards I had accumulated from work....:up:

    Thanks :)

    I heard the earlier version did support backwards compatibility...but all new versions dont. They stopped making the ones that allowed for it, I am told for MFG cost reasons.

    ya i see on the box it says no. I got the 40 GB since I only use it for Madden and NHL hockey. I dont really bother much with any other games....I was wondering if anyone found a hack for it though:(

    oh well. Thanks for the responses

    I wonder if The Mor does. He tends to fill his free time by finding interesting technological ways to "stick it to the man"...

    Current PS3 mods will not allow you to play PS2 games on a non 60 or 80 PS3. I can make it so you can play any downloadable games (Warhawk, GT5 Prologue, Echochrome, etc.). The PS3 modding scene is very small because blu-ray burners are very expensive. So nobody commits the tedius time needed to get some good modding going.

    anyone think microsoft stuck with the dvd-9 knowing that the modding community would want the 360 over the ps3 since they could steal games for it?

    i have a tin foil hat on for this, but its a thought

    How hard is it to implement the dowloadable game mod?

    Then MS makes less with software sales. So probably not. I'm sure it was just so they could release their console a year earlier, for less, and not have much of a stake in the HD format war. The downside is that it could make also make their console obsolete a little faster.
