    your out of luck then =P
    the emulation sucks compared to original hardware but atleast 70% is playable, thats better than none

    all i got was 1 controller and a console.

    I'll probably get this one instead of the 60GB, it has a better offer, but the 60GB has backward compatibility, hmmm, I don't know which one to choose.

    That's what I do.

    Since to Sony, Europe is a foreign planet, we only have the 40GB to choose from, so I just have my PS2 as well, it's annoying it takes up a bit of extra room, but it's no big deal.

    even though 60gigs can play all PS2/PS1 games there bad for the console. forcing a blue ray laser into a cd/DVD mode slowly damages the laser so backward compatibility isn't worth it (in my opinion)

    *stares at his 60GB*

    And the 80GB is backwards compatible, SJ. It's only the 40GB model that can't, that's why it had a massive price cut.

    No it doesn't. <.<; If that were the case, backwards compatibility would just be stupid thing to add. A blue ray laser doesn't 'force itself into CD/DVD mode', it just upscales the PS2 game instead. If playing non blu-ray discs was such a problem, there wouldn't be a market out there for blu-ray players that support upscaling, since all they would be doing is 'destroying the laser'? No manufacturer--or consumer for that matter--would bother if this was the case, and the product itself would be considered unfinished.

    The real argument here is that once you start using the laser to run blu-ray ROMs or not, your laser life will slowly die off (the expectation obviously is that this won't happen for a while) the more you use it. The question people ask themselves is if playing PS2 games on their PS3 is worth the laser life used to run it.

    Hmmm, not too bad of a deal. Uncharted is an actual pretty good game.
