I bought a PS3 a few weeks ago, and the question of backward compatibility didn't hit me till I saw Parasite Eve on my friend's desk the other day.

He goes, "No, the PS3 isn't backwards compatible at all."
So I wanted to try and prove him wrong. I go home and put Socom 3 in for the PS2. "This version of the PS3 does not support PS2 data."

I insert XIII for the PS2. Once again, same statement.
I put in Final Fantasy 8 for the Playstation, and it starts playing.

WTF? So it can play PS games but NOT PS2 games?

there are certain versions of the PS3 that will, part of their way of cutting the price was to remove the backwards compatibility.

That has nothing to do with what I asked. You fail.

That's pretty lame. I really didn't know that.
Oh well. I can always hook up my PS2, if I need some old school gaming.

All PS3 systems are compatible with ps1 games, but for some reason they are not with ps2 games as far as I know, but how to save ps1 games? on the HD? hmm...

So you aren't able to save your games? I haven't actually tried. I just popped Final Fantasy 8 in and realized it worked.

As far as I know, the only PS3 that's has reversible compatibility for PS2 was the 60gb version. You can find on ebay and craig's but for a lot of money.
