I cried when I heard the new PS3 didn't play PS2 games. My parents might've gotten it if it could do that. But now they won't because they don't want to have another game console and keep the old one. f### you Sony. f### you.

That's the one I have, the best PS3 there is... only downside is that they are not in production anymore. :(

Lol, to change the subject slightly; I work at Wal-Mart and my store is selling PS2s for $60... I remember paying for mine and it was $400 or about that. I'm going to buy a couple just because their cheap.
Interesting...

IIRC, they actually put in a copy of the PS2 hardware into those models, which is partly why sony lost so much money on them.

It has a processing chip from the PS2 slim, so I suppose you're partially right.

With this recent price drop, I might actually consider getting a PS3 if I had any sort of income. It's apparently a rather good Blu-Ray player, at the very least.

Graphics Synthesizer and "Emotion Engine" CPU, to be precise. IIRC the latter was dumped.
