And if you really hate PS3, there are other consoles from “those other guys” you could get. Yeah, some of ‘em have great games from the looks of it, but none of ‘em are quite as versatile as a PS3 is. I mean, you got a movie player, an Internet terminal, a media browser and, with the right gear, you can build the world’s most powerful desktop computer under $1,000. No other console comes close.

It amazes me every month when I see PS2 selling over 100,000 units consistently. Software is slowing down, but I still see plenty of new PS2 titles coming along.

I have a few complaints about the PS3, but the most relevant to this post is the lack of PS2 game support in the newer models. I purchased a 40GB PS3 in July 2008. It does not have PS2 backwards compatibility.

I collect my game systems and I have many older consoles safely packed in the garage. I’d like to put my PS2 to rest with the PS2 games I don’t play. But I’d also like to use my PS3 to play the PS2 games I still use. I need that extra space on my entertainment stand.

Please Sony. Add the PS2 emulator to the PS Store as a pay-for download. I would gladly pay for this emulator and offering it as an option is better than forcing it on people who don’t want it (like Microsoft does).

This post alone proves that people still play their PS2 games, even when they own a PS3. Please continue to support your community with the option to pay for the PS2 emulator on the PS Store for PS3.

I love my PSP, and I loved the orignal PlayStation, and the PS2. I also think Microsoft got it right with the Xbox360, and that PCs are still where it’s at. but eh I still have a large list of PSP games to get.

What we need now is for Sony to announce some of those third party exclusive titles they have been trumpeting and we know nothing about. Maybe then the systems will get back into the public eye once more.
