Thanks Sony for letting everyone know that guitar hero metallica can not be played on any other ps2 system except for the newest one. So ur telling me i need to schill out 100 bucks for the system and then another 40 for the game. I’m getting older, I dont play video games a lot anymore. This was going to probably be my last video game purchase and now i probably wont get anything from sony every again. Used to being loyal, but after they did this, I’ll just go with samsung. Thanks for ruining my day Sony.

Well I don’t know about everyone else but I am glad that PS2 is now under a $100, x-specially that way times are now with money and jobs being limited. My first PS2 I lent it to a friend and they trashed it. (MY BAD I KNOW) So now I have to get another one and now that it is more affordable I will get another one this weekend. WHOO HOOO!!!!!

how could buying a ps3 be a mistake?
have you seen the wii’s graphics? or it’s total lack of non-family oriented games?
Maybe you feel like you should have gotten a Wii because you haven’t bought the right games. Maybe you bought haze. Or shaun white snowboarding. Or some other lame game.
I’m not going to pick on you for your grammar, it’s too easy.
To make “ALL” ps3′s compatable with ps2 games, it would require them to ‘repo’ each system. I bought my ps3 KNOWING it wouldn’t be backwards compatable, because it saved me money and i didn’t need it, since i HAVE a ps2. If you want to play ps2 games, go pick up a ps2, brand new, for under $100! ‘New’ gamers don’t know any better, therefore, they are buying the wii. Their parents think they’re getting their kids exercise. The wii is the most parent friendly system. So it may have call of duty 5, and a few other mature games, but it lacks a good selection.
nintendo is dying.
wii will be the last system made by nintendo.
I would rather have a ps2 than a wii.
I would trade a wii for a ps2.
There’s a plethora of ps3 games to choose from, why not read some reviews before buying lame ones? Maybe your gaming experience will be better.

Sony is milking the PS2. Sony, you’re not going to win over *new* gamers, they’re buying the Wii. In fact, I have the PS3 and now I feel like I made a mistake and should’ve brought the Wii. Games on the PS3 are not there, despite what Sony is saying. Now, if you’re making all the PS3 compatible with PS2 games, you’ve won over *all* gamers. Bad call Sony.

I guess…I’m pretty mad right now, they said it would be a BIG announcement!! I told all my friends to get their wallet and go to any Wal-Mart and buy a Playstation 3 because it’s surely a price cut for the PS3… But what the hell….no PS3-related announcement? It could’ve been a game (Legend of Dragoon 2 for example) , firmware update 2.70 or a price-cut, a new IP…

I have a Playstation 2 since December 2000 too .. and I have to say I don’t know how it’s suppose to please their loyals fans who bought a Playstation 3… I’m happy to know that many people will be able to test the Playstation 2 from now on… but…Playstation 3 left in dust ???

That’s the trick. Everyone complains about all the extra equipment you have to buy for a 360, but they are over looking the fact that Sony is more or less doing the same thing. Instead of offering backwards compatibility like everyone else, they are going to make you buy a ps2 to continue to play those games. As far as putting it into the ps3, not going to happen as long as the ps2 is still on the shelves. Unlike Nintendo and Microsoft, Sony would actually rather you waste your money on old hardware instead of buying the new stuff. That way they don’t have draw so much attention to the fact that they have NO CLUE how to make the ps3 software work the way everyone wants it to.

This is the only logical explanation for me since the parts of the software that are missing are things the 360 has had running since launch and dispite everyone’s plees and complaints, Sony still refuses to add the missing functionality. 2.7 update? don’t hold your breath. They don’t care about the ps3. If they did they would act like, and they don’t. They’ve never done anything to promote that console. It almost seems like the only reason it even exists is because people expected them to make it, not because they wanted to.

@LokeSTL speak only for yourself there are many RPG fans like me, who “do” care and are very happy that I’ve mentioned it. That you don’t care… I don’t really care.
