PS2 games DO WORK on PS3! > Proof with video, tested!

[Dave]

The rumor: "PS3 not playing hit PS2 titles"
Is untrue, lie! ITS MISINFORMATION!


Here is the proof.

Many people have tested old PS2 games, they all worked on PS3!

The memory card creation/selection looks really cool. I don't have any old PS2 games, so I wouldn't have a need for it but its cool nonetheless.

Instead of doing a bunch of copying and pasting, maybe this isn't the best etiquette, but this thread kind of got my attention and I hope you all can shed some light on it for me.

There's a handful of PS2 games I'd like to play. PS1, I couldn't care less.

Can I do it or not?

it's more of a most work, a few are glitchy but should work eventually... or so i gather.

I have read about this. Most ps2 games will work on the ps3. You many have a freezing main screen or missing sound, but nothing really serious. It may be possible to update the problems with a future update. Keep in mind that the ps3 is just out right now in Japan so there will likely be bugs and things that will need to be addressed.

USA Today:

Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE), Sony's game unit, plans to fix the PS3 problems by offering online upgrades for system software, SCE spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka said.

Personally, I'm not really worried about this.

Even right out of the gate, this is better than half assed BC setup that MS launched the 360 with.

JTK i am saying that PS2 games work with PS3.
I am doing this because some xBox fans wine that FinalFantasy is not working on PS3 but it is!

All of the games listes on AVSForum also work with PS3, some with small problem. SONY is making the update for those 10-15 game which will fix them too.

Nothing can be perfect and optimized out of the box.

Like I said before: I'm really not worried about this.


Here's a side question: Do I NEED the remote control to watch BD movies on this thing?

No. Just like DVDs with PS2s, you can control using the controller. Just a little clumsier than without a remote.
