That's what I love about my 60gig version it does do everything, all the models after only do some of it, and it's the only model to have hardware backwards compatability all the others that are backwards comparable are via software emulation, well except bravia sync, only slims can do that
The early versions of the PS3 were all reverse compatible, however sales were sluggish. That was due to 2 factors: the high introductory price, and the dominance of the Nintendo Wii in the gaming market. The PS3 went thru several versions, each one removing some capablities, but dropping in price as well. Now that the Wii tsunami has subsided and blu ray is really taking off everyone wants one of the new(cheaper) PS3's. Reverse compatiblitity has been removed from the PS3 for quite a while now, but alot of people weren't paying attention. I own a 80gb without reverse compatibiltiy and since I didn't have the money to get one before then I'm cool. I feel pretty confident that once the PS2 completely disappears from the market, that a firmware update will include the necessay emulator.
1st gens are the only backwards compatible PS3's. As well as having an SD slot.
Why they hell the changed it I don't know.
for money. they lose money for every system sold already, they figure most people that buy a ps3 buy it to play ps3 games, so they scrapped the emulation chip or whatever to save money on each unit produced.
im a 360 lover, but they scam us as well man, can you say XBOX POINTS, or PAYING TO GAME ONLINE.
i remember watching the intro for the new slim blk 360...
the guy said, ladies and gentlemen, this is the xbox you all have been waitin forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
and its not 2 me, big deal it has a 250 gb hard drive, and the fans are quieter.
it does have wifi because no 1 bought their $100 wireless card. other than the cool KONECT software, i spelled that wrong, its just a regular xbox, why hasn't micro soft added a blue ray player in the new xbox, MICRO SOFT IS A FUKIN COMPUTER COMPANY, WHY CANT THEIR GAME SYSTEMS ACT MORE LIKE A PC THAN WAT IT IS RITE NOW, PS3 HAS A COMPUTER TYPE MENU AND SETup

Even if you have to pay on xbox. It is defiantly better that the PSN. I have the 360 with live and I tried to play online with the ps3 and I dont like it.
PSN is free because its not as good as live. Id rather pay the $40(on ebay) a year for a better online gaming
