You know... I bought the PS2 over the alternative consoles because I wanted to make sure I could still play all my PS games...

I think I kept playing (maybe) 2 old PS games for about 2 weeks before I completely moved on... I suspect that will be the case with this, for most people.

I don't see it making that big of an impact... besides... if you want to play that PS2 game that badly... just plug it in. What were you planning on throwing your PS2 away after getting a PS3?

Jesus... i still have my nintendo, super nintendo, sega genesis and N64 somewhere around here... i've actually been known to plug them in once or twice a year for laughs.

It's a big deal because it gives Sony haters something to bitch about.

Actually, the gamestop near me had a promo that you could trade in your ps2, 2 controllers, & mem card and they would take 100 bucks off the PS3. This is what I did. :)

I was planning on throwing my playstation 2 away, either selling it or giving it to one of my one of my nephews. I've got an Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Playstation 2, Genesis, Genesis C.D., a 60" television, an Xbox 360 surround sound, with mulltiple controllers and accessories for all of them! I've got too much!!! I dont want or need to keep the Playstation 2 when a Playstation 3 and its reverse compatibility is all I need! Just a simple hook-up, maybe thats all it is for you! All my friends dont have as many systems as me but they want to have graduating systems with R.C. aswell. I like playing the older games, like right know im playing Shining Force 2 for the Genesis, And if you dont have Final Fantasy 7 and Resident Evil(s) for the old systems than you dont even deserve to own a playstation 3......NUFF SAID!!!!
