I have been playing an old PS1 game Lunar 2 on my PS2 right now. Of course you have to use a PS1 memory card to do the saves and loads. I like having backwards compatibility but, where and how will I get to my old PS1 and PS2 data from the current memory card system. I have yet to see a spot to plug the old memory cards from PS2 and PS1 into the new PS3. If anyone has this information that would rock. I would like to play my old games again on the new PS3 but I would like to start where I left off. Not all cause some just don't matter but others I would like to start where I left off.

will you be able to play espn nfl 2k series on it cause that'll be a great thing?

Perhaps the author should fact check before talking out of his arse! The current backwards compat list for the 360 lists over 200 games that are certified as compatible. That is 10x the number listed in his PS3 fan boy article. The only thing that is seriously backwards here, is the authors ability to check facts before making incorrect statements!

For those that want the truth:

That is a far cry from 20!

For the classic games you own. But nothing to do with your next-gen expirience.

This is a funny story. I also heard in one of Sony's BC testing that 40 PS2 games couldn't run on the 'god-like' PS3. Sony talk out of their @sses!

I grew up with Nintendo since the regular NES so their B/C is more appealing to me. As huge of a fan I am of Xbox. Neither Sony or Microsoft have accompolished anything near Nintendo, yet alone been in the videogame biz as long!

i am happy cause i missed on alot of final fantasy games(1-9) so i will be playing them with warhawk, UT 2007, DMC, metal gear and heavenly sword.

Because of the small library of games. After a while though, as the amount of games increase, people start to forget about it. I can remember playing Halo 2 every now and then around the first few months on the 360's launch. But slowly as GRAW, Oblivion, and BFME 2 have come out, I have no interest in playing old Xbox games.

i was just passing this along. what did i do wrong?

Nodoze i didnt type that i was just passing along something i found while searching google. im sorry to give incorrect information i wont submit any more news.

I agree with 13. But I also have to say that BC is important and thats why I always like the PS2 and Im interesting on 3. Backwards is so important that even Nintendo want its Wii play old NES games. Even after an overdose of nextgen Im goig to have fun with my old games, thats the reason I bougth them. Even better could be if the new hardware could improve the old software. Just imagine playing your old games with improvements in graphics. I hope the Ps3 could improve, maybe with some anti-aliasing and texture definition, my collection of over 70 PS2 games. something that the 360 didnt do to my collection of over 40 Xbox games.

NJ is a racist liar and multiple account user who censors posters against him.

Well isn't it nice that no 360 owner votes lame by such a great news for the PS console. As PS fanboys always vote lame on 360 articles like this one.

I am glad actually that you can play some PS1 or PS2 games when the console launches. The PS2 games certainly look better then most of the ingame footage of PS3 games that's around right now. Only game for launch that looks interesting is Heavenly Sword if you ask me. But is that a system seller?

i dont think heavenly sword is a system seller but im not buying ps3 cause of one game. im buying it cause of warhawk and heavenly sword. i know when people see that i said warhawk there probably like what in the world. but i believe warhawk is going to be great it just seems like a fun game even though i havent played it acourse im just talk about all the recent videos not that 05 video.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
