What everyone is trying to say is that one cannot play a PHYSICAL copy of a Playstation 2 game into that of a PS3 system

And therefore I don’t play at all since entertainment has become another marketing stunt not fun anymore.

I have (3) PS3′s in my house with plans that also did not turn out for my use as well. This was because they made access rules that made it impossible to use for the purpose I intended to and was told I could upon purchase. I will likely pass this time around because of the history… otherwise the idea would have looked awesome.

That is why all of the old systems that were never connected to the internet can still play the old games. All the slim consoles shipped with the new software update. There may be a way to get that old firmware back?

its there in options to make a virtual card and mount it to a virtual slot.
and it plays the games just fine after that. But some stupids like to comment before checking. Grow up kids.
