Can someone please explain to me why on my 120 GB PS3 I have the ability to create a PS2 memory card, but I can't play any PS2 games? Seriously? Are they going to release a firmware update to enable PS2 support? Hell, I'd even pay money for it if they did.

It's too bad that all of the "awesome beasts" are dying this year like mine did.

They're still using the same firmware on all PS3s, so that option is gonna show up. The thing is just that it doesn't have the hardware capability to do anything with it besides file management if you decide to import PS2 data for some reason.

Pretty sure its for when Sony start releasing PS2 games to download from store-Probrably once PS2 console sales bottom out and thats why Sony did away with B.C. too-most likely.

They still have that there because those PS3's can still play PS1 games and that's why the memory card feature is present.

Same here. I didn't even get my same unit back, Now I cannot even access the HDD that was in my original 60gb(320gb) so all my save games are gone. I'm out $180 and I have over 100 games. Good thing is that the replacement unit has brand new plastic and is shiny as all heck. Looks brand new. Oh well. I guess it gives me something to do now.

well I "envested" $500 + accesories for my 20GB so I don't need the update. Buying old ps2 games on the psn would be grat though! as long as they're reasonably priced...
