so im finally gettin the ps3 but i need some question to be answer by ps3 owner. any info will be usefull.

1 I heared that the new ps3 in the market the 160 gb ones are not backward compatible is that true?

2 do the 160 gb playstation come with a built in vibrating controller or do i need to buy the vibrating controller separatly?

3 I saw a silver colored ps3 i really like it more than the black one, are there more colors for the ps3 console and are there cases to change the appereance of the ps3?

the first question is the most important one since i still play with my ps2 till today and if the new ps3 model cant play ps2 games i will buy an older model than can.

No it doesn't play PS2 games .. keep your PS2?

The new ones come with a dualshock controller ..

Have to import to get colored I believe ..

1. Not true 2. No (depends what deal you get) 3. Yes they are more colors but not in USA or Canada . You may have to void (break) your warranty if you want to remove the case to change color. bonus 4. the "best' ps3 to play old ps2 games is the 1st one *60 gb model. (the new ones 160 gb etc.. play about 85% of ps2 games) 5. bonus, if you have a hd tv get the right wires they cost 10 bucks online. The ones that come with it are basic

Well yes they do play PS1 games, but he wasn't asking that .. and your second answer can be confusing ..

ok

1 the new 80 Gb and 160 Gb dont have compatibility with PS2 games, all PS· model play PSone games.

2 yes the 160 Gb PS3 comeswith a DualShock3 controler, wich is the vibrating one (check the contents in the box)

3 the silver one was sold only in japan and for the moment there are no cases. my best advise for you is to get an old PS3 60Gb (as it is compatible with PS2 games and PSOne) and then get a better HD (350GB)

1. no backwards compatability 4 the new systems, just keep the ps2 incase u wanna play ps2 games.

2. all ps3s come with dualshock controllers so dont worry bout that.

3. not so sure about color u may have 2 import.
