Should I buy a ps2 for the sole purpose of playing ps2 games? Some of the ones I own look worse on a ps3, maybe its my imagination. I used to have a ps2 but sold it, should I get one again? Thanks.

i don't think minor differences in graphics quality warrants a purchase of a system. Unless, of course, this type of thing is really important to you.

Cool, anyone know when the next update is? Or how regular they are? I know they probably won't do this right away but it would be cool to check. Thanks for the replies.

if you keep on track of all your firmware updates, you shouldn't be having any problems with most ps2 games running on the ps3.. if I remember correctly, firmware update 1.5 fixed this issue... if you haven't updated your system, you really need to... Sony sends me reminders of when critical updates are released..

The only reason you should get a ps2 is for games like guitar hero or ddr. Unless they released that ps2-ps3 conversion cable.

yep, though it's still unsure how the quality of the emulation will be.
