Thanks...

So is there no way that you will ever be able to play PS2 games on Ps3?

I really wanted a 60GB ps3 but they discontinued them in the UK so i had to get a 40GB with no backwards compatability and i really wanna play games such as okami, final fantasy 12, god of war 2 and shadow of the collosus. :(

Nope they were not released at the time i got a 40GB in the UK, i still dont think you can get an 80GB in the uk at this moment.

So there are no backwards compatible PS3's in the UK. Sucks.

Yes it can.

Which I find it strange making all the new different models play PS1 games but not PS2 games why not the other way round?

If if they did make them all play PS2 games but not PS1 game people will complain.

Both systems have great games.

I have a 60GB so I'm fine .

There this really cool feature if you have A PSP you can remote access your PS3 and if your PS3 has lets say FINAL FANTASY 7 then you can play it on your PSP. I full of delight when I figure that out.

I don't know if you all get the MGS4 80gb package, but if you do, i guess you could always sell the system you have now and buy that package console. It may set you back 100$ or so but it sounds like in your case that's what you want. I've learned in the past, unless you are talking about an absurd amount of money, don't settle for something when you really want something else.
