I have a Ps3... Should I get a PS2 Slim 2?

Hey everyone! I was wondering I have had a ps3 for about a year almost. But I have never had a ps2 and I thought all ps3 were backward compatible. But I think I have the 40gb one that doesnt. Should I buy a ps2 slim? Cause Im kinda interested in a ps2 now, cause I've heard that it has a great library. What do you all think? Is it worth it? Paying $70 for a used Slim ps2 is that worth the price? Or should I just stick to just playing my Wii and PS3?

Depends on how many PS2 games out there interest you ..

well let me tell you the PS2 graphics might freak you out a tiny bitNorty2

How did you skip ahead to just having a PS3....should've gone in order when you were younger, playstation, 2...and now 3...but whatever suit yourself. Recommend the Jak and Daxter games for it though....especially the 3rd one in the franchisephantom_blade66

You don't already have a PS2??? Get it because it has a giant library of good games. I have 4 ps2's in my house :pJfisch93

Nah, sony sorta gimped all the ps3s nowadays. Upscaling, smoothing, system reliablity, and clutter saver isn't enough to sony to keep it in the ps3.

2 options. An easy way, and a hard but a way that pays off. Easy way, buy a slim ps2 since they are somewhat reliable. Just overheating issues after awhile. Hard way, junk that ps3 on ebay or *god forbid* gamestop, and look for a 60gig or a mgs4 80gig bundle. Can't really say the regular 80gig, since its hard to tell if its the gimped version, or the one worth your money.

:lol: Well Obama, I think you should take it ..

If you're interested in playing a lot of PS2 games then yeah I don't see why not.

I traded in my PS2 and some games to get $400AU off my PS3, then I just bought another one for $50AU :D I went for the fat one though because that's all I ever had and just preferred the look.

I bought a PS2 slim when the PS3 was released. Totally worth it. Buy the latest Persona!! :D

Then later I got the MGS4 bundle... turns out it was compatible with PS1 & 2 games... oh well, lol.

Bright side is, more memory for my PS3 and doesn't get worked as much!!
