Even if there is BC in the next update, how the hell am I supposed to use my memory card? New PS3's don't have memory card slots and I don't want to start all of my PS2 games again..

Won't matter if this doesn't come true.

There is a usb converted for that, I got it free a while ago, really I never used it. Even though my PS3 can play PS2 games, I only did ONCE!
This would be fantastic! Except for the fact, I JUST (3 days ago) bought a used PS2 and the God of Wars series ... ICO/Shadow Colossus just to catch up on some story line for the future sequels of GoW III and The Last Gaurdian ... So, they're letting you download / buy PS2 games from the 'new' PS2? (rumor of course)

when the PS3 1st launched Sony released an memory card adapter for $15 which allowed u to transfer ur PS1/PS2 saves to PS3 HDD. but starting over is not all that bad
My 60G PS3 just got YLoD this morning, so after Sony telling me it would cost £145 to repair, I exchanched it for a re-con one at Gamestation for £39 and a bag of magic beans.
Was wondering whether to wait and see what's announced next Tuesday, but if it does turn out to be this (which I doubt), the 60G PS3's would loose their value and I'll be soiling myself in merriment!

Not really 60GB are the only ones that have actual hardware B/C and not the software B/C meaning the 60GB will be better at emulating the PSone/PS2 games

u should have just joined cp and got one for free lol
There is a lot more to the graphics emulator than what was needed for the Emulation Engine emulator that makes any type of PS2 emulator for the current PS3's something that most likely will never happen.
I hope this is all true. PS2 needs to die already. IT will move more PS3's and allow Sony to focus more attention on the PS3 in general. I really just want b/c though, that's it. Give me b/c and I'll be happy.
If it is true, then this is the best decision Sony has made in a long time.

Best and the word Sony do not belong in the same sentence. They have made so many half-assed decisions over the past few years its hard to have faith in them delivering something useful and great. Nevertheless, I'm going to try to have some faith in Sony.
I pray for B/C for all Ps3 console owners. Not just select models. :[ That plus a ps3 price cut would surely help ps3 sales.

You can buy a memory card adapter that plugs into your USB and it will transfer your data from there into an internal memory slot on your PS3. They're only like $10

The PS3 never had any PS2 memory card slots. Those were media card slots (SD, CF, and MS). The only way to transfer your saves is through the aforementioned USB adapter.

Not really 60GB are the only ones that have actual hardware B/C and not the software B/C meaning the 60GB will be better at emulating the PSone/PS2 games Why do people forget that the 20gb also had full hardware emulation?

No the 20 gig didn't need a emulator because it had all the hardware needed just like the NTSC 60 gig had. These were the only PS3's that didn't have a emulator to play PS2 games.
So they're saying it is most likely the "New" PSN is going to have PS2 BC, because of a "recent" patent for PS2 emulation through the Cell?
Firstly, that patent was made last December. Hardly recent. Secondly, why are they making it seem like a new PSN would be required for PS2 BC? All it would need is a FW update and a space in the store. I don't remember the Video Store requiring a new PSN. Hell, they could just put the PS2 games in with regular Store updates, like they do with PSP/PS1 games.
This reeks of a small site just trying to get hits. Of course, I'll happily eat my words if I'm wrong.

Isnt ther an adaptor you can buy for that problem. I honestly believe ive seen them at stores but i could be wrong
that would be great, now i could play PS2 games again :) , i wonder if it'll use the HDD for PS2 save games or through usb..emoticedmar
My 60GB uses the hard drive. If, and I do stress if (because it seems like facts are either being overlooked or stated inaccurately), they do somehow restore PS2 BC, I don't see why it would be any different.
woohooo!!! so where did I put my dusty manhuntcopy???...
philosophy666
how was the game? The game was is and will be bad-as* I might finally buy manhunt but what system should i play it on. PS2 or BC PS3 Im sorry those of u w/o PS2s or BC PS3s dont know what ur missing
I believe there is no difference between ps2 and BC on ps3.
Game is gory and great. Manhunt 2 for ps2 is better because of the gore. Bought uncensored copy that here is available only illegal.
If it's a illegal copy it may not work on the PS3 because of copyright protection. Yeah I know that but nobody's gonna force me to play censored manhunt - I can't play censored games - makes me feel sick

As everyone said, get the memory card adapter. You can do what I did, buy it at Walmart, use it to transfer, box it back up, take it back to Walmart for refund, then sell old memory cards at a place like Gamestop. As long as you keep the box in tact, they will accept it back for refund with no question.

I wouldnt even return it, they're like 5 bucks at sears... you can pass it on to a friend when you're through with it
