PS2 BC download on PS Store

NOTE: This is not an April Fools joke and it does not give 40gb PS3s backwards compatibilty.

I don't know how long this has been available, but I noticed it yesterday, that there is an update on the PSN store that makes it so PS2 games recognize a PS3 hard drive. that way you can save right to the HD without worrying about internal memory cards. Also, downloadable content for PS2 games like SOCOM Combined Assault can now be saved straight to the HD.

Just thought you might like to know.

you would still need the adapter to transfer your old files

This definitely works for the 80GB sku. I thought it worked on all PS2 games, but maybe I was wrong. idk.

It definitely works for SOCOM Combined Assault, since I tried it with that game, and it asked me if I wanted to partition 2GB of space for the game.

I think its for just the PS2 games that used the PS2's hard drive like Final Fantasy XI.jt4mtb

Yep.
