Since sony is making the slim version unable to play PS2 games, what do we do to play our old PS2 games on our PS3? buy a PS3 60GBPhat model which is out of manufacturing by sony "not making it anymore"?

Some people might say "buy a ps2 :shock:" but I want to play it on my PS3 to use my wireless controller and enjoy the upscaling to HD output.
anyone is feeling/seeing the same thing?

Not really. I have a 2nd generation fat so it wont play the PS2 games either. Would be nice, but my PS2 still works great so its no problem.

Well, I guess it's hard to find a bc PS3 after all the time they didn't made any. I say go with a PS2, upscaling to HD does your TV anyway and I'm pretty sure it isn't hard to find a wireless PS2 Controller :S

I have a 60 gig system and I find I play PS2 games almost as much as I play PS3 games on the system. The wireless controller and the upscaling makes these games look and play so much better.

Yeah it's true, just get one of those slim PS2s for like $60. Those things are super tiny also.

sorry but a wireless controller has no effect on gameplay. its the same experience with or without a cord.

Just hook up a PS2 with Component cables and it'll probably upscale the quality a bit. If you really need a wireless controller for the PS2, then buy one. Sony took BC out of the PS3 like 2 years ago so why are people still complaining about this?

if you realy want to play PS2 on PS3 you should look for someone that will sell it to you ( good like finding any )
