my Dad is going to buy us a ps3 for xmas hopefully but he keeps asking questions. Also are downloads from the Playstation network free? and is there a way to get uncompatible PS3's to be backwards compatible via downloads?
if your ps3 isnt backwards compatable then there is no way to make it compatable, and it depends what you want to download, some downloads like demo's and themes are free but full games will cost you!

The PSN is free in terms of online play and all that. But most purchases you make on PSN (such as games, addons etc.) you'll have to pay for. And like I said in my other post, Sony took the BC out of the systems (no clue why) so you cant buy one anymore. Unless you buy it on Ebay or the Blackmarket :?
the first 60GB model is backwards compatible because it actually has the PS2 engine in it and is compatible with most all PS2 and some PS1 games. The first 80GB model has a software emulator in it like the xbox 360 does with backwards compatability with the original xbox games but the number of games that will work is less than the 60GB model. from there the 40GB model is not backwards compatible but I do not know about the new 160GB model uncharted package you might want to check playstation.com on that one.
The 20 GB and 60 GB models are Hardware backwards compatible (They have the ps2 chip built-in) and the 80GB model is sofware backwards compatible (It uses an emulation sofware)
