As I understand it, it was a huge impulse decision for him. He said the reason he picked it over the 360 was because he knew it could play PlayStation 2 games (obviously not the one he bought) and his PS2 was on its last stretches of life. He figured that he might as well get a PS3 and upgrade while still being able to play old games.

It does look like he's been screwed though. I'll have to let him know Monday.

Yeah, we all know that, but that's not my main question. A friend of mine, or rather, a teacher of mine (Chemistry, and yes, it does seem wierd sometimes) bought a Ps3. Part of the reason for his purchase was to be able to play some of his old PlayStation 2 games. When he bought a 40 Gig at GameStop, the clerk negelected to tell him this wouldn't be possible.

I figured I'd ask for him, but is there any special update that would add the emulator? OR has he just been screwed over completely? He's had it for about a month or two.

It's only an investment at this point.

Just keep it, not everything is better on 360 (i.e. Dirt, Oblivion)

And then, you'll also have access to all of the exclusives and early access to games like UT3.

Gah, I take my vote back, I DO own two.

A long time ago, I bought Final Fantasy Tactics because it looked fun; it wasn't. Last week, I bought Final Fantasy XI; same story.

I do own and enjoy Kingdom Hearts though, which must count for something. I've also played FFX, FFX-2 and FFXII, which I liked.
