Hey everyone. I own a PS2 and bought so many games for it. I am also going to get a PS3 once price goes down but I heard that the compatibility list of the PS3 isn't exactly perfect. The price for a new PS2 has dropped here to $129.99. I'm thinking that instead of risking some of my games being incompatible with the PS3, to just get another PS2 for backup, in case my current one blows up down the road. What do you think?
good point, prices on PS2 should continue to fall...I read somewhere that as long as the PS3 version is US made (not to be sold in Japan) it can play PS2 games...I don't have the link though, sorry:(

Not for long, thats what the stock clearance is for. They want to put the new PS3 without the PS2 guts and have it emulated instead.
Good points everyone. Thanks for the input. I did go to Sony's website and checked compatibility on most of my games. From what I saw, very few have problems i.e. titles hanging etc., which I don't know if that's reason enough. Nevertheless, it will take a few more years until the PS3 becomes mainstream. Plus with the ridiculous low prices for the ps2, picking one more up for backup isn't alll that bad. By the way, is there any difference between the black and the silver ps2, hardware or software-wise?
Buying two PS2s would be a stupid idea, if you're not getting a PS3, then get another PS2 if your current one develops problems. Since you have a working console, just start saving for a PS3, don't trade the PS2 in for it cause you'll only get like 30 bucks. If you're in the US anyway, the emulation has no problems, even still - outside of the US the emulation has like one or two glitches on 4 or5 games, so the people that try to say it's not that good have no idea what they're talking about, they're just trying to create their own buzz that they don't deserve.
