my buddy went to d/l the new red dead redemption content and we saw some a d/l for playing ps2 software on ps3. im not sure if that just applies to those 'special' ps3's or is this some new update for all ps3 users? we d/l it, put in a ps2 title and fail ofcourse so im assuming its just for the 80gig ps3 still????

I think the same question was just asked the other day, this is a fix for already B/C ps3's to raise the compatibility.

It's for online PS2 games that need the HDD support like Final Fantasy XI and Everquest. It has nothing to do with getting backwards compatibility.

It's been there forever. My BC PS3 needed to DL so you can save games. It basically puts like a 'function'? Don't know wat word to use so that you can save you PS2 files and such. It's nothing drastic, but early on i think people were having trouble saving ps2 games because the game couldn't find like the old memory cards you'd use, so they put out this 'patch' to help fix and keep things running smoothly. It's useless nowadays because no new ps3's can use this feature
