Kingdom Hearts Backwards Compatibility?

I never played the games but with the remake of the GBA one for PS2 just being released I was thinking now was a good time to pick up all three games for about $60. My question is will it play on the 80gb PS3 that has limited BC. I got the one with the metal gear bundle but if what I have been reading is correct it is somehow limited. I also don't know if I need a PS2 memmory card or if I can just save it on the hard drive. It seems like a great series, all the fans seem very passionate about it and all the forum talk about an inevitable sequel has made me look at the series agaian. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Save this website, it will tell you if the game is compatible and if there are any known bugs:

It says there are no major problems with these titles.

No im pretty sure all the new PS3's have no backwards compatibility at all.Mosannam9696

To the question at hand, I'm not sure if it will work. I tried checking the compatibility database (http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus), but Chain of Memories is not listed at all; which means Sony hasn't updated it to reflect any of the more recent titles. KH1 and 2 are listed to work just fine though. You'll have to wait and see if anyone here has actually played Chain of Memories on a PS3. As for the memory card question, presuming it's playable on your PS3 you don't need to buy a memory card. You can create "virtual" PS2 memory cards on the PS3 hard drive so you can save your games. Take a look at "Memory Card Utility" under the games section of the XMB.

all 3 kingdom hearts games will work on the 80GB ps3 as i have tried all 3 of them and am playing the remake of the gameboy one KH:chine of memories and it works so fine . but with the ps3 you got i doubt if it will work since yours is kinda new and i got mine a long time ago , try and search or ask someone in gamestop or EBgamesfinalstar2007

Thank you all very much for your help I am really looking forward into starting this franchise but I forgot to ask 1 question should I play them in the order they came out? If I remember correctly Chains of memmory is a prequel to the second one.
