I think all PS3 can play PS1 games. The 40 GB, new 80GB and 160GB can't play PS2 games.
Otherwise, it would piss some people off if they bought a PS1 game from the PSN without knowing it wouldn't work on their PS3.

Fair doo's. The only PS1 game I still own is Worlds Wildest Police Chases. Never tried it on my PS3 though...

you get yours on release day Mig?
Ha! Remember it well. Was living in a 'less desirable' area when I owned that. Breaking into cars and nicking the stereo's was easier in real life though... :erm:
Mine is Winning Eleven 5. I regretted throwing away Metal Gear Solid.
I never cared about Backward Compatibility because I never bought the original copies of PS1 and PS2 games. I know that it is considered as stealing, but I had no choice.
By the way, when is Home going to be released?

Not been interested enough to follow it's progress, but was under the impression it was supposed to be this year...
I'm sure I heard you would get access to it from the XMB... if that's the case it'll come as part of a firmware update.

Yeah my PS1 game is from the same region as my PS3. I like to go back to Final Fantasy IX from time to time.
I think all the newer PS3 models, those released after August 08 or something, do not have PS2 backward compatibility. That's okay though because I sold all my games to raise some money for this pricey system.

115 and Counting...
Does anyone know whats going on with 160GB PS3's?
Barely anyone is selling them and according to this it might even get discontinued:

Ok I am fucking pissed - for the second time within the space of a year, my PS3 has died, it can no longer read games. The first one I got last Xmas conked out last January, and now the replacement has died. The quality control on these things is fucking atrocious. I wish cancer on the cunts who made it.

According to the Times Online, a web version of the UK newspaper that's been in circulation since 1785, the long-awaited PlayStation Home will be released "in the next 10 days." The article is dated December 7th, so simple arithmetic would allow us to conclude that Home will make its debut by December 17th.
At the very least, the rumored date seems realistic; afterall, we've been promised again and again that Home will make its debut in 2008. Sony won't attest to the accuracy of that date. "We're not commenting on that story, I'm afraid," an SCEE representative told VG247. Let's all keep our fingers crossed -- bring Home home, Sony!
