Playstation 3 question?

May be...

I just got a PS3 (yay)! It's an 80gb. I understand that the 80gb has software emulation and should play PS2 games. Whenever I put a PS2 game in it, it tells me that it isn't compatable. I am running the 2.53 software update. It is playing Playstation, the original, games. Why won't it play PS2 games? I tried Rock Band and GH3. Neither will play. Anybody else having this issue? Thanks for your answers and merry Christmas!

sadly they stopped giving the ability to play ps2 games, luckily i bought mine before they changed that so i still can. But as the guy says above i guess 60g still can. Have fun gaming!

some of them are

Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation...

then check your serial number, it might have ps2 compatibility, but the most compatible versions are the original 60gb ps3 with ps2 and ps1 support.

Happy X-mas/ Happy Holidays

Ματθαιος

no. it only works on 60GB models. only ps1 games will work on yours. SORRY BOSS
