Can you play original PS2 games on the PS3 40g?
hey guys, just wondering, i was thinking about getting a PS3 soon, and a friend of mine told me that you can't play PS2 games, such as SOCOM on the 40g PS3. is this true?

thanks,

You can't play PS2 games on a 40 gig.

Just wait a month for the MGS4 80gig PS3 bundle.

1) The 80GB PS3 bundle which includes MGS4, as well as a duelshock 3 controller, will be released on June 12, 2008 (The same day MGS4 is released).

2) The price will be $499.

It is a lot better deal than a 40 gig.

The MGS4 PS3 is also a very very sexy colour (gun metal gray) so yes, wait for that.

That is actually only the limited edition MGS4 special bundle.

There is a normal MGS4 bundle with the normal glossy black color.

OK ok, I thought all the PS3's were the same for the MGS4 bundle.

If I had the money and could get it here, the gun metal gray one would be sitting beside my TV ASAP.

Same here. If I didn't already have a PS3, I would definitely jump on this deal.
