PS3 backwards compatible?

ReDWasK · Post by **ReDWasK** » Tue Sep 20, 2005 6:18 pm

seeing as a PS2 is still upwards of 200 dollah (canadian anyway) i was thinking why spend 200+ on a new ps2 if the ps3 is coming out in a year or less if it's backwards compatible...so...anyone know if it is? psone/ps2/both? i dont recall reading anything on it

Not sure - but I would assume it would be. They would piss alot of people off if it wasn't. And seeing how it isn't Bill Gates making it I would say it would be backwards compatible.

I think I heard somewhere that the Revolution will be able to play NES's cartridges. lol Nothing offical and I can't remember where I heard it either.
