I've been wanting to have a PS3. Yesterday, my parents called me asking about one they were about to buy. But it stated that it would NOT work with PS2 games. So, are all PS3s no longer backwards compatible? |

The new 80GB are NOT, but if I'm correct, the old 60GB were. You'd have to buy it used, though. |

The old 60 gig models were 100% backwards compatible, but the more recent ones are only backwards compatible with select games (cuz Sony got cheap). Most of the games you own will probably work.
I don't have to worry about that problem, because my PS2 works just fine for playing PS2 games. |

20 gb ones are backwards, so are 60, the metal gear solid 4 special addition one is not.
40's and 80's aren't.
the 160 gb motostorm pack isn't as well. |

If you want any new PS1 games, Sony wants you to buy them from the PlayStation Network Store. I have a lot of mine in the physical disc form. |

Actually, I think in the PlayStation Store somewhere, there is a patch so you can play PS2 games on the newer PS3's. |

Really? If so, would you mind showing a picture? Since my sister's begging me to get a Wii because "PS3's have bad games and we can't play our old games anymore"(according to her. We have a fat PS2.) |

Keep the PS2 then, and you can play your PS2/PS1 games still.  |

Get her the Wii, and keep the PS2 by yourself. Although Wii is much much better than any Playstation... But, suit yourself. |
