The PAL consoles do backwards compatability by emulation rather than hardware like the NTSC consoles. I dunno what the quality's like though, I hope it can still run all my PSX and PS2 games
Meh, that's just what I'm wondering about. If it can run those three games, I'll probably get it. If not, I'll get a PS2 from ebay and get it a year later. The games for the PS3 are still so-so.
