    Our PS3 is PS2 compatible but I'm so unfamiliar with the PS3 that I can't tell you why.

    Sony eventually cut out the backwards compatibility with the PS2 in order to cut costs. Originally, they were losing a couple hundred bucks per console sold, so something had to go under the axe.

    Indeed, though it never made a lot of sense to me to stop putting the PS2 chipset in. It cost them something like $20 per console, but I guess every little bit helps, even if it hasn't been the biggest cost saver (they've gone from costing about $800 per console to almost breaking even now though).

    Enjoy the PS3. Be sure to go back and catch up on some classics like Uncharted, MGS4, Resistance, Little Big Planet and more. And if you happen to be a strategy RPG fan then go get Valkyria Chronicles now (I don't care if it's night and you have to break into a store to do it ).

    The general consensus among myself and everyone else I know of who's played VC is that it's pretty much the best undiscovered gem on the system, and certainly one of the coolest strategy RPG's I've played. Way too many people will miss out on it if you ask me, just because it seems to have fallen through the cracks despite having a demo released on the PSN months ago.

    If your a FPS fan I suggest you get Call of Duty: World at War. I have been so addicted to it for the past 4 months its unbelievable. The rest of the games mentioned seem pretty solid.

    Enjoy your PS3.

    Agreed. I really think Sega shot themselves in the foot with the demo they released for the game though. They had to show a very ho-hum skirmish battle which is nothing like the rest of the game. Almost skipped on the game entirely based on that demo.

    Congrats I know how it feels. I hope you got yours from Best Buy because Killzone 2 was free with it if you bought it from them. I personally got Little Big Planet as my free game choice. I thought the pS3 80g couldn't play PS1 games either, now that's a little stress off from me.

    LBP can last months or even years because of its level creation and sharing.

    You don't need an HDTV I have a standard although if it's too small your eyes will burn from trying to read the letters on the screen.

    I'd recommend COD4 instead personally. Infinity Ward make a much better FPS in my opinion and COD4, though it doesn't do anything innovative, is one of the best made FPS games I've played.
