I've always assumed that the PS2 version FF XI wouldn’t be playable on Sony's new system, since the game comes loaded on a hard drive specifically designed for the PS2.

Then I read this article . It leads me to believe that FFXI was supposed to be playable on the PS3, but isnt yet, pending a future download/update.

So here's the question: How the hell would you get the PS2 version FF XI on the PS3? Load the data from the discs bundled with the PS2 hard drive on to the PS3 hard drive? And if so, why would there be any "compatibility" problems, like the one listed in the article above?

As expected, the official PS3 and FF XI sites were completely unhelpful.

Any here know the answer? Or could at least point me in the right direction to get the answer?
