Sony announces 160GB PS3

[Matra et Alpine]

As noted, as new games still come out for the PS2, then Sony don't need to give the PS3 the compatability -- that was pretty much hit-and-miss anyway !
Most folks have the PS2 anyway and if not and you are a new PS3 purchaser then you're not going to be impressed at going backwards to PS2 games so unlikely to buy any of those.
It makes sense for Sony I think...... Entry level gaming is available on the PS2 and then when you want to "upgrade" you buy the PS3 and instead of the PS2 being sold for £10 or dumped in a cupboard somewhere you can hang on to it for those games

I haven't bought a PS3 game since I bought my 360. Lulz.

the real question is: can it hold all my porn?

I was considering giving you a sarcastic answer, but run out of idea. so I will say just this: I don't care, and I find it childly to revive the thread just to say that. free to collect porn as much as you like, but who care?!
an remarkable add to the thread I must say.

I wanted to know when will the newer version of ps3 be able to play ps2 and ps1 games ...will there be any need of additional software or what?
