my brother bought Twisted Metal for PS3 the other day and it came with a free download of the PS2 game Twisted Metal: Black
i was just wondering if any similar promotions have been released/it's possible to download more PS2 games

If you have Battlefield 3 you can get Battlefield 1942 for free.

Still wish I could play my ps2 games on my ps3. Unreal to think people still purchase ps2 games, preventing sony from allowing the ps3 to read them.

I wish my ps3 was backwards compatible. I find it ridiculous it'll play a ps1 game no problem, but then the quantum leap to ps2 is obviously a no go.

As a PS3 owner and massive nerd let me tell you why...

The PS1 is an ancient system now (Hell, even my iPhone can emulate it), and in all models of PS3 the PS1 system is software emulated. This means any PS3 can emulate the PS1 as all PS3's have the same specs. However, as the PS2 was significantly more powerful than the PS1 there needed to be hardware included in the PS3 which aided the emulation of the PS2, namely the emotion engine and the 'Graphics Synthesizer GPU'. These are lacking from later PS3 models as I think Sony wanted to reduce the manufacturing costs.

I actually know the reasoning behind it, but thank you for trying to educate me. I was just ranting really, I wish they would just distribute a digital workaround, surely there must be something/some work-around they can do. Even lacking the physical shit

i used to have one of the ps3 fat models which played both ps1 and ps2 games. it was very convenient since i only needed one system to play the majority of my games. over the summer it pooped out on me so i ended up buying a slim which contained no backwards compatibility. i didn't know i was still able to play ps1 games on it though.

Honestly, the #1 thing keeping me from getting a PS3 (besides my desire to not buy one with money) is that it can't play PS2 games. Until they have a current-gen console that can play Kingdom Hearts, or they re-release the games, I will not be getting a PS3. Maybe I'll get an old-model one, but they're probably pretty expensive.
