Well, I recently got a brand-new PS3. I was happy because my PS2 broke and I really wanted to play a PS2 game. So i first set it up, wanted to play some Assassins Creed which I bought to play. So I tried to put it in, it wouldn't go in. So I was getting mad. But then, I had the great idea of pushing eject. Out comes Call Of Duty 4. So I was pretty happy that I got a free 60$ game.
A few days later I finally decide to play a PS2 game. I put it in my system and waited awhile, it didn't work. So I looked in the manual and it said it that "PlayStation 2 format disc were not supported." Me being mad, I went to where I bought my PS3 the next day and told them my problem. What I was told was that in the newer models of the PS3, they don't support PS2 games because it was cheaper for SONY to keep making PlayStation 2 than to actually put the hardware in the newer models of PlayStation 3.
GAH! I'm so angry at SONY right now!
