It was my BD today. I opened my presents (PS3, and MGS4, and $50 giftcard) i was pretty happy and got essentially everything i wanted. That is until i put MGS3 into my PS3 and it doesnt play. I thought it could be because i have to update the ps3, and so I did that ...but it still didnt work. So I go online for help and finally find out 40gb PS3's (mine) dont play PS2 games. <_< ..Yes i figured out on my birth day that 40gb PS3's dont play PS2 games. I hate Sony Sooo much right now!

first off happy birthday.

you should always do your research. the 80gb mgs4 bundle is ps2 compatible because you get the 80gb unit wich has the ps2 emulator. if you knew that that the 40gb doesn't can't play ps2 games than maybe you could have told your parents. however the 40gb is the only ps3 being sold other than the mgs4 bundle. but you could get a used 80gb somewhere.

here's a solution. return your ps3 and mgs4 for a mgs4 bundle. if the store doesn't have any (which is likely because they seem hard to find) try and wait until they get some in stock. you might have to pay the remander of the tax though cause the bundle is $499.

I know this is some really lame shit. Sadly i found this out after I got the 40. What was i gonna use anything bigger for anyway. I have my laptop...sooo i went for the smaller. Then I found this out. I don't have any ps2 games or anthing but it's a total bitch If I wanna play the other mgs (because I have only ever watched) I need to buy a ps2. AHHHHH I may do this....I may.

The point is....I totally feel your pain.

Unless you live in the EU in which case - you're fucked!! :)

(You could import an 80GB PS3 as PS3 games are region free - but PS2 games still remain region locked so you wouldn't be able to play your PS2 games anyway)

So you're upset at Sony because you assumed all PS3s were backwards compatible? Thats just silly.

Nope, and they have no plans to do so either.

It's a shame, is about all I can echo in this thread.

Bear in mind that the PS3 is still the only next-gen console to truly live up to the expectations of true next-generation gamers - whilst the 360 is back-compatible, the games you buy and play on it are not true HD as some believe.
