    Not surprising as, I believe, a new PS2 is now 'dirt cheap'.

    However, apparently, sales of the PS3 have increased ten fold since relaunch.

    Looks like we are stuck with the current generation of consoles for a few years yet - which I don't think is a bad thing.

    I was reading something about this just earlier today: "PS4 and Xbox 720: why we're in for a long wait."

    I think I agree with the author insofar as the PS3 is only just getting started really, but I'm still amazed at how many new titles are released on the PS2. There were rumours last year that Sony were working on another (cheaper) iteration of the PS2.

    I have to admit that I'm now wondering why I bother to buy a PS2 compatible PS3 recently off ebay. Now that I have it, we have found that some of the PS2 games we like don't play as well performance wise and the choice of PS3 game is definitely limited compared to those available for the PS2.

    I wonder if the PS3 will just be a side note between the PS2 and PS4.

    I guess it was the super weapon that won the DVD HD war.

    Correct. Only the original American kit had an additional PS2 chipset. The UK version was via software emulation.
    Interesting, thanks for the info.

    I did think, when I posted, that it must have been a separate chip.

    WHS - no compatibility since the original 60GB "Phat" version I think.

    started a topic PS3 Slim

    PS3 Slim

    Anyone know if the new PS3 slim is compatible with PS2 games? Was thinking of getting one and have some existing PS2 games that I still like to play.

    If not, is there a hack to make it so?
