Erasmus, you might have gotten one of the models that got the PS2 backwards capability taken off.

The very first ones (60GB, "thousand bucks gg I am now broke") had it, and due to the costs of having the backwards on it they took it off for the next ones.

Rumours are saying that Sony will allow PS3 games to be compatible on PS4. If that is true, i might stick to a PS3. High chances that the rumour will be true or they will have a problem producing PS3 and 4 and the same time.

Well... The first model had hardware support for PS2 compatibility. This was removed in the second models to cut costs (40/80GB i think) but they had software emulation.

They then decided to stop including this software emulation because they wanted to keep selling PS2s that they weren't making a loss on.

The free one I got was the third release which had no support. :/
