morabu Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 i don't have one, but i do know that they DO NOT have the Emotion Engine PS2 chip built into them, they DO however have limited software emulation playback, so a few PS2 games will work, but nowhere the amount that would work on the original 20gb or 60gb models, the 40gb model has NO chip/emulation what-so-ever!

Spidey2721 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 my ps2 is crapping out. so instead of wasting money on another ps2 figured i would just get the ps3. about the only game i would really play from the ps2 i know works on the ps3. i would have to rebuy madden but thats no biggie. since its better in ps3. call of duty is calling my name for ps3.

81mercury Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 theres a softwere patch you can download to play ps2 games on the 40/80 gig just like you could on the 60 gig.....my computer nerd friend has my ps3 right now working on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey2721 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 well hell if i can get the 40 to play ps2 games then i may get that one. or if a can still find a 60 somewhere. all the prices I have seen on the are the same as the 80 though. let me know how it works out with the patch. is it just a self installing patch? also where is it downloaded from?
