Mmkay... I'm keeping my PS2 for a while longer (Until they bring out Pro Evo 7 and release some form of guitar hero anyways...), but I just ventured onto the PS3 compatibility page and was a little shocked at what I saw on there...
A brief rundown...
Games that will work with "no known issues" of mine:
Buzz! The big quiz, eyetoy: Play, LEGO Star Wars, GTA: Vice City, ESPN International Track & Field
Games with "some minor issues"
SOCOM, Star Wars Jedi Starfighter
Games with "Some noticeable issues"
The Godfather, MGS3, Pro Evo 4, Pro Evo 6, WWF Smackdown: Just Bring It (So sue me, I was a big wrestling fan as a young teen ), and GTA: San Andreas
Games that aren't even on the list
MGS2, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, Guitar Hero 2, SSX3
Is it not me that finds this simply shocking? Surely there can't be *THAT* much of a compatibility issue?! The worst thing in my eyes is that GTA Vice City will run perfectly fine, but put the more recent version in and bam! Doesn't work... Yet more recent titles in general work fine (by and large)... I mean, it says FFXII has some 'noticeable issues', and this is the most recent 'huge' game, yet my (PS2) launch day copy of Track and Field runs smoothly...
There must have been some sort of standard to writing PS2 games... I'm just amazed that of the 17 games I have, only 5 will run with 'no issues'...
I'm glad I didn't sell my PS2 to fund my PS3, that's all I'm saying! I couldn't live without Pro Evo!!
