Looks like they don't really care about the PS3 as they are still selling the PS2 and I guess will until the PS4 comes out.

No wonder the PS3 doesn't have PS2 BC as they want to make as much money and sell more consoles.

That was obvious from the start. Sony obviously were not removing the EE+GS chip for cost reasons. It would have been nice to have a PS3 with PS2 support as my second PS2 has died, oh well, emulation is getting there and preferable due to the option to select what resolution to render the game at.

My first thought is I wonder what bios it's using?

[solrac1974]

Great news, too bad it's not full HD, 22" would be nice for a computer monitor with PS2 support and media player.

ps2 outdated but still pretty cool and ideal for the kids bedroom, shame I've just paid the same ammount for a normal tv/dvd for the young boy for xmas.

[Firmware150]

Well that's kind of retarded. I thought it was actually built into the TV set, but it's clearly just a PS2 stuff to the bottom of the TV.

[GiantMonster]

if either TV or PS2 gets damaged you're screwed, as oppose to having devices separately.

[Murcielago]

Maybe we can install the Modbo 750 or Mars 816 hahaha Swap magic should work ok!!

Once again like so many times I have to ask why PS2? The Playstation 2 has had its run for 10 years and the PS3 has been created. I've enjoyed many titles on the PS2 back then and it was cool but lets MOVE ON shall we?

Imagine if Sony started out with ALL PS3's having backwards compatiblity and focused more on the PS3 & PSP? In my opinion this PS2 thing has been dragged along too far by Sony. They need to let it go.
