[QUOTE="Grant, post: 2113619, member: 216422"] official BC support? I understand there's a download on PSN for activating the PS2 emulation in PS3s that had BC but didn't use the hardware emulation. Unfortunately, I do not have such a model. But I was thinking... I wouldn't mind keeping my PS2 around if I could kind of push it out of sight and only use it for spinning the disc. I want to be able to play my PS2 games (all legally purchased -- I have a ton of them) ON the PS2, but THROUGH the PS3. That way I can use my wireless controllers and won't have to swap the ethernet cable back and forth whenever I get online. Also, wired controllers really suck in the 21st century. I know I could buy wireless controllers for my PS2, but between 360, PS3, and Wii, I already have like 12 wireless controllers lying around and I'm always picking up the wrong one. The reason I think this may be possible is someone said you can create a PS2 system profile on a PS3, even if it doesn't have BC. I thought maybe Sony was leaving the option open in the future for a firmware update or something, but now they probably won't do that. So I know the PS3 can't physically read a PS2 disc, but you can't tell me this $400+ system can't handle the last generation's graphics. [/QUOTE]
