Big time PS2 gamer back in the day. 3 little ones under 2 have changed that. Still jonesin' to get back into playing shape. Still have quite a few PS2 games to put to sleep. My question is this----I know back in the day when the PS3 came out, for the most part it was backwards compatible with the PS2. Now the newer systems do not have that feature. Was this strictly just a cost saving move by Sony to lower the price or were there issues that were never addressed? Trying to decide if I should just buy the newer model or search around for an older, backwards compatible one. Any thoughts?
