I am going to get a PS3 soon and the main reason I want it is because of the Blu-Ray and I loved the idea of play old games. There are some games on PS2 I like but I don't know if I will be able to play it on a PS3. I heard they stop making them with PS3 is there a easy way to check if they stopped making it with that feature? I would love to get a PS3. I will get it anyway because of the blu-ray but I would also love to play some games in the ps2 on the ps3. I am prob gonna but it through Wal-Mart.com because I have a discount and order at site to store for free shipping. Any advice? Any other good places to look?

None of the newest PS3s have PS2 playability:

If you are willing to shell out the money you could probably get one of the 60gig original PS3 or the 80 gig on E-bay since both models have been discontinued at the retail level. Your best bet is to just buy a new PS3 as planned and pick up a used PS2. It will cost less money and hassle.

I wonder if Sony will ever release a "special edition" PS3 that has backwards compatibility once again. I've got one of the original 60GBs, but was thinking of picking up a second at some point for an additional blu-ray player.
