I just brought an un-opened PS3 60GB because I thought having backwards compatibility would be amazing, sadly I was very wrong.

The 60GB may sound like a brilliant idea but it just doesn't work in reality. Its like Sony took 70% of the PS2's capability away from it stuffed the other 30% into the PS3 case and then still had some left, so they took out some of the PS3's features and now im left with a half-ass PS2-PS3 hybrid.

I think I am going to sell the 60GB PS3, keep my super fantastic 80GB (but upgrade to 500GB) and buy a PS2.

I played Shinobido (my favorite PS2 game ever) on my PS3 and it was about 40% good-ness my little brother kept on saying it looked so munted because my TV is to big. Then I played GT4 it worked ok but was a bit blurry, Then onto a new PS2 game Naruto shippuden 4 (I think) and that froze about 10 seconds into gameplay. Then there was shadow of the colossus, It ran smoothly but just looked a bit jaged.

The backwards compatible PS3's are lacking in both sides of the spectrum. My 60GB turns the controllers off when ever I change between differnt features like video, PS2 games and PS3 games. My other PS3 doesnt do that. The 60GB cant play all PS2 games properly. The PS2 I had before I got my 80GB PS3 worked perfectly.

My point is Backwards compatible PS3's are **** and not worth the trouble.
