Question - PS3 backwards compatibility?

**My Final Heaven** · 09-30-2008, 07:05 AM

Ok, I bought an 80gb PS3 bundle about 2 months ago. I've heard several people say "I would get a 20 gig, they took PS2 compatibility out of the 80." The thing is, every PS2 game I've tried in the system's worked without a hiccup. Games I've tried:

Arcana Heart
Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistance
Silent Hill 3
Soul Calibur 3
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (Blew chunks, but worked fine with the PS3 guitar)

(Yeah, I really like games with the number 3 in the title

)

SO does anybody have any idea what's going on with this? Not that I'm complaining or anything, it just seems kind of odd. I downloaded a "PS2 system File" thingy from the Sony online store a while ago, but would that be all it took to restore PS2 functionality? A 6 meg DL?
