PS2 games on PS3

[methodtoll]

Hey guys! I just recently got a PS3 and I noticed that, initially, PS3 doesn't have backwards capadibility on it. I've been doing research and I have found out that you have to download a PS2 thing from the PS Network in order to get some of your PS2 games to work. I, however, do not have internet access at my house and was curious if ther was some way of accessing the PS2 app or whatever you call it via a computer instead of through your PS3?

Even if you dl it you can only play a couple games like socom and some other crappy game, idk why they just didn't make all of them backwards compatible.

Man that sucks, I was hoping to break out NFL 2k5.

because it was really expensive. the old ones essentially had a miniature ps2 built into the ps3. it wasn't a software thing.

1. Obviously you're lying because you're on the internet right now.

2. Go buy a PS2.

Maybe he isnt at his house?

Or spend hours researching online, downloading patches and new software and potentially ruining your PS3 instead of buying a $30 piece of equipment designed with one purpose of playing the games you already own.

1) There are other ways of accessing internet other then being at home. Currently I am on the internet via library

2) I have a PS2, except a few years ago it got fried by lightning during a storm. I am about to start a job and prefer not to purchase another gaming system for the sake one game

So you don't have a PS2.

Also, they're $30 now.
