I'd rather buy a ps3 that can play ps2 and ps3 games?

Wont happen, this is the selling points for PS3, some people never owned a PS1 or PS2 so if they buy a PS3 they will be very happy,

helllllll no. haha, You can dream all you want man, that PS3 is goin to cost roughly the same with or without them engines in there. Even thou thats not an option, the biggest price consuming piece of hardware in the PS3 is that Blu Ray technology, the ability to read HD DVD Roms. Thats the bigges chunk right there. If they wanted to cut out just the PS2 engine it would only drop the price like 50 dollars, not to big of a percent when your talkin about a $600 machine here. I dont think the PS3 is really gonna be worth it. I think Sony lost this gen war. Nintendo and Microsoft is gonna be in the lead.

srry i don't get it......... but anyway i think the ps3 is really cool but really expensive, cuz im thirteen and have almost a thousand dollars but decided to get a psp instead of an xbox 360 or a ps3cuz i already have a gamecube with a ton of games, and a lot of pc games and gameboy games. so whatever.

i think i would try to go the best way and the cheapest way if you can do both...sometimes though it is better to spend a little more money for a better product....

Yea on the ...........ummmmmm sony website if you look up thePS3 it tells you that the PS3 can also play PS2 games sooo your pritty much good on that one.......... and the prices are $499 for 20 gig or $599 for 60 gig.... in the U.S.
