    Everyone knows how you can download old Nintendo games onto your Wii through the Wii Shop Channel. So why doesn't Sony do that with the PS3? It would be so cool to play old PS1 and PS2 favorites again.

      What... ? You already can. For PS1 games anyway. Sign onto the PSN Shop through the PS3 and have at it.

        I believe it's the same way for the 360....or was at some point.

          This^^

          It's under "PSOne Classics"

          PS2 games are slowly slowly coming in some forms. Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil 4 are coming to PSN in the fall, complete with trophies and HD updated graphics.

            I believe God of War 1 and 2 are also on the PSN. As far as the Resident Evils, lets hope Capcom decides to update Code Veronica's gameplay. I was a big fan of RE 1, 2 and CV but the controls in those games are absolutely awful. They need to re-work CV's controls and make it like 4's or the game may be an excercise in frustration for many. It was somewhat acceptable a couple generations ago but not anymore.

                If you originally owned a PS1 and still have your old PS1 games, the PS3 is backward compatible where it can play PS1 games. Unfortunately (as far as I know) the PS3 will not play PS2 games. I still have my PS2 and games, but haven't yet put a PS2 disc in my PS3 to see if it would play...

                        certain models are backwards compatible with ps2 games, from what i've heard, though i have an 80gb one without wireless internet and it doesn't have the ps2 compatibility

                            If its a generation 1 ps3 then its compatiable to play ps2 and ps1 games on it. But any other model has lost that function :(

                              How the hell did you not know this?!? PS1 games have been downloadable on PS3 for like 2 years, maybe more! There are also a few PS2 games on it. The Prince of Persia HD trilogy is on it.

                                I've only had my PS3 since February 27th, 2011.
