Good point. I did have a look at a PS3 box in my region and didn't see anything that says that.
And the clerk looks like she just started (i believe).

I'll have a look at the PS site in my region and see if it says anything different there.

I asked someone at a games Store called EB Games and asked if the PS3 40gb can play PS1 games. They said it can't.
I visited the official site of playstation and it stated on there that the 40gb can play PS1 games fine.
Can someone confirm this for me???????

Since I don't have an interest in owning a PS3, I can't confirm, but:

- Have you checked for any information on the PS3 box stating any compatibility with PS1 games?
- Does the clerk know what he/she is talking about?
- Does the official site you've checked refer to the American PS3? And if so, can you find out if it differs from the PS3s in your region in terms of PS1 compatibility?

The only ps3 that can play all ps1 AND ps2 games is the american version of the original 60gb ps3. Trust me, I've had to fix my friends PS3 three times. (He dropped it on several occasions. lol)

I live in New Zealand so I won't buy one from america.
One thing just buggers me.

PS3 starts at $399 in the U.S.A. BTW: If you get a PS3 on ebay, get an American one, they are the only ones that have FULL backwards compatability. (60gb)

Well anyway,I could get a PS3 80gb if I sell my(satin silver)PS2.It's worth about $139.99/I guess around $75.00 I don't know?Can some one inform me about this?I already know about yen stuff too.

That's still way to much.

New Zealand dollar is worth less than the US dollar on the market, so $700 NZ = approx. $500 US or less

Why would you do that?
Shipping costs and all the other stuff would just add up to the cost.

Ken Kuturagi "resigned" last year. He no longer works with Sony. As for a PS3 don't buy the 80gb or the 40gb. The 80gb will play very few PS2 games. 40gb won't have enough memory.
Get the old 60gb PS3. It will play any PS2 or PS1 game and is the most reliable system. Find them on ebay.

^0 gig has no Memory card slots and i have it. You have to buy a USB memory card adaptor and even then you hav eto make an internal memory card and copy the data from the actual memory card onto the internal one. I owul dgo for 60 gig because that's my version.

The thing is, There are no 80gb modles where I live (in New Zealand). So a choice between the 40 and 60 modles.
