Answer 1

Yes, i have heard that PS3 does not read some PS2 games. You should have gotten something better like Nintendo Wii or even XBOX 360.

Answer 2

When I had MLB 08 on PS2 i was playing on Hall of Fame mode and now I can barley squeez out a win on rookie on '09 for PS3.

Answer 3

I don't have a PS3 but I read that it will not recognize all PS2 games. Perhaps that's what's happening. Here's an article"

Good luck. I'm a diehard PS fan but because of this I will be buying a 360 when the time comes.

Answer 4

It might be that your ps3 cant read ps2 games with a blue back. try ones with a silver back. But of course it could be vice versa even though the new ps2 games are silver backs. Heck,even try ps1 games if you have them.

Answer 5

I wasn't aware of this problem. One of the biggest selling points to me is the backwards compatability, so I'm glad I didn't plan on buying one anytime soon.
