All PS3’s To Have Backwards Compatibility?
In an article translated by google on heise online, David Reeves hinted that backwards compatibility will be on all PlayStation 3’s through future firmware updates. He describes it as a long complex process, but it can be done. An example of this is with the compatibility to play SingStar PS2 songs straight on the PS3 version of Singstar.
Reeves said the new backward compatibility with PS2 SingStar titles accurate. It would be using a software emulation realized in a future firmware update. This could all PS2 SingStar impacts directly on the PS3 to play. One need not PS3 SingStar. “We observe, in which titles are still worthwhile, and are likely to be more PS2 games on the PS3 up and running by emulation.” This was, however, a technically very complex process because the necessary PS2 chips PS3 the current models are missing.
If what Reeves says is true, than it would be nice for all users that don’t have backwards compatibility on their PS3s.

Ahhh right, so that means only the popular titles will be backwards compatible?
I hope Kingdom Hearts will be made backward compatible. That’s the one PS2 game I want.

Same here. I loved playing KH and KH2, plus now they’re coming out with KH Re:CoM that came with Final Mix. Only CoM is coming to USA in December 2, 2008.
