Wish more companies would get the hint..

Sony Computer Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi has reportedly stated that the PlayStation 3 will feature backward compatibility for both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation games. The news is hardly surprising, although previous rumors had suggested that the backward compatibility of the PS3 would only stretch to PS2 games.
"PSOne runs on the PlayStation 2 through emulation rather than actual hardware. PlayStation 3 will offer the same compatibility for PS2 software, and the format will continue forever," Kutaragi reportedly told Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun.

Recently on G4's Pulse They mentioned that The Playstation Portable is
giong to be PS2 compatible. Also it will use only discs not carts.

G4's Pulse is STUPID. Simplest way I can say that. Half of what they report is completely wrong, and they know abosultely nothing. One of the worst shows on that channel. (Is Portal still on? <shudder>)
