I found a site that had some reviews on that company...but some of the reviews were pretty negative and implied that the positive reviews were people from that company who were praising themselves to get more business.

I can't speak for the legitimacy of the site or the reviews...but if you feel uncertain about them as it is...I'd go with that gut feeling and stay away from them.

--- Quote from: Ace Master Cire on September 17, 2012, 03:06:54 PM ---I would get a backwards compatible model PS3, but not all of my PS1 and PS2 games are compatible with the 3 models of backwards compatible PS3's. So, I'll probably get a slim one and just play my PS2 and PS1 games on that instead and have the PS3 solely for PS3 games.

Actually, the 20 and 60 gig PS3s had the emotion chip in them and were 100% compatible with PS2 games.

Ace you must have the later model backward compatible PS3 which is software based backward compatible only, not hardware backward compatible like the launch models. Check the model number.
The first models actually have the same chip the PS2 has for backward compatibility for 99% of PS1 & PS2 games.
There are a few obscure titles that don't play what so ever on the earliest model PS3. And even the PS2 was only 99% compatible.
After checking your model number, check the list. The launch model numbers are CECHA & CECHB. The software based backward compatible PS3's are CECHC & CECHE.

sheep2001:
it would actually make a more interesting read to tell us the games you have discovered which AREN'T compatible with the backwards compat PS3's ::)
