Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: PS3?s

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Stephen and all,
     How can I tell, before buying, if a particular PS3 will play PS2 games?
Er, I guess I could bring a disk and memory chip with me when I go shopping?
Thanks,
Tom
P.S.  I don't think I can hook up BOTH a PS2 and a PS3 to one TV, especially
since it's already hooked up to a VCR player, right?
