Need help making a decision as to whether I should purchase a 160 gig PS3 now or wait for a later model with reverse compatibility, less bugs in it and when prices are possibly lower. I've been told that if I buy one now with a big enough hard drive, I can download an emulator that will allow reverse capability (which is a huge concern for me. I want to play my older games on it too) but I want some second opinions or if someone has a news link about a newer model coming out that would be awesome too.

Thanks for the help.

first the ps3 slim won't play ps2 games ( because that will make it at least $500 so it's better to re-produce the old 60 gb
ps3 don't have any kind of emulator
the fat one is always better than the slim ( it has more features like more usb ports ,etc )
i advice you to get an 80 gb and you can change the hard drive after that to 500gb so hard drive space is not important
for me i have ps3 40gb and i have a lot of space as i don't put ton of music and videos also as for demos i play them then i remove them
IMPORTANT : ps3 slim is not confirmed yet there is no official information so we don't know the realese date maybe there isn't a ps3 slim
ps3 has no bugs
ps3 slim price if confirmed would probably be $350-$400 but not less
just get a ps3 now
the fat ps3 will be better than the slim one as the ps2 was

well sony have patent and made the technology to play ps2 games on ps3 now so they will do it in a firmware update as of when im not sure, and as for hard drive u can always upgrade it and its as good as the same as an current 80gb model

I would hold off until the rumors of a backwards compatibility thing going on is proved true of false, or until the end of the year when the supposed slim s coming out.


And no, there is no emulator, torrent, download, nothing you can do to make your PS3 play PS2 games.
