Loot Ninja is rumormongering that PlayStation 3 backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 2 may be returning “soon”.
As I was reading through my rather extensive and scary list of site feeds yesterday evening, I stumbled upon this post up over at Scrawl. One of their writers works at GameStop and had a visit from their friendly neighborhood Sony rep recently. I would advise against taking this as fact until we hear something more official, but the Sony rep was reported as pointing out that both a price drop and backwards compatibility for our sleek, sexy PS3s are coming soon.
How important is being able to play PS2 games on your PS3? Do you have a large PS2 library gathering dust, or interested in buying some of the inexpensive new releases the PS2 still enjoys? Let us know.
