"I've spent a lot of money on buying games for the PS1 and 2, and my ps2 is on the brink of getting senile and blowing up. The ps3 i preordered last week was meant to be a replacement for the thing (with the added benefit of shiny new games) so pretty soon I might actually have to buy a new ps2 if I want to play most of my games." Same here, I wanted it to be able to play blue disc games like Ring of Red and Marvel vs Capcom 2. Which my PS2 no longer plays, great, just smegging great.
