PS2/PS3 Compatible Question ...

CardCollector · 12-23-2012, 01:29 PM

So I want to purchase NBA Street and NFL Street. They are both PS2 games, will they work in a PS3? I do not own a PS3, They are for a friend who has wanted them for PS3 but they do not have NFL Street for PS3, just NBA Street. So If i buy the 2 games for PS2, do they work with PS3?

He has to have one of the older model PS3's that were backwards compatible. If he doesnt maybe you can buy him some PSN Points and he can buy a digital copy from the PSN Store thru his PS3 if they're available.

Depends, what kind of PS3 does he have? It will not work ona slim.

Your best bet is to purchase a first gen fatty. IE: 60gb or 20gb original console.
Those two consoles are the ones that will play the majority of the games b/c the laser was made for that. The newer fat ones like the 80gb and 40gb will EMULATE games but they do not play a decent chunk of the ps2 games b/c they are emulators.
I do not think the new gens play them at all.

The price for the older ones can be just as much as the new ones bc of this.

I hope that helps some
