I would think that Sony would want to address this compatibility issue as it would mean big $$ for them. Meaning that they should make the PS3 system capable of playing ALL PS2 and probably even PS1 games. Although, isn't the projected system cost $700? Sounds kinda unreasonable to me. I mean, you can buy a decent enough PC with that kinda money. Although FFXII does look damn good.......

I'm hoping you mean FF XIII, cause FF XII is for PS2. Well I do know that PS3 does not have the dual shock function. However PS3 does have a harddrive so I think it would be compatiable. They have said that PS3 is backwards compatiable with PS1 and PS2 games. However you never know if there are any promblems with the old games till you try it. Or someone else tries it for that matter.
