Of course not, but that is my main purpose for buying it at the moment. Otherwise, I would have waited for another year. When I have more money, COD4, GTA4, Half Life 2 will be mine. BTW, who is this Hilary Goldstein you speak of???
Just a douche working at IGN who likes to say outrageous things to rise through the ranks.

i think its ok but wouldnt it be better to get a brand new one with more space for 100 bucks more, im not rich but when the 60gb dropped to 450 i jumped on it.

I think $300 sounds good as the 20GBs in my neighborhood go for about $500 and the used 40GBs go for $350. Then again, if I'm buying a game system that is that expensive, as I still have a relatively new slimPS2, I'd rather have a new 40GB for a little more than the used route. :roll:

The 20g version doesn't play PS1 or PS2 titles if I recall correctly and if that matters to you.

just PS2, all of them play PS1, why else would they let you download them off of PSN.

I'm pretty sure the 20GB and 60GB were fully backwards compatible with PS2 and PS1 games, they both had PS2 hardware inside.

FYI to all: The 20 and 60 US + JP PS3s play PS2 games. The Euro 60 had issues and even the US + JP 20 and 60 were only 99.x % B/C anyways.

my Dad bought a 20gb just to use as a Blu-Ray player when they went on clearence, i bought my 60 when they went on clearence also so we have 2 ps3's. The 20 doesnt play PS2 games, i know, i was trying to play GTA Vice City on it and it wont see it as a game.

I also checked on sonys official site, there is no option for compatibilty with 20gb on the compatible games list.
