Some 80gigs do have backward compatibility, like the MGS4 80GB Pack which I own.

Anyway, its a damn shame that it wont play on my PS3. Time to dust off my PS2 then.

I bet it'll work on the BC-compatible 80gigs soon-time. When Mana Khemia came out in March, it didn't play. The firmware update following its release gave it support though. I bet Kingdom Hearts will be made to work with a future update, too. I kind of expect the same thing with Persona 4 next week. I'll buy it, but I expect to not be able to play it immediately. If that happens, I'm cool with it, because I still have Valkyria Chronicles to keep me busy, among other games.

Well, could be worse, no BC on 40gb. I don't mind since I own a slim but I don't have it with me. So, no KH or Persona 4 for me till I go back for the break.

1.4 - hmmmmmmm...Unable to attack?
That seems like an odd minor bug.
Could be fixed in a firmware update.

Though I have a 60GB PS3, I still prefer the non-smoothed output of the PS2 using component cables. Personally, I think there's no reason any JRPG fan should not have a PS2, even if they have a BC PS3.

3 - 60GB
That's right, I'm a lucky 60GB owner. So if I "wanted" to play a gameboy game on my PS3, I could. But I don't...

6.1 - But they will have software backwards compatibility in the firmware 3.0 update
It was rumored to almost be in 2.53 but sony pulled it at the last min because of issues.

We will just have to see.

It should work since it's a launch PS3 and those 60 gigs have b/c, I unfortunately have the 40 gig with no b/c, but I do have a ps2 that I use frequently for JRPG's! XD

It works, it just doesn't work good

"you can move around but aren’t able to attack"

But...
"Update: There is a work-around. If you download a game save from after the tutorial (first battle) the rest of the game will work fine."

So apparently it does work if you do it right :P
I'm not getting anyways, already played the GBA version and this one doesn't interest me despite the improvements.
I'll wait for Birth By Sleep :P

Square Enix proves their stupidity with this release. Both KH and KH2 sold more in the US than it did in Japan. Yet Japan gets both Final Mixes. What's more, we don't even get the FULL Final Mix + for KH2, we are stuck with only HALF of it, priced full?

No thanks. Square Enix = EA Lite.
