    This story should go into Sony's PS3 ads.

    Kid : Dear Playstation. Two guys forced me at gunpoint to buy them a PS3. What the hell were they thinking?

    Kevin Butler, VP of Armed Stupidity : Well, it's easy to see why they'd want one, with the PS3's blu-ray discs, free wi-fi and hit games like Uncharted 2.

    Kid : You don't get it! They freaking wanted me to buy them a shotgun, but since the gun counter was closed they said they'd settle for a PS3. I mean, what the f(beep)k?

    KB : Well, probably because it's just as efficient at close range as a shotgun. Just pick up your PS3, and wham-o! Anybody too close to you gets their head bashed in. Plus, the PS3 Slim is 30% lighter, so it's not as much of a hassle to carry around!

    Kid : OH MY GOD. WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?

    KB (playing around with things on his desk) : I'm sorry, what?

    Not to support these guys and what they did, but they really should have done this years back when the Ps3 with taxes ran for about $700, geez.

    And this shows the kind of people that use Walmart as well.... like this...

    @John Weston: .........quick summary of Street Crime:

    Those of a lower status will seek high class status symbols, that is to say expensive items that most anyone with sense wouldn't mind having if money were no object (in this case the PS3 in lieu of guns) in order to advance their perceived station in life (the equivalent of a drug dealer buying a BMW despite living in a neighborhood of poor economic status)

    Crimes are often committed to obtain those status symbols whether it be through theft, extortion, or even a legal purchase made with ill-gotten money.

    What you've told me is that you don't own nor do you have the desire to own a PS3.

    Instead this correlation exists: People who don't own/want PS3s are close minded and uninformed about why things occur. That's what you've proven anyway. #crime

    @Ali-Kharazi: a friend of mine has thoroughly tested 50 of his PS2 games, none failed. Well, SoulCalibur3 was kinda slow. All PS2 games I've tested looked better on the BC PS3.
    Still, it is known that there are some problematic games, for which there's an official compatibility list. You're out of luck.
    p.s. "won't let me save" - did you create and format a virtual memory-card beforehand?
