Sony has patented a means whereby you can play PS2 games on a PS3. And they’re some kooky means. Rather than releasing (or, well, re-releasing) a new model of the PS3 that’s PS2-compatible, or a firmware update allowing PS2 games to run on all PS3s, or porting PS2 games to the PlayStation Network so they…
