I was looking at purchasing a ps3 60gb to run ps2 games. I was offered one for about 120$.
What the changes it could go YLOD? or are there other alternative to run ps2 games?
Thanks

PS3 60GB console still worth it?

If you are look to play PS2 games exclusively, then get a second hand PS2.
If you still want to get a PS3, make sure you check the game compatibilities - as not all games work properly with PS3.
thanks guy. it was second hand from but i do get a 3 month warranty from the seller
I have my 60GB PS3, the fan is ridiculously loud on it even when it sits on the XMB. Personally I would just buy a cheap PS2 and use that.
I wouldn't pay $120 for a console that old, brand new 360's were like $80 a few months ago. Definitely go the ps2 route
You could mod a ps3 to run ps2 isos or even emulate them on pc
emulate them.
but won't the ps3 upscale to 1080p?
I've already have a 40gb console but i has 4.5 version of firmware, idon't think i really want to down grade it.You can downgrade (hardware method is the only option I think) then upgrade back to 4.5 custom firmware.
do you still have the original PS2 discs?
I still think it's better to use PS2, play it with component av cable on HDTV.also PS3 has a lot of remastered PS2 games and classic PS2 games if you don't have the discs.
i got most of them original, but some in NTSC format. figured the upscaling was the main attraction.
If it was Brand new that's a pretty good deal!
Otherwise I would avoid it and just buy a second hand PS2 (or brand new if you can find one)!
Don't buy the slims as I find they have a very poor laser. I'd recommend the FAT model such as the 390002.
