What are my options finding a PS3 that is hardware backwards compatable with the PS2?
I have always wanted one of the PS3 units that is backwards compatible with ps2 games using internal hardware (instead of the later software BC PS3s). Do I have any chance of finding a nice unit now? I have been looking at e-bay, and most of them seem to have gotten hot enough to burn their graphic chip off of the motherboard.
I have also read anything but a complete graphic chip re-ball is just on borrowed time. For example, there is an old 20GB PS3 in a local shop that has been re-flowed with some sort of professional station beyond the common heat gun approach. But I don't see it lasting long.
Should I just stick to a PS2 slim hooked up with a regular PS3? Nerdtendo's threads and others make me think I should keep any PS3 system that is working well and consider myself lucky.
