Like he said, the new PS3s can't play ps2 games at all. If you get an old ps3, you still won't be able to play SS. The system is region free, the games for ps3 are. PS2 games are still region coded so you can't play them on any ps3.

Its better if you still have your PS2 that works multi-region (normally modded ones).

I agree, the japanese backward compatible PS3s are 600+ dollars, when the non backward compatible japanese PS3s are $350+. I would recommend just buying a modded PS2 and a regular PS3.
