    FFXI on PS3

    How does one go about putting FFXI on the new slim version? It keeps saying that the PS3 doesn't support the PS2's discs.

    You don't. The new slim PS3's don't have backwards compatibility and therefore cannot play FFXI.

    yep, you'd need to get one of the old fat PS3's. not 100% on this, but i *think* the old 80GB premium that was available thru mid-2008 was the last system to have PS2 BC.

    if it's any consolation though, XI is pretty horrid on PS3. feels like it runs even slower than it did on the PS2, and it still has the awful input lag with USB keyboards.

    MGS4 bundle 80GB is the last PS3 to have PS2 compatibility.

    yeah I used my friends account to farm on my ps3 while I did events on my account with my ps2. If I ever brought my friends account to events it would lag extremely bad.

    Yeah, don't even bother. It runs worse on the PS3 (the supported ones) than on the PS2 as it as.
