What firmware is your PS3 on? If you're on 3.60 or higher, you'll need a hardware to downgrade and it's expensive. To answer the other question, Cobra will enable you to play PSOne, PS2 (I think), and PSP games.Originally Posted by adam4landry

To anwser your question i am thinking in buying a ps3 for myself (that mean i dont have one yet) do i really need to downgrade the ps3 to make the cobra to work ???? Also the cobra can play psone, ps2 and psp but not ps3 i read somewhere that it can play ps3 backup from a hard drive or did i read wrong ????

If you buy new you will. You can play PS3 games but, you'll be limited to games requiring lower than 3.60 firmware. You'll also need to find the patched EBOOTs for them.

I think? I don't own a Cobra so I'm not sure on the specifics.

It doesn't matter how you can play them as long as you can play them.

As I recall, PS2 support is there for slims but, it's piss compatibility and the games run slow. You're better off playing PS2 games on your PS2 unless you're planning on getting a launch model PS3. Even if you did get a fat, you wouldn't be able to transfer your saves over without the PS2 memory card adapter.
