Yea.. they couldn't afford it so they stopped making that version from what I gather.
Older versions could do it.

Get a new NFS...
No the new PS3 will not play PS2 games, but it will play PS1 games.

The first version (80gig I think it was) could play all PS1, PS2, and PS3 games as it had the physical hardware inside to do so. The other versions (60 gig, 120gig) don't have that. Sony decided to switch over to what Microsoft does with the 360 and do it as a software upgrade and at Sony's discretion as to what games can and can't be played. So if you can find an older 80gig version (I think that's the one it was) then that's what you want to get.

I'm sure if you ignore their product and don't buy anything made by Sony they will make you a version that is backwards compatible so you can play NFS.
You can probably pick up a used version for 20 bucks, is it really that big of a deal?
Yup, it was the 80gig, sheep lover is correct.

How often do you really play ps2 games, I know prior to getting PS3 I haven't touched my ps2 in several months, plus new games + better graphics > older games, worse graphics.

Holy ****, I wish that was my worst problem in life to get upset about 
It takes 30 seconds to hook up the PS2 when you want to play it, what's the big deal 
I could see if your PS2 burnt out and you wanted to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by buying a PS3 but damn dude...relax a bit, you'll live longer.

the new ps3 is not ps2 compatible because they want people to buy ps3 games, once the ps3 game sales increase they will release a software update for the ps2 compatibility.
