PS3 needs adapter for PS2 memory cards?

[wraggster]

Give the PlayStation 3 your PlayStation or PlayStation 2 games, your original gray PSX controller, or the first dual shock from back in the late '90s. But keep memory card to your damn self. Well, not really, but it does look like Sony will require an adapter on the PlayStation 3 to be able to read memory cards from previous PlayStation consoles, as specified by their site. Not, not really a big deal at all unless they act all, um, Sony on us and don't bundle the adapter with the console. But we'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt though, as we wouldn't want to unduly accuse them of preparing to gouge consumers on a yet-to-be-released console, right? Right, Sony? Ok, good, glad we've come to an understanding with one another.

Well bigger games means bigger saves. So 8mb would limit you quite a lot anyway. I reccon the'll add MSPD for the memory cards. Or have they already stated otherwise?

Hello:

Sony Stated that the PS3 $599 version comes with multiple memory slots, but they didn't said something about a PS1/PS2 card input to use. Also they stated that the $499 version doesn't have any slots.

It is reasonable, at least, to include a USB adapter for reading those cards with the package. After all, The price of PS3 is high enough to buy from day one that adapter separately. Let's hope it will be to the benefit of consumers.
