Then I fear your only chance is a change of heart from the store owners. Perhaps they're thinking "We should have not sold that PS3 for something it isn't, if only that customer returned so we can give a full refund".tmujir955 said:
Not very likely but unless you have any proof that they sold a backwards-compatible console you cannot do anything about it.
The ticket from the cashregister perhaps?
Geez. Calm down. Go buy a used PS2 for about 40 bucks. They're not that expensive now. I'm hoping you didn't buy a PS3 just to play PS2 games. So improvise.tmujir955 said:
i couldnt, i shouldve read the box but i didnt so i payed well over an extra 100 dollars for a green xbox, a green controller, and a slightly different headset that is basically the same
Buy inFAMOUS, Batman, Ratchet & Clank, and Uncharted. Do you have a PS2, or did you trade it in when you got the PS3, or did you never have one?
Bring it back to the shop with a reciept, saying that the console was advertised to be backwards compatible. They'll either give it you straight away or take a thirty minute test (mandatory in a few companies) and ask you to come back then.
Either way, avoid being hostile. It's probably a simple mistake, and you can get a free replacement or the equivalent of one fairly easily - pissing them off isn't gonna help you out.

No it can't. The PS3 box says that the PS3 I have doesn't play ANY PS2 games, and I checked the Sony website to see if my PS2 games were compatible. They are. Yet BJ's told me it could.[/quote]xArtemisxEntrerix said:
Yes, it can. Put God of War 2 in any PS3 and I'll guarantee you it'll work.

His PS3 is one of the non-backwards compatible versions, and the box says so.
Sony's website says that the two games he tried to play will work on backwards compatible PS3's.
The website, BJ's*snicker*, claimed the PS3 was a backwards compatible version.
The standard practice in these kind of situations is to request that they open the box and check the original box to check their claims. You should do that even if you're sure that it's legitimate because you could have a box of soap instead of the console and they would claim that you put it there and you wouldn't be able to do a thing.
I work in a store and I can confirm that this happened with us (because some people that worked in our warehouse needed a VCR... they could at least steal a DVD
) so always check before you buy anything especially if it's in a cardboard box without any writing or seal.
To summarize: You're stuck with the console but you received a good lesson for future purchases. But you sure had some guts to go and buy a console in a store called BJ's.

Make sure you are in the right, because you can sue them. I would just say talk to the manager, and see if you can work something out.
