How to Use the Memory Card From a PS2 on a PS3

With the PlayStation 3 Memory Card Adaptor, it&'s possible to transfer the contents to and from your PlayStation 2 memory card to your PlayStation 3&'s hard drive. This allows players who own a backwards-compatible PlayStation 3 to upload all of their old game save files to their newer console. While you cannot save data directly to the PlayStation 2 memory card when playing PS2 games on your PS3, you can transfer data back and forth between the console and the memory card on the PlayStation 3 Home menu.
