This is to dispel some confusion among potential consumers mind. Although the 40 gig PS3 isnt backwards compatible with ps2 games (AT THE MOMENT) it can fully emulate all PS1 games.
However look forward to firmwire updates which would make software emulation of PS2 games possible on PS3.
This is what BIZ DAILY is reporting :-
"GameDaily BIZ also contacted SCEE spokesman Nick Sharples who told us, "We have made clear on many occasions that our priority is on developing innovative new features and services for PS3 and not on backwards compatibility. The 40GB model no longer contains any elements of the PS2 chip set which powered backwards compatibility in previous models, and is therefore only compatible with PS one titles."
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
That the 60gig PS3 bundle with 2 games just cost 350 pounds in UK vs 299 pounds for the 40 gig version (geared only at those who want just the next gen gaming ).
It is a great decision from SONY since 120 million people already have a ps2 and wont be buying ps3 for ps2 games.
HOWEVER a CELL can fully emulate MAC OS at 60fps so emulation of PS2 games in the future by CELL is very much possible.
BUT do you honestly want to play ps2 games after playing ultrarealistic HS and UNCHARTED
NO
XBOTS please stay off this topic . We dont want ur opionion ---ur console is sheer garbage and contains no NEXT GEN BD PLAYER,NO WIFI and NO HDMI 1.3
and not to forget x360 has 100% defective rate
with this PRICE EUROPE has now fallen to ps3 domination. NA and JAPAN to go
:)
This PS3 sku seems aimed right at PS2 owners. Whom havnt already snatched up a ps3. They would probably have liked there to be some ps2 BC though. So maybe its just for folks who wont spend 500+ on a console.
Good to see ps3s price dropping in time for the holidays.
Software emulation should take care of PS2 games.
Hopefully, Sony won't go back on their word with that.
well, its pretty obvious that the 40gb version will be able to play PS2 games in the future. I guess they're creating a PS2 Emulator for the PS3
The 40gb PS3 would actually be better for me because I have 3 times as many PS1 games than Ps2 games like Parapa The Rapper, FF7-9, Legend of Dragoon, and my list goes on and on.
