New Playstation 3!!

[HappySlapper82]

300 go for it! mine cant play PS2 games is there any emulation software out that allows it on the 40gb ps3s?

Not for PS3. It's hard wired on the 60gig

[poita]

on the 60GB it's a combination of software and hardware that allow it to play ps2 games

hope new one allows ps2 games, but it wont.. or know one will buy ps2s anyhmore, cant believe they still sell them

this reminds me of the psone re-release... which had heaps of problems with overheating

The software/hardware required to play the psone and ps2 games are what cost the extra amount to bump the console up to $1k when they first came out. But it was so worth it

[poita]

will not support ps2 games at all

ps2 has been pretty muched phased out
we are clearing our stock to get rid of em

wont be ordering anything anymore, and manufacturers arent making or supplying bits for them.

Septemeber 3rd still stands as the release date

I can get myself an original PS3 with one controller for 300 bucks. Worth it?

especially when you could slap it straight onto ebay with a few games and get almost $1000, yes.
ive seen new 60gb systems sell for over $1700 on ebay!
we paid $900 for ours, it was the only one left in target in c/town. they wanted $999 but we bargained with them.

And the habit of the top not staying shut and the laser deciding to crap itself

this happened on all models of ps1.
but still nowhere as often as xbox/xbox 360 problems.



pete, thankyou for posting original post. i knew it was coming, just wasnt sure when.

haz, yeah they usually bring out a slim model when they are bringing out the next gen console. but the reason for sony doing this is to reduce costs and increase interest.
sony has been unable to reduce costs of the bigger console because as it is they are making a loss on each console. im unsure as to whether they will make profit off this newer size etc, but i doubt it, might just be a bit cheaper.

in my opinion, this newer size makes me think of nintendo, gamecube actually. smallish looking box.
the wii is selling huge amounts of units, and i dont think it can be denied that the wii is a "childrens" console, ie mainly childrens software.

maybe the ps3s new look is to make it look attractive to children, if you know what i mean... cute? although i dont think it looks cute lol.


ruth is looking forward to the new ratchet, and im looking forward to the new gt.

and pete, im with you...PLAY TV !!! hurry the fk up!

just a bit more info for chris, you can play ps1 games on the 60gb too.
incase your wondering why in the hell anyone would want to play ps1 games,,,,
tomb raider 1 and 2
rage racer
pandemonium 1 and 2

also you can transfer your ps1 and ps2 game saves from your memory cards onto your ps3.

60gb also has 4 usb slots instead of 2 like on the 40/80gb models.
this helps when you have eyetoy/singstar/buzz plugged in while 2 or more controllers are charging.

also, 60gb is the only model that comes with sd/ms card slots, so you can put your mem card in straight from your digital cam etc and play movies, pics, music straight from the stick through your ps3.
