all these people complaining "not being able to play ps2 games" are retarded.You buy a PS3 to play PS3 games you jack asses buy a ps2 if you want to play ps2 games!
if they have a "back catalog" of games they more than likely have the ps2 as well, I was just saying the fact that they took out backwards compatibility isn`t a big deal because you wanted a ps3 to play the new ps3 games, just like i think the whole playstation store with ps1 games for downloads is kind of stupid because you bought a new system, might as well get the new games to play
Go to my channel there is a free and legal way to get games and consoles absolutely FREE! Just look to the left of my channel and sign up to the link its FREE!!
i agree, they need to make it able to play PS2 games, but i guess they wouldn't make as much money because people wouldn't buy as many of the PS3 games.
youre kiding me right your competing for the top media device. i think the corect term is loosing ok. the ps3 sucks. I bought a ps2 and that was a good console but the ps3 sucks and you know why. because sony sets there standerds to high the 360 has way better games and looks way cooler (and not to mention the price) sony may think victory is at hand but there wrong!!!
it wont overheat. Reason why these systems overheat is because it uses alot of power to run. The slim has cut its power supply by 35 percent. So no worries in overheating my friend
ok i have both consoles and from my experience they both have their issues heres a list for you ps3: blu-ray drive jamming controller not conecting or being picked up by the console yellow light of death extremely heavy to carry around(well not anymore if you get slim) xbox360: red ring of death scratches discs over heats Fat power brick(lol i had to mention that one) i could go on. my point every thing has problems at somepoint it takes time for them to be fixed so you have to live with it
Im gettin it but inda dissapointed on how it looks like. Gotta wait though to see w/ my own eyes. To be honest they should have kept the old tyle just make it slimmer.
Sony Fucked up the Fat Ps3... .Thats why this ps3 slim is coming out so soon.. Sony has alot of ground to pick up on.. the ps3 fat is the sega saturn and ps3 slim is the dreamcast
i want to upgrade mine to this, but just like other models, it won't include ps2 compatibility and linux will be removed. I have linux installed on the 320GB HDD of my ps3, but i got all excited thinking it was gonna include ps2 compatibilty. oh well, that's why it's only worth 300 though. but the best thing is that this one weights less and won't get scratched up. is there anyone who's thinking of buying this and selling the old one as well? i need to know if the HDD will be the same size.
thanks. it's good to here the HDD will be the same size just in case i want to but the slimmer. i just found out the next update 3.0 won't allow ps2 compatibility though. do u know if sony's planning to allow it some other way?
I don't think so. There was an article yesterday on Engadget that quoted Sony's director of hardware marketing as saying: PS2 backwards compatibility "is not coming back, so let me put that on the table"
but that's screwed up. my ps2 that i got from day 1 when i was very young is now broken. i don't want to have to buy another one and have to disconnect to play the other. i think what sony should do is not include an update to allow compatibility, but they should sell a ps2 compatibilty disk that u can get for 30 or 40 bucks to install on one ps3. at least they can get serious money from that. but even though it's a good idea, they probably won't listen to me. i mean, i would buy it.
I'm pretty sure if Sony could make an update to add PS2 BC, they would. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if they add it in the future. In the meantime, if you need to play PS2 games, just get either the old 80GB model or the 60gb model on eBay. You should be able to find one for the same price or less than the new slim model.
People with the old heavy bulky looking PS3's are getting all jealous because they can't afford a new SLIM. stfu and gtfo, all you noobs dissing on the slim are all haters.
lol, sure! I love my original PS3 and I think it looks a lot better than the slim because of it's nice glossy finish. The slim's matte finish and overall look seems cheap looking to me.
There is really no reason now not to buy a PS3 instead of a 360. For a $299 value you get with the PS3 compared to what the 360 offers, is not even close.
Tretton sais the new system is 299 $ all over the world but at the conference they said it is going to be 299 $ in the US, 299 EUR (!!!) in Europe. It's a big differnce.
So here is the question: How many people have been holding out for a price drop? Because I have been trying to work my ass off trying to save, and this makes it that much better! I am getting it, and grabbing Metal Gear Solid 4.
thank god someone replied i got such a boner right now....wanna take care of it? or maybe il just stick it into the ps3 ports tomorrow when i buy it laters and million thanks
The phat model is a lot better looking than the slim 1. The PS3 is greyish black and it doesn't even shine, whereas the PLAYSTATION 3 looks much more elegant and stylish in piano black color. Please don't fuck things up by discontinuing the original "phat" model, Sony!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Thanks 4 da pricecut, though. That is very appreciated.
sony u fucking rock i love u jack tetton u are fucking awesome. ps3 sales are gonna go though the roof and ps3 will finally win the console war fuck ya i cant wait 2 get mine yes yes yes yes yes yes describes how im feeling woooohoooo
so the ps3 slim is announced and with a 120 gb harddrive around the same time that microsofts is supposed to announce the 360 price for the elite which has a 120gb hardrive now its just time to wait and we will truly see who more popular
