Playstation 3

POSTED BY: Naeem786 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Hi

I am thinking of getting a PS3 and just wondering how hard are the 60GB versions to get hold of?? As I have got PS2 games!! Will it be worth me splashing out more on a 60GB than a 40GB??

I wanna get one as wanna play GT Prolouge and when new Tekken comes out its going to be awesome!!!

Very very hard to get one new anywhere outside of fleabay (ebay).

The price difference is quite wide so you could just buy another PS2 (but then you probably have one).

Hard drive is easily upgradeable for very little so don't factor that into your choice.
So with hard drive upgrade I can play PS2 games?

P.S I do own a PS2 and PS1

No, the only model ever sold in the UK that supports PS2 BC is the now discontinued 60GB (well not now, many months ago).

What I mean to say is, don't go buying a 60GB just because you want an extra 20GB HD space.. you could replace the 40GB HD for very little, but you'll never be able to play PS2 games with a 40GB model.
Cool!! Looks like I will have to go for a 40GB! Rumours of sumat new coming out though??

There's always rumours of a new model flying around, I've been hearing 80GB rumours for months now and yet nothing has come of it.

I don't know if Sony are going to release a new model tomorrow, no-one knows.. just up to you how much you want a PS3 now, right now.
Not desperate for one as just want it!!! As im free now wanna play games!!!

Tekken 5 DR is great online, people take it pretty seriously, the best £15 i spent in a while def worth a download looks suprisingly good in 1080p too. Might be a while for tekken 6 tho but Sould calibur 4 will be good I hope. There are rumours about PS2 games being distributed through the PSN like ps1 games are now with software loader. That would make sense as to why BC has been completely removed from worldwide circulation. Although the upscaling features are great on the PS3 it is a shame people need to hold on to their old ps2's to play the games. Grab a cheap 40gb from choices i reckon.

Were not like you PS3 fanboys allways turning respectable 360 threads into war zones. (Higher levels of respect and all that crap)

Anyway. Dont buy a PS3 to play your PS2 games on. The back compat is lackluster with games being bug ridden and bad graphics. Do yourself a favor and buy the 40gig version and keep your ps2. Best of both playstation worlds. Or you could wait a bit, im sure sony has a new version of the ps3 up their sleeves with all the current probs sorted.

TBH there arent really any probs other than the back compat disappearing from the 40gig model (might have exaggerated that lol). Also there aren't many games worth spending all that money to play (of course that's opinion).

I know thats what I think as PS3 are just in a league of their own and so is X-Box! Games are easier to get on X-Box but some games I want are not available!!
