Man, that's weak. Sacrificing compatibility for space. Does that thing still have memory cards at least?

Memory sticks. Sadly there is no PS1/2 memory card ports, so any date you have from the old games will not be transferable to the PS3. Not even on the 60 GB version.

Man, that's weak. Sacrificing compatibility for space. Does that thing still have memory cards at least? They didn't sacrifice compatibility for space. Its not like they had the option of FULL COMPATIBILITY or EXTRA 20GB HD. They threw in another 20GB updated the PS3's hardware to the latest model (thus removing the EE and used software emulation which has been used in PAL countries since the PS3's PAL release in MARCH) and added one of there best selling games Motorstorm. Memory sticks. Sadly there is no PS1/2 memory card ports, so any date you have from the old games will not be transferable to the PS3. Not even on the 60 GB version. You can transfer your saves. You need to buy a memory card adaptor. Sony has released one and im sure there are some 3rd party ones available. I personally view the 80 GB version as a product of desperation. Sony is not adding anything new to the system and in fact REMOVING something from the original design. The Emotion Engine is part of the original concept of the PS3, so to me the 80 GB version is downright incomplete. The EE wasn't part of the original concept. They threw it in there because it made it easier to emulate PS2 games. During the PS3's development they didn't have much PS2 games working on just software emulation so that's why they decided to put in the EE. They took it out of the 80GB because its cheaper to produce without it and they have got decent compatibility now using software emulation and it continuously gets updates with more games. |

I'm not crazy about emulation software. Having an actual PS2 component in the system to run old games sounds better than reling on emulation. IMO anyway. I still see the 80 GB version as incomplete.
And good news on those memory card adapters. Will have to snag one.

I thought EE made it to where you could play the ps1/ps2 games on the ps3. Is EE just for graphics then?

Emotion Engine was the heard and soul of the PS2. EE in the PS3 made the PS3 play PS1 and PS2 games. The new 80 GB PS3 will not have EE, and instead will rely on emulation software. By comparison the emulation software won't play nearly as many PS1 and PS2 games as the EE.

But if your set on using the PS3 for mostly PSone and PS2 emulation then get 60GB. |

60 GB, here I come. I don't play games that much anymore so it should be better.

I already have 60GB! But its the PAL version... which means NO EE!!! hahahaha but still i don't have a problem with it. For my games it works.  And besides i have a PS3 to play PS3 games. I have a PS2 to play PS2 games. But the PS3 can upscale ps2 and ps1 games so that makes the quality better on my HDTV. |

did you have to turn on that PS1/PS2 filter to make them look MGS1 look right? I did. Looks like and smooth now!
I also use the old consoles to play old games. My original gray PlayStation works well and is constantly used. Same for my PS2. But I like to have a backup, just in case.

Man, both of my ps1s cords broke. Not that it really mattered. Always use the ps2 for the ps1 games. It's what I always play Symphony Of The Night on. And in case your wondering, mine isn't the greatest hits version. It's the original black disc.

You know what, I don’t like to play my PSone games on the PS2. I’m just picky. Take MGS1 for example. On the PS2 you can see the infrared beams without sigs or goggles if you are playing on the PS2.

Nobody said it was perfect. It's more for the conveince. You know, don't have to go and disconnect everything, then connect a new thing, the after your done bringing it back to its original setup. Time consuming and a pain in the ASS if you got a ton of wires behind your tv.

But you can only have the resolution as high as your tv can handle. And its not a HDTV then you cant really do much. lol |
