apparantly, this my be hitting the market soon...so, if it does...you think a used 20 Gig would go down in price.  If it hits $300, I will buy it.
Also, rumored $400 system is 40 Gigs.

Heard about it and I don't really doubt it but still, I think it would have the new emulation thing where its software oriented and it won't be as good as it is with the current 500$ ones.

That's why I'd try to score the 20 Gig, which is bound to be reduced in price after the 40 gig comes out.

Eh. Deal's way too good to be true. It's gonna have some kind of hidden fuckup like the PSP and playing games on the TV.

Didn't they already run out of teh 20 gig? I know they already stopped making the 20 and the 0 and they stopped teh 20 earlier than the 60.

Only gay niggaz read and write. Shiiiiit.

I'll be more tempted to get one when they start making the little versions that they always do (you know, PSone, PStwo, etc). I don't care so much about the hard drive space as I do about the backwards compatability.

I think a $300 20GB is impossible right now, that deal would be too good.  Besides 20gb are being phased out.

And now that the 80 gb's out, they've stopped making 60 gbs.

Maybe that's WHY they're so cheap. Because they know that when the 60 and 80 GB models come out, no one's gonna want a 20 GB model, so they're trying to make their money before they roll out the big boys.

Hey guys, SCEE just announced it will come out...with no Ps2 compatability...but I really don't care, because I never planned on replacing my Ps2 anyway.

I like my slimline PS2. I highly doubt I'll ever get a PS3, unless it (a) has some real nifty exclusive games I wanna play that I can't get on 360, and (b) is at a price that's worth paying.

the 40gb still has BC right?  it's just through emulation..
Title: Re: So, I keep hearing about this $400 PS3
Post by: Kale on October 05, 2007, 09:30:50 PM
I think it will, I might have read something about it not having software emulation... but I'm not so sure about that. I think the 40 will have software emulation though.

However... I got the swedish press release yesterday, and it says there will be no BC at all. Thing is, we've only had software emulation from the very beginning, so why would they even say that if it didn't mean that from now on, PS2 games on a PS3 is history?

I hope I'm reading it wrong, or that it's some kind of typo...

Why would anyone need backwards compatibility, though.  I mean, we all have Ps2's, and if you don't...whyyyyyy?

My Ps2 is dying, and my other is dead, the only reason I got 2 is cuz I my borther repaired someone eles and they moved away while he did it >.>

Both of my friend's ps2 is dead. And no he doesn't mod.Not to mention people sell their old ps2.

So yea, thats why.

Hey kale, just import yourself a Japanese or NTSC 60gb and you've got full BC.

nah.... I can't seem to tell myslf to waste that much money on a system with only a couple of games I want. Not to mention around here, its 500 for teh 60gb, its not out around here yet.

I'm just giving reasons for hd bc.
