PS3 Slim

[Jezza]

the new slim looks good but i like my original 60gb backwards compadible ps3 but it looks better than the ps2 slim which i think looks ugly

[dijm8]

[Gus]

is the new ps3 not backwards compatible?

[GetToDaChopa]

is the new ps3 not backwards compatible?

Don't think so. The original wasn't.

[Gus]

I'm not too familiar with the PS3 Network but am i able to download / purchase old games?

I want to play Final Fantasy and Abes Odyssey!!

[dijm8]

yes you can, they average between 4-10 dollers for ps1 games,

[Gus]

Ahh thanks man.

Purchase them via credit / debit cards then?

[dijm8]

yes credit cards or psn vouchers which are slowly coming into stores, ive only ever seen then @ game traders if u have them in sydney

my debit card dosent seem to work but my credit card does

[Gus]

Nah we dont have Game Traders in Sydney, hopefully they come soon! I'm not too fond on credit cards.
I'll give it a go when i connect it with my Debit Card..

Final Fantasy 7 + 8 + 9... wooo!

does it play ps2 games? cos i remember waiting months for the ps3 to come down in price and i fianlly got a gd deal (at the time) $699 3 games and a hdmi cable then month later new version comes out and can play ps2 games @#*^& lol i didn't realise they couldn't till i bought it bit stupid really

[White Tiger]

Don't think so. The original wasn't.

the original 60gb version with the 4usb ports and card readers was backwards compatible with most ps1/2 games but when they brought out the 40/80gb versions with the 2usb ports and no card reader they removed the backwards compatiblity and the same with th new slim so the only way to get the is trough the store

[<RaBBiT>]

sounds like the one i got cos in a game manual it showed the bit next to the cd come apart and have slots and shit in there opened mine up and its got nothing i feel rather ripped off#@&%*^

[White Tiger]

they removed the backwards compat cause apparently no one was playing ps1/2 games on it

[<RaBBiT>]

lol i would have hahha i was did the other day had to pull the ps2 out from all the dust lol

[greenfoam]

they removed the backwards compat cause apparently no one was playing ps1/2 games on it

ie. it was cheaper to make them without it

[<RaBBiT>]
