New Playstaion 3 160 Gb lacks backward compatible

I wanted to know when will the newer version of ps3 be able to play ps2 and ps1 games ...will there be any need of additional software or what?

 

There may be additional software for the newer PS3 models (40gb,80gb,160gb) which will make them compatible.

So far the 60gb had PS2 hardware built into it.

 

But that 60 Gb PS3 is not in production anymore!...so the later PS3 had an emulation built into it to play PS2 games..but the newly released ones have not that emulation...so any ideas that this could be treated anyone else!

 

I think sony will release that in the future.
They can't keep the 160gig users in the dark about the backwards compability.

 

i dont know if that can really happen also as they said they are planning to go on future upfates for PS3 rather thinking of PS2...only if som one finds a crack!

 

so guys anyone knows the cracks or placements for this PS3!

 

are PS3's hackable yet?? I dont wanna spend bux buying original games!

 

the problem is that newer versions dont ave BS...hacking it is far ahead!...so some one with a ps3 share ur views plz!!!

 

Playing pirate versions make players less enthusiastic towards games they play cause they know they dont have to apreciate every dollar they spent on it.

 

welll.the matter here is how BC can be brought to this 160gb PS3....???

 

They won't bring back backwards compatibility. It raises the cost of the system. They took the feature out to get the price of the PS3 more competitive. If demand is there, they might add the feature back later as a selling point, however, I'm not sure how it benefits Sony to let us play old games. They want us to go out and buy new games. They don't get any money when we buy PS1 games and soon they won't get any money when we buy PS2 games (as soon as they quit making them).

 

i seriously doubt you will play your ps1,2 games when you have so many great games on ps3, besides you should still have your ps2 anyway so why bother? It doesn't bother me at all, I have the 40GB version

 

so @project mobius ..the 40 Gb ps3 is capable of playing all PS2 games or not!.....

and lets say befoore they released PS3 ps1 games and console was stopped in production..so ones having ps1 games still needed something to play on...the feature then was added to ps2 and ps3 ...but why not ps2 now?...there must be a big story behind it...

someone give ideas if u know any!

 

no its not and the story is to cut cost? and there will always be 2nd hand ps1 or ps2 consoles out there i don't see why you want to worry about this

 

no how could there be a 2nd host for ps1 and ps2...when ps1 is not in production at all!

 

SECOND HAND! as in someone who doesn't want it and put it up for sale. geez....

 

see @pro mob...net everyone can find a second hand!...so what do we do then!...ps3's start point was to be BC with older games...now they r moving on ...to win the game against xbox 360 and wii..

 

i don't see why its so hard to find one if you actually try, and i don't see any time soon about cutting ps2 production infact there are still games coming out for ps2, its your fault for waiting for so long to get a past gen console.

 

my point is all i want to play PS1 and ps2 games in the newer latest PS3...so any modchip could do that help..
