Purple Haze Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Probably Home-related, considering how big that will be once the MGS4 hoopla dies down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunkenMaster Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Sorry to spoil all the fun, but I've an ear close to the ground on this one, and I know that its going to be a free Play Station 3. Ok, I'm not working right now. So PS3 is out of my budget. I can hope this is true. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 They're going to announce 100% backward compatability for all models like they should have had to begin with?!? Sweet! How? even with software emulation that will not promise 100% compatiblity. The thing is I don't think backwards compatiblity is that important to Sony anymore (it was a great selling point to begin with though) considering the 40Gb has no PS2 support and apparently there is a new model (based off the 40Gb) coming. If anything, they might announce a new model that will have 100% backwards compatibility (i.e. they figured out how to make the EE + GS cheaper) but I doubt 40Gb owners will ever see PS2 compatibility (I could be wrong, but the feeling I get was the 40Gb was never intended to play PS2 games, period) However, I think the announcement won't be on that at all. My guess is it might have something todo with the recent Blu-Ray victory (I'm probally totally wrong, but somehow I get a feeling Sony really wanna rub it in MS's face that they won) of cause this is purely my opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.

bdsams Veteran Posted March 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted March 17, 2008 I wonder if its a US DVR for the ps3...I'm going to pick up a ps3 once there are enough titles/features to make it a worthy purchase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsolete_power Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 They're going to announce 100% backward compatability for all models like they should have had to begin with?!? Sweet! Not possible because the 40GB/80GB models don't have the physical Emotion Engine chip so 100% is not possible for those models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnzoFX Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Re: Backwards Compatibility, I think Sony has the right Idea, that it's a selling point when the console is new, and more irrelevant once there are enough games for it. I for one don't care for backwards thinking, I mean Backwards compatibility.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apex. Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I would like to play Final Fantasy XII on my PS3 in decent quality (lol) but I had to buy the 40gb version due to the fact all major UK suppliers now don't sell the 60gb version, so a software update including BC for all would be a great plus, maybe throw in some PS2 upscaling and antialiasing in there, might breathe new life into aging PS2 games, especially in the HD generation. The UK PVR looks exciting too, cant wait to see if it will communicate with cable or satellite. As for Home, it still needs a bit of work done to it (I have the good fortune to be beta testing it) but it's slowly but surely getting there. Not too far off a release I hope. EDIT: I completely forgot about E3 this year, man it sure has lost it's illustrious grandure as the MUST-SEE gaming event of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
