should let us play PS1 and PS2 games
yeah sounds awesome
Pretty sure the PS3 could do this too… So?
Not all PS3s
The big deal is that when PS4 comes out it’s probably going to be expensive right? Adding to that the games will be expensive too right? So it’s like all the games you’ve owned won’t go to waste and you will have a good collection to start with and won’t have to spend a lot on games. Hope it makes sense
Most PS3s can’t. If you bought the $600 ones they could play SOME of the PS2 games, but that’s it.
Not backwards compatible. Used games not compatible too
if it plays ps1 ps2 ps3 games then it will be the ultimate console in the world!!
it had better be. I’m lucky enough that I have a fully back compatible PS3 and if I get a PS4 I don’t want to lose that
I really hope it’s backwards compatible. I have more PS2 games than anything. I thought that was the downfall of all the new “great technology” was that they couldn’t go back a generation. The wii could and the discs were different sizes! The PS2 could, but the 360 and the PS3 supposedly the most “advanced” couldn’t. :/ Lame. So hopefully Sony will learn.
the xbox and ps3 can its the newer ps3 that dont play the ps2 games but they play ps1
yes ps1, 2 and 3
