I picked up a PS3 today from Wal-Mart:



Also for those interested in PS3's Wal-Mart is giving out a free $100 gift card this week when you buy a 40 GB (only one out now) and a $100 gift card will be given to those picking up the MGS 4 bundle next week. Nice deal if you are in the market.

I agree with Bigbob, at this moment, PS3 has only 2 games I'm interested in that the xbox 360 doesn't have (MGS & GT5). And since I have a xbox 360, no need for a PS3 yet. Though that is a really good deal and does sound tempting, but I still couldn't justifying spending that much money for 2 games
...unless they had final fantasy 7 remake

Looks fun but I kinda stopped playing the Final Fantasy games after they left the playstation

Don't have time for them anymore and I'm still mad that FF10 got rid of the world map and sorta changed the way the games played


EDIT: BUT I am getting a 42 inch (or 46 inch) LCD HDTV (1080p) in a month or so and I will want a bluray player so getting a playstation 3 might justify that...

That was the other thing I was going to bring up, for it's price, it's supposed to be a good Blu-Ray player.

Just PS1, though there's a rumor Sony may make it able to play PS2 games this fall.

If I can find more facts backing up that rumor I might be more interested. If I'm going to get a PS3, I sorta want it to play PS2 games since I never owned a PS2 but also don't want to bother buying a PS2 when I can get a PS3 to play it also.

Some of the models can play PS2 games, they are just tougher to find.

Just buy the 80 gig PS3. It can play PS1 and PS2 games. Very well, infact. I actually was able to play some PSX games that were scratched up very badly on my 80 gig PS3.

It wont be long (if not already) people will have custom firmwares to emulate older versions.

I know you can get a PS2 driven arcade machine, so custom firmwares are out there.

The older versions of the PS3 were able to play PS1 and PS2. But then they removed the functionality for some reason. I believe that they now recently reinstated the PSX backwards compatibility in their machines.

I highly doubt that the PS3 would be able to play PSX games, and not PS2.

According to wikipedia
the PS3 is fully backwards compatable with PS1 games, and only the 20, 60 and 80gb models are backwards compatable with PS2.

I assume thats US/JP only, because the release in Europe and Australia had very limited compatibilty titles.


Also, i thought the only difference between them is the HDD size, apparnetly there is a fair few differences.

Yeah I looked at the comparison chart on Sony the other day and yeah there are a few differences. I think I'll wait til I have more money and get the 80 GB model as Justin said.

And yeah Bob, I didn't want to bring it up, but there will probably be a firmware that will let you emulate PS2 games, and since the PS3 is such a beast, it's not a big deal that it's being emulated.

Since XBox 360 is a beast, will that be able to emulate PS2 games also?

In terms of raw power I'm pretty sure PS3 has it beat.

Actually they're almost exactly even

Gamespot.com proved the 360 has slightly better graphics than the Playstation 3.
