No more worries!! The PS3 is backwards compatible!!!
« on: September 03, 2003, 03:11:53 AM »
In a talk with Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, Ken Kutaragi, head honcho at Sony Computer Entertainment, officially confirmed that the successor to the PlayStation 2 will in fact be backward compatible with not only PS2 games, but also PS one games.

"PS one runs on PlayStation 2 through emulation rather than actual hardware. PlayStation 3 will offer the same compatibility for PS2 software and the format will continue forever," Kutarai explained.

The inclusion of backward compatibility is not all that surprising, but we\'re glad it\'s finally official. Now we don\'t have to worry about having ten consoles and the corresponding wire mess in our living rooms.



The reason to why I am so excited is because I have not bought one pirated copy game for the PS2.  (I had my original PS1 for 6 years and bought over 60 pirated games but none of them worked on the new PS2 system at the time and left me without any PS1 games. )  I learned my lesson and decided to only buy the original thing.  I now have 25 PS2 and 3 Gamecube games that are all original
:D

That\'s good to hear.
I hope they just leave it at Dual Shock 2 and dont upgrade the controller because the one thing I hated was the fact that some games wanted the Dual Shock 2 controller like bouncer.

So the PS3 plays PS2 and PSX? If so, thats gonna be cool. Even if it plays just PS2 and PS3 that\'ll be fine with me.

Yeah. Its great to just have one universal system. I still keep my ps and everything but now i can have all my other crap hooked up at the same time. And yes all the problems have not been adressed but there is time and this is just a tidbit of the whole. Kool yer jets

If it\'s software emulation, I sure hope they make is PSX compatible, because I have a whooole lot of square games that I keep coming back to every so often.

As for the rest, you know they\'re going to redesign the controller... even though I think it\'s perfect now (maybe they could make it wireless/rechargeable).

it\'s not that bloody hard to do. it\'d be stupid if they didn\'t do it. its a requirement and you\'re giving them cudos as if it\'s a curtesy.
