He can't troll in the Wii thread without getting flamed to bits, so he does it here instead.
Sorry Evilhead, couldn't resist.
Youkai: PS3 compatible with PS1 software? That's kinda reaching. Do you have any reasoning or source to back this up?
Because PS3 is backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2?
Look how monstrous the system is. They have like all things needed to play both playstations in it.
Worse than that. The PS3, quite literally, has a PS2 BUILT IN. So if you already own a PS2 that works just fine, you're being ripped off that cash by being forced to re-purchase your PS2 all over again.
And I'm sure if one goes, they both do. So if the PS3 blows, the PS2 is useless. If the PS2 blows, the PS3 is useless. Kinda surprised Evilhead hasn't ripped about that yet, since he just -loves- to bitch about being "forced" to buy the same thing over and over.
And for the PS3 download service that lets you get PS1 games for 5 bucks? I can go hit up any of 30 large pawnshops and get the games for 2-3 bucks. 5 for the harder to find games like SaGa Frontier. I know a place that pays $1 per PS1 game, then turns around and sells them in the bargain bin, 5 for 20 bucks. And that's in Canadian funds.
Either way you cut it, Sony's just out to rip people off with this service. If you can play the originals on the same hardware, and you can find them for cheaper, why would you bother with what limited selection they'd offer, for more?
You can't fucking find them anywhere around here.
