Am I a traitor? Maybe.

So... I bought a PS3.

WHAT.Yep, sure did. I bought the bundle that included Metal Gear Solid 4 with an 80 GB HD, and I also purchased Soul Calibur IV. I have yet to play MGS4, but I've played a ton of SCIV so far, and I can definitely say that it's just more of the same with fancier graphics.. and that's all. But that's a good thing for SC, ( Read more... )

As far as backwards compatibility goes I don't think the newer PS3's let you play PSX games. So, I hear. If you can confirm that that really do it may swing the ps3 into favor with me.

Actually, it does.

All models of the PS3 are backwards compatible with PSOne games, it's the Emotion Engine from the PS2 that's being taken out of newer model 80 GB PS3s -- with that hardware gone, the games have to be emulated from software to download.

Mine, thankfully, is the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle which still contains the Emotion Engine architecture.

I think once Sony phases out these bundles, all newer PS3's will require an update that allows for PS2 emulation... some games may work.. some may not. That's the only downside to it all.
