Hopefully sometime soon.

Even better, to stick it to the big companys… A black box that plays, PS1, 2, and 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, Game Cube, Wii, and other legacy systems like Sega Cd(32x), Sega Satern… Ect. Pretty much any Disk platform based games. I garentee a software emulation version sould most defanatly be possable, but the real challenge would lie in hardware emulation I’m guessing. But if it where possable? Wouldn’t that be Amazing?

Add Full Memory card support across all platforms, with a hard drive that imports the card’s into virtual memory cards.

Full web access, and full origanl web features for all systems… When you play your multi-platform game it wouldn’t just game with people on say for example… Need for Speed: Most Wanted for PS2… Wouldn’t just connect to the PS network… but the Xbox and PC network so you have more people to play aganst.

Or if you don’t want to piss every one off… maybe a black box that plays one off… like every thing up to PS3, Xbox360, Wii. That still could be killer.

Now add being able to play Pc/Mac games to the mix on Full graphics and 0… none, zilch, nada, NO LAG TIME… well there I belive we have an amazing machene that would piss off alot of companys… But would be and Unbeliveabe, Amazing Dream.

Now add full Cartrage game support all the way back to Atari, NES, Sega… and even some obsqure systems that never made it.

Add all the little features that the game platform designers decided where cool but where not reality because of tech or price.

I know this is a dream… But really, Is it too much to ask to have it all in the same place?

Or much simpler, a black box that has an onine data base of every game ever created and the ablity to play them all.

first question. Are all 60gb 11/2006 models? i didn’t open the box because its a gift for the children.

second question on the back of th nba2k11 it says certain patterns may trigger seizures. are they talking about the ps3 or the nbak211. and they said certain patterns. what does “certain patterns mean”? does it mean patterns from the ps3 or patterns from the nbk211.

please answer both my questions i’m concerned for the children

Sony knew the economy was going to bomb out (they have hundreds of financial slicks for just such a purpose), and they also knew that everybody was super happy to learn that the PS3 was not going to be a nail in the coffin for their hundreds and hundreds and even thousands of dollars worth of PS2 games, meaning they could transition slowly without breaking the bank, and that when their PS2’s finally died, they’d still be able to play said PS2 games.

And, so, when the economy did start bombing out, the slicks in the company knew that all of the people would (voluntarily or not) severely cut back on their new (overly-priced) PS3 game purchases, and also that many would play it cool and stick with their old, or else used and new PS2 games to save themselves undue financial strains, and costing everybody, including Sony, a hell of a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

So they cut it out, under a petty excuse we all know isn’t true – about the PS3 and the PS2 components conflicting (which, is proven false by the fact that the previous PS3’s did successfully coexist with the PS2 components without any problems whatsoever).

And that my friends is the REAL reason why Sony cut out PS2 emulation, because of the almighty dollar – “screw your happiness and screw your convenience” is the new world-wide corporate motto.

By the way, it was solely due to this reason that I decided I would not be buying a PS3 (or a replacement PS2, as mine died two years previously), and opted in for a new Notebook computer for my hard earned $$$ instead.

Screw you Sony, I’m done! Thanks for freeing me and my $$$!!! =D

It is not in Sonys interest to build in backwards compatibility so you can play your old or inexpensive used games. Sony gets a cut off of every disk that is produced for its platform. In addition Sony competes against Nintendo and Microsoft to attract software developers and cut their royalty-fees to get the exclusive access to certain themes. Sonys “pitch” to the software community is that they can deliver xxx number of sales vs projections of other competitors. So why cut into software sales by allowing you to play old games.

In short don’t expect to see backwards compatibility anytime soon.
