Comments on: How Compatible will the PS3 Be? http://www.ps3blog.net/2006/07/08/how-compatible-will-the-ps3-be/ PS3 News and Views Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:24:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Thomas http://www.ps3blog.net/2006/07/08/how-compatible-will-the-ps3-be/#comment-11393 Tue, 11 Jul 2006 01:52:20 +0000 http://www.ps3blog.net/2006/07/08/how-compatible-will-the-ps3-be/#comment-11393 I'm satisfied that most ps1, and ps2 games will be compatible with the ps3. However, my concern is how will the old periphreals work with the ps3. I'm hoping that an ps2 controller / usb adapter work w/ the system. (like the usb adapter that radio shack offers for pc(s) ) Guitar hero comes out in Nov. 06, and it'd be nice to be able to play it on the ps3 with the guitar as well.

I don't have a ps2, don't want to buy and old hardware but sure will be enjoying Katamari & FF XII on a (maybe) PS3. As for the xbox I don't agree, I play Halo 1 & 2 (no equivalent yet on the 360), I'll be playing Dreamfall soon (or you're telling me I should play game like "x-men" instead?). And I plan to try out Black (second hand) one day. Unfortunately Riddick is not supported neither is SW Republic Commando. I didn't own a xbox 1 and don't want to keep 2 system hooked up. So yes BC is really great and not for 6 month but a couple of year at least! BC talks had been down so many times…

I loved the story and writing and they had such amazing moments. Minor use of various others. The topic has been debated many times, but to chime in: Most people barely play previous gen games, and there is always the option of getting/keeping an old system. But it sure is nice to have full backwards compatibility and only have to keep one system hooked up. It's definitely not a deal breaker and is probably lower on the bigger picture items, but I'm so happy the PS3 will have it. PS1 games I’ve played on PS2:
FFVII
Abe’s Odyssey + Exodus
Minor use of various others

My friend has an Xbox and an Xbox 360 and every time we go there we ask if he has his Xbox hooked up because we want to play PGR2, which we find a lot better than PGR3. I put a picture of Frequency in this post for a reason - it's a game I'm sure my friends and I will play on my PS3, I don't have room for both consoles. Well, to be accurate, I don't want to try to make the room. Well Matt that’s your decision.

I usually leave my old system hooked up for a few months until I have more games. Nothing will run the game as good as the system it was designed for. The weird thing is I don't know why I do it. I never play the old games. My Xbox 1 has been sitting next to my 360 collecting dust. Halo 2, as great as it is, hasn't called me to play it. My PSone games sat out for about a year before I stored them permanently. BC is very important during the game drought the first 6+ months that a system is released, after that I would venture to say that 99% of gaming on the new system is new games. If not having BC saved me $50, I would love to leave it out. BC is so overated. I usually leave my old system hooked up for a few months until I have more games.

Why were'nt you tempted to get some cheap PSone games? I've played FFVII on my PS2 & that's it. I played the other classics on my PSone & didn't feel the need to re buy them again. The only game that I'll play on my PS3 will be GTA: San Andreas. Woah you missed some great games on PSone. Why were’nt you tempted to get some cheap PSone games?
