| 40GB PS3 without PS2 Compat? WTF? | 10/10/2007 |
|
We were pleased at first by the buzz concerning a 40GB cheaper Playstation 3 console SKU. The official announcement first occured in the UK. Here was our reaction…
40GB of HDD space = No problem. We doubt we would need any more then that. Keep your Pr0n on your PC.
Removed the SD / Memory Stick Duo / Compact Flash slots = No problem. We can by an accessory if we wanted
2 USB slots instead of 4 = No problem. Simple USB hub or add-on management.
Price point of £299 (UK), ¥39,980 (JP), Possible $399 US = Beautiful thing. Finally somewhat affordable to working class.
"No longer backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles" = What the “F” are they thinking?
The last time we checked, The latest SKU Playstation 3 uses a software solution to emulate Playstation 2 hardware. So removing the ability to play PS2 games is NOT a cost savings measure. So why would they not include it? It makes no sense to us….Particularly since Sony is net positive on the sales of PS2 titles. Granted the software emulation solution has its compatibility issues, but why include PSOne compatibility and not PS2?
Guess it is either we go the cheap route or pony up for a 20 / 60GB original model. We still have our old faithful PS2, but we still can’t shake this nagging feeling like Sony has backslapped frugal gamers.
