With Little Big Planet delayed till September, they better launch MGS4 in Q1 this year.

They need to push the machines. @acougan the b/c is a good friend but how many of us actually owns original PS2 games that is the same region?

I wanted FFXII that was cheap on PA, mana tahu Jap..so cant buy also

zio, GOW 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MGS4 will only come out Q2 this year Mr. Zio

i believe ps2 BC for the 40GB is still part of their roadmap. after all, psp can generate ps2-like graphics without a GS chip, surely 40GB can too if the emulation team gets the budget to work on it.

discounted ffxii international for USD20 was really worth it. playing a ff game in JPN is quite painless with gamefaqs help

i just checked the game releases for 1st quarter 2008 US release...there r actually VERY VERY limited games that i will buy..... which means all my salary again will go to end of the year releases........

phew.. can rest liao... no money liao

When Tekken 6 come out for PS3?
I heard was Feb 2008 last year but it seem like they delay it already.

Eh! can the PS3 40GB play those downloaded content such as DINOCRISIS for Playstation??

those ps1 games offered on Asian Store can be played on all ps3 (40GB included) and psp (official firmware, i think)

but most of those games are in JPN language - including dino crisis and biohazard:DC. but price very reasonable - about RM16/ea.

wanted to get King Of Fighters...missed that classic..

But I was thinking since there is no software emulation for PS3 40GB, how can it run PS1 games right? Please enlighten me

the 40GB can run ps1 games just like the psp can - using software emulation.

the only think the 40GB is lacking is the ps2's GS chip. 20/60/80GB sets have GS chip. without GS chip, ps2 emulation still not ready yet. if sony surveys the customer and they don't care about ps2 BC, they'll just axe the ps2 emulation project.

for example, the xbox1 emulation team is still operational because the higher-ups haven't terminate their project yet.

lol i'll just dig up my old ps1 dino crisis and play on my ps2..

acougan, I thought the 80 GB also have the GS chip removed, and using a software emulation for PS2 games. What I know, only the 20/60 GB versions uses the GS chip.

The way I see it, 40GB versions are purposely made to push the Blu-ray format by making it cheap, hence the removing of certain features. The hardcore gamers will have to settle for the other more expensive versions. IMO anyway.

NTSC 60GB & 20GB units have EE + GS chips = 100% backwards compatibility
NTSC 80GB & PAL 60GB units have GS chips only = partial backwards compatibility (software is used to emulate EE chip).
ALL 40GB units do not have neither EE nor GS chip = no backwards compatibility

Did you guys check out the LBP demo vid? Lol it's fun and hillarious

Ha, thanks Vorchiel.

I was confused between the EE & GS chips.

The 80 GB uses software emulation, at least I was right about that..

Added on January 11, 2008, 7:59 amTo say it simply, all PS3 versions support PS1 games. All versions also support PS2 games, except the 40GB version. Err, that's correct isn't it?

By the way, what's the LBP demo vid? Is it in the PSN store?
