Any chances that a Playstation 3 package with backwards compatibility will ever be available in Europe?
aka: “A gamers Midsummer’s Night Dream”.
I live in Greece. I already own a PS2 Console and I have a decent PS2 titles collection. I ‘ll probably buy a spare Ps2 Console, because I understand that the duration of a console’s life is limited. Anyway it would had been great to have a PS3 bc, as an all in one package (both retro and new generation games), without hundrends of cables. Maybe I too, if I did actually had purchased the 60GB PS3, that I wouldn’t care for the Ps2 Games either. Who knows, I guess I ‘ll never know.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I would also like to say that I’m dissapointed with some people’s desigions and market policies, you all know what I mean, I don’t want to go any further…
The only ones that DON’T have BC is the 40gb, the newer version of the 80gb and the new 160gb. The 20gb {which doesn’t have a lot of features and is out of production}, the 60gb {not in production} and the older 80gb version {which still is in production despite how I said it was older} all have BC. I suggest getting the 60gb because the 20gb lacks a lot of features while the 80gb uses software emulation which is software designed to be compatible with PS2 games but the 60gb has a chip {Emotion Engine} which is a lot better because it can play ALL PS2 games while the software emulation can only play about 70%. To see what games are good on the 80gb version go here http://www.us.playstation.com/Support/CompatibleStatus. But you can still get PS3s in Europe right? So then just ask if they have a 60gb or 80gb {older} PS3 or if worst comes to worst, a 20gb.
