As above, i want a 60gig version, as ive heard the 40 isnt backwards compatible with the PS2, is this true?

Ive been fookin' everywhere today for one, my local Currys, Comet, Argos, Toys R Us etc havent got the 60, some have the 40, but im fooked if im replacing all my PS2 games if i cant play them on the PS3!

Soo, anyone got any ideas?

 

yes.

And i think someone on here said they have stopped making the 60GB ones?? so whatever is in the shops is all they have got

 

i thought they did a 120gig one

 

Dont think so mate.....

 

60GB one has been discontinued, so if you find a shop with a 60GB one your very lucky!!

Sony are currentlyonly selling the 40GB one, so if you wanna play PS2 games you will have to wait and see if they release a backwards compatable one if the future.

 

Oh right

I thought that was the point of the elite been hd been so big to equal the ps3's?

 

Bring out an 80gb one supposedly quite soon which is the same as the 60gb but bigger HD

 

XBOX released the 120hd as they will apparently be releasing film downloads, etc on XBOX Live.

 

As it is im really torn between a 360 ELite or PS3, if i cant play my PS2 stuff then i might as well go for the 360..

Anybody know anywhere with 60 gig PS3's in stock then?

 

i got a 60gig in blockbuster on a cracking deal 2 weeks ago. think they were short on stock tho

 

Ill have a look..

Just had a look on the PS3 website and there is a list of games with a 'compatability' rating, 1 - 3. Does this just apply to the 40gig version?

Will the 60 play them all without any bother?

 

If you have PS2 games i assume you have a PS2 to play them on?? if so who gives a damn that your new PS3 wont play them? besides you will be too busy enjoying your new PS3 games

 

i would not pick a 360 over a PS3 pal

im sure you could find one, i got mine a few months back in Gamestation but dunno if they will have a 60gb left

try ebay?

 

Apparently the PS3 will have an add on to become a DVR early 2008 - called Play TV.

 

Ahh, but ive only got one nice TV... So whatever i buy next will replace the PS2 y'see...

 

Cheers Billabong, just had a quick read up on that!

Would be good for straming to PSP while your in the garden or on the bog

 

that applies to the 60gb version as i understand it as it emulates a ps2. the 40gb version cannot play ANY ps2 games afaik

Billabong nice one that is what i need to justify buying one will wait until after christmas though and see what happens with possibly the 80gb one

 

that tv thing looks awesome

 

right then, given that i cant get a fookin' 60gig PS3 anywhere, shall i 'settle' for a 40gig?

As you know, the only reason i wanted a 60 was to play my old PS2 stuff, after havindg a rethink ive decided to junk the dvd player from the bedroom an replace it with my old PS2, that way i can still watch DVD's and play the old PS stuff should i feel like it.

Sooo... to all 40gig owners/potential buyers, is there anything else i'll miss out on by having a 40 rather than 60?

 

i bought a 40 gig one two day ago,, im more than happy with it!

 

Sweet, did you get a package? how much was it mate and what did you get?

 

game station
40 gig ps3
HDMI cable,
call of duty 4
diehard 4 on blueray

350 quid,,, i dont think its the cheapest around, but as i said, i wanted it there and then

 

tesco do a good deal on a PS3, but they didnt have call of duty 4 in stock

 

Cheers for that bud, ill have a look.

Anymore for anymore?
