Bullsh** is the first word that comes to my mind, They got this VERY wrong!

I'll pray to the Sony gods.

this was always said, it wasnt confirmed, but i wouldnt call it bull***** at the moment



also to the reply above, there where several degrees of backwards compatibility, the uk didnt get as strong as one as the us, so yh its quite *****

Can you even read kid? What darkjonny said was play PS2 games on PS3 with a 720p TV is worst then a PS2 on a SDTV. Then he mentioned a PS2 on a SDTV has much better quality. Then switching the PS3 TV to SDTV it was better then 720p but wasn't better then PS2 with SDTV.

This rumor is so old like the PS3 40GB version itself.

I doubt that they release an emulator, and if they do it, it will only work for certain games. Something like "patching" the PS2 games you insert.

Maaan... What about the fans that bought the 60 at release..? -_-'

I think this "emulator" that they are talking about is the PS2 System Data that you can find in the Playstation Store. Besides the 80GB doesn't need an emulator, IT CAN ALREADY PLAY PS2 GAMES.

what the hell i thought someone finally made a ps2 emulator to iso in ps3 ***** change the *****ing title for ***** sake

Of Course the PS2 games look worse.... They were not made for HD resolution. They look good on an SDTV because you are playing then on an interlaced display and graphics are being displayed as they are meant to be displayed, i.e. the resolution is blurry and giving the illusion of a better picture quality because of interlacing.



On an HD display, first of all there is no interlacing. It's progressive scan so all those nooks and crannies in the games become crystal clear and since the graphics were never meant for an HD display, the bigger and more crisp they are, the worse they look.



There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way the PS3 plays PS2 games. It's the graphics of the games themselves. They were never meant to be stretched into widescreen format and played on a progressive scan TV.....because they're NOT HD!



It's simple.

How do you suppose they got a PS1 emulator on PSP even? Nothing is impossible when it comes to emulators...well almost anyway. It's not like the PS3 can't handle it or anything. Of course it wouldn't offer full BC with every single game ever made, but it'd still be there.

Accept run most flash and java apps on the internet browser! XD



Sony on several occasions: "The PS3 has a FULLY functional web browser."



Bull *****! XD

The US release of the 60 GB and 20 GB has complete backwards compatibility. The 80 gig from the MGS4 bundle and prior has software emulation meaning games get better with firmware updates. The UK 60GB is the same as the US MGS4 80 gig.

Yes, but do they work at full speed? Last I checked they didn't.

the ps3 browser IS a fully functional browser, BUT most java apps/flash apps wont recognise the ps3's java/flash player, and then "block" it.

custom select 720p on the PS3!!!



1080i is horrid'ably unsexy

pwnd

720p is weak sauce na2rul. any TV below 40 inches that is 1080i, the human eye can't detect. Go *****ing google it.

I've been using my 32 inch 1080i since '05. so my friend get's a new 1080p, and says my TV is trash. Look it up, 1080p is the best, but it really only has a better refresh rate than 1080i.



Now, scientists say, if your 1080i is over 40 inches, you are screwed, and I say, 720p doesn't suck, it's pixels are 1290 x 720, where as 1920 x 1080 is the same to the human eye under 40 inches

Not sure how i set u on fire. I dont need to f***@~#%***¬+# google since i know. Thanks for proving urself wrong tho that 1080i is worthless for smaller screens.



I didnt F@###'**+%$@#*^^ say 720p is better than 1080p u gay. I KNOW 1080p is the best. 1080p is def a bonus, i tried on my downstairs 40" TV.



i said 720p is better than 1080i for those small tvs. The refresh rate makes a big difference on both PS3 and 360 games framerate(excep t halo3). Smoothness is much more important than a bunch of dots.



GT5P replays are almost like 20fps in 1080i.



Trust me, u havent got a clue how bad INTERLACE is do you by the sound of ur tone.

Yeah, because we ALL get hard ons over bits of technology. >_

PS3 emulation of PS2 games is horrible.



>Esaar - No you are wrong. 1) To start, you can change from progessive scan to interlaced on a HDTVs. 1080i (i is for Interlaced) 1080p (p is for Progressive Scan). 2) Also, there are a number of PS2 games with built in support for HDTVs. (Gran Turismo for example) 3) The PS3 has a smoothing setting which is for addressing the technical issue you addressed. 4) Finally, the PS3 emmulation has numerous problems. See the sony wesbite and search for a game. They are addressing the problem game by game with each software update, however Sony has stated that they are going to focus on future games not trying to fix old ones. The problems in the games vary from graphic glitches in parts of the game, lagging (slowing down) of gameplay (it looks like you are playing in slowmo), and sometimes a game may even freeze up. PS3 emulation is far from perfect.

The PSX emulation on the PSP was made by Sony, the employees have access to information about the PSX that homebrew coders don't. It's like an app being closed source.

That's why it ran so well, and emu's for say, the N64 on PSP are still not perfect.



For Sony to make an emulator that ran PS2 games on all PS3's is far from impossible; in fact, it's very possible.



Not money, just time and work is all that's needed.

Example, look the N64 VC titles on the Wii. It can emulate (yes emulate, it's an emulator more or less) Ocarina Of Time perfect; however, Wii64, the homebrew emulator has extreme difficulties; it's down the fact that Nintendo has access to console information that homebrew coders would die for.



Hope that sheds a little light :)
