mianrtcv Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Arent all PS3's backwards compatible with PS1 or PS2 games?? Nope. 60's were, aside from that I think some do play ps1 games (maybe). Google is your friend. Not mine though, I'm too lazy right now.

Kinda like how Microsoft abandoned its backwards compatibility efforts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 No, one or two of the original models had both the PS3 and PS2 hardware (emotion engine I believe) which cost a ton to manufacture, but were truly backwards compatible. Then other/later models offered backwards compatability via emulation, which didn't work for all games. Now I believe the new consoles offer no backward compatability at all. If you check out Sony's PS3 site, they have a compatability chart of all of the PS3 consoles made, and which ones can play what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckrtech Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Definitely follow-up on doubledown's advice if this is something that might concern you. I had a friend bring by a copy of Rebel Assault II (PSX) that he picked up for next to nothing. It wouldn't play properly in my 60 GB PS3. Even those machines with hardware-based backwards compatibility aren't without their flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledown Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Models with Hardware PS2/PS1 support (Emotion Engine) (Released in 2006): 20GB - Model: CECHBxx 60GB - Model: CECHAxx Models with Emulation PS2/PS1 support (Released in 2007): 60GB - Model: CECHCxx 80GB - Model: CECHExx All other models feature no backwards compatability support (Released in 2007-2009): 40GB - Models: CECHGxx, CECHHxx 80GB - Model: CECHKxx 160GB - Model: CECHPxx And I swear I heard somewhere that the 20GB launch console has better backwards compatability than the 60GB launch console. Which is probably why on ebay you see old/used 20GB consoles sell for up to, or more than, what you could buy a brand new PS3 for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
