I'm not sure which version of PS3 you have, I personally have it on 60GB model.

I haven't experienced any problem with it.

That would be a great idea indeed.

I'd love to see some older FF classics on PSN as well.

I have the 60gb PS3. I haven't played FF8 on it because I don't have disc one. However, I currently playing through FF7 with my PS3. That one plays just fine. So, I would guess that FF8 would play well on the PS3 (60gb) as well.

FFVIII is fine. It just has a small glitch when you enter battle on the world map. Instead of the yellow/red/white gradient, it's just black. It enters battle normally though, so it's merely cosmetic and only lasts a second.

ff8 works, though it looks like trash on a 1080p tv using hdmi, make sure to do some tweaks turn on smoothing, turn it to normal and not full screen upscale, set your ps3 to 4:3 and 480i or p otherwise it looks insanely pixelated.

I have the 80g model and was playing PS1 games on it last night. FF6 actually, off the FF Chronicles disc. The pixels don't bother me any, I grew up on these games.

I have the launch 60Gb UK model and FFVIII doesn't work (SLES-02080), it just brings up the PS logo then nothing with all discs. It seems to depend on which product code of the game you have. I believe the Platinum edition does work up the end of disc 3, but disc 4 doesn't work so you can't actually finish it. All my other FF games work however. Still got my PS2 but it will look insanely rubbish on HDTV.

Cheers :)

I downloaded FF8 off of the PS Store and I haven't had any problems. I'm probably like 80% done with disc 2.
