The 40GB PS3 doesn't have the EE chip right? So does that mean it can't run PS1/PS2 games period? Or are those games emulated via software? If that's the case, wouldn't Sony be alienating some PS3 owners with the PS1 downloads in their online store?

The answers to all ofyourquestions arehere. Please support my thread.

Please post here http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26050601

if the thread stays alive for a while then a mod will sticky it.

Please help me out, it's a really good thread

If the mod sees that I post in it a lot, he won't sticky it because I've been bumping it a lot

So sorry, I can't post there until it gets stickied, but someone else probably will

Thanks in advance for your help

40 gb doesn't have EE nor software that emulates it, so no ps2 games. It can play Ps1 games though...

You need to fix up your thread. You have too many "I don't knows" and "I am not sures" for it to be considered complete. :wink:

actually the answer wasnt in your thread dude.... and that's getting annoying. Anyway im not sure... i feel like it would still work if they're just selfcontained software. i guess i was more under the impression that the lack of BC would make it impossible to read / decode the discs not that the PS3 was incapable of running the software.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the others for replying too. It's nice to know that the software is self-contained. Sucks that there's no PS2 compatibility, but I guess that's what my PS2 is for. :P

If I can find a good deal on a PS3 this friday, I'll probably head out and buy one.

I just edited it right now with the EE chip/software emulator info.

Can you help me fix it up.

for one, the 80 gb DOES have all the memory card slots that the 60 gb does, so you can take out that statement about "if you like memory slots, then you're only option is the 60 gb"

Also, the 40 gb indeed does have only 2 usb ports and does not have the memory slots, so you can take out that "not sure" statements.

:wink:
