[QUOTE="killab2oo5"]:3 Would be nice if it added 4xAA like 360's bc. I'll take vanilla PS2 games though...:evil: just add BC Sony!Al3x_n90

Not that i tried any original xbox games in my 360(i never owned a orginal xbox) but i do know that the 360 only has bc for some games(don't know which)

Unfortunately a lot of the better Xbox games arn't on the list while a lot of crap is, a shame.

Your sig made me lol :lol:

[QUOTE="funsohng"]quick questions to those who have b/c already. is it region-free like ps3?funsohng

Though all the PS2 games I've tried on my launch PS3 were US.. but I'm sure the ps3 drive is not region free (region free information is set on the disc and not the drive).

huh but ps3 games are region free tho

true, but that entirely depends on publishers, as they could add region encoding to any of their games, which thankfully they didn't so far.

I think the most important question would be about the average framerate, pricing and title selection.

Seems like an obvious step to sell PS2 games on PSN. I wouldn't hold my breath if you are planning to play actual PS2 discs.

According to the patent filing, it's a just-in-time translator, meaning it's able to do this on the fly from native PS2 code, making it less likely to be a device for PSN (which would better benefit from pre-translated code rather than one done on the fly).

i've said this since the beginning that once ps2 support starts dwindling they'll add bc emulation on the ps3 so that they can continue to support ps2 games once the system is no longer supported. i think its an awesome idea and i'm glad they're finally starting to get around to it, i think it goes without saying that this will help sell ps3's.

not half-assed software emulation. just half-assed software interpreter? for all we know this could just be a patent to prevent others from creating such software for the ps3.

I hope so. I'd prefer to buy the disc version of the games I never got to play like Shadow of the Colossus instead of filling my harddrive with downloaded versions.

This is awesome! I have an original 60GB PS3, but this is still great news.
