We're not talking about taking away current BC, only that going forward the slims won't have the feature, leading to more psn ps2 titles for sale. Not that they'd patch out existing BC.

Yes, all conjecture.

Right, I was talking about software PS2 emulation; if they include that in a firmware update, but it only works for downloadable PSN titles instead of discs, it would be very... annoying.

Still better then what some of us have now though.

 

[Bearillusion]

It's Monday in Australia.

 

[TurboLibre]

It'd still be shit, though.

I'd rather drink pee than eat a shit sandwich but that doesn't make either situation preferable.

Yeah. Still, there are some PS2 games I want to play again. If that's the only way I can do it outside of dropping another 100 bucks, I'll take it.

Yeah, where is that BenjaminG guy? I want my info, damnit..!

Is something being announced today or was there a NDA lift?

 

[elrechazado]

Yeah. Still, there are some PS2 games I want to play again. If that's the only way I can do it outside of dropping another 100 bucks, I'll take it.

Ultimately I think the best way to play ps2 games will be to buy a ps2. Talking 5 years from now. Best, not "only" - if you want to play dreamcast games nowadays, you buy a dreamcast and the games. Emulation on pc or otherwise aside.

I dunno, I don't have big confidence in bc keeping old school gaming alive.

I'd hit a PS3 slim. When is it finally coming!!? 11111

 

[WARP10CK]

Alot of people seem to think a reveal of a ps3 slim will happen at gamecon this week.
Personally I will be more than happy with a ps3 price cut

That's already happened at multiple retailers, so you should be happy.

[Tom Penny]

So what's gonna happen if there is no BC in the new Slims?

People at GAF will get mad because they think it really matters to a lot of gamers when it really doesn't....

 

[spwolf]

299€

oh noes, thats $425!

 

[BenjaminG]

Yeah, where is that BenjaminG guy? I want my info, damnit..!

Soon. Very soon.

 

[yurinka]

oh noes, thats $425!

According to Sony's financial monkey, 299€=299$

 

[Yazuka]

Soon. Very soon.

Goddamn! You are making me excited to hear what you are going to say.

 

[WTFing]

oh noes, thats $425!

Poor Americans!

 

[Bearillusion]

Poor Americans!

Tell me about it. I paid $1000AU. It came with 2 games and an extra controller but still...

 

[noah111]

Soon. Very soon.

You somofabitch. :lol I'm not expecting anything, don't want to jump on the over-hype train headed straight for the meltdown dissapointment town.

 

[Egmont]

Goddamn, what's minimum wage like over there?

Soon. Very soon.

My breath is bated.

 

[BenjaminG]

You somofabitch. :lol I'm not expecting anything, don't want to jump on the over-hype train headed straight for the meltdown dissapointment town.

Just trying to ascertain what can and can't be said just yet. I do like my job, some days.

Goddamn, what's minimum wage like over there?

I think minimum wage is like take home $500. Or around that. It's been a while since I earned that.

 

[Tideas]

According to Sony's financial monkey, 299€=299$

according to stupid people, 299€ actually equals $299

 

[Kagari]

Soon. Very soon.

Srsly dude :/

 

[StealthGoblin]

Is it hardware or software based? Why would Sony have NDA that ends the day BEFORE their conference. Silly Sony.

 

[Pandaman]

Soon. Very soon.

tommorow?

 

[Egmont]

Ah, that's a bit higher than in the US. Still, 1000AUD is like 830 US dollars, which really blows.

 

[BenjaminG]

Pretending to be an insider is banworthy. I would either post a time this "NDA" expires, or leave this thread.

 

[Wolves Evolve]

Try like 900. It is feasible that with the price drop calculated the way it usually is, the PS3 will be double the price in Australia it is everywhere else.

Yeah. I got banned for that a while back...

Sorry but I had to check.... This is really expensive!! Poor Americans+Australians.

You are from Australia ?

Indeed.

I'm an insider and a trusted poster on GAF. If you PM me with the information, I'll confirm it and let the mods know that you are legit.

Promise.

Srsly.
