No that's for PS2 games. All PS3s, no matter what model, can play PS1 games. Has something to do with the fact that PS1 readers work with the way PS3 games are read. The old 60 GB model PS3s had actual PS2s inside of them, hence the price. I know they work because I had an old 80 GB one that played the PS1 games, and now I have a slim model that does so as well.Dalisclock said:Only the older PS3's. I believe the 60 GB versions and earlier. So you'd need to find one of the older ones for a decent price.
Okay, so based on your reasoning above, I should be able to afford both consoles because I can afford one. How exactly does that hold up? If I have $600 in excess cash that I can spend on either console, and both consoles right now cost $400 each, then how the hell do I buy both consoles with the $600 that I have?Rozalia1 said:Its not your fault if you are poor no, however gaming is something you invest in with excess cash. If you have the excess cash to be in gaming, than you have the excess cash to afford another machine. By not getting the platform than it means you never wanted the exclusives as much as you thought to start with so you shouldn't worry about it.
Remember that exclusives usually come in the form of a series of games, you'd not just be looking at 1 game. Atelier Rorona was one game exclusive to the PS3, it got 6 additional games in the series on that platform.
Tales of Vesperia was an exclusive that I might have played when the inevitable "why don't I give that inferior to Star Ocean series a chance" phase came about, but the day never came as I just didn't want it enough.
The Last Remnant was similar but that actually came to PC so as I had one already (I'd not get a gaming PC for The Last Remnant no) so I got it.
I have a ASUS Z87-PLUS board with a Intel Core i5 processor and a Radeon 5700 graphics card. The newest thing i have is the Graphics card which i got for my birthday a year ago from my mother and i only got that because without it i had no computer. My computer overheated and the card fried and if it wasn't for her getting it for me i wouldn't have a computer. My computer is old and i can't remember the last time it went above 30fps. So yeah, I do need to decide on rent or a new fucking console.Rozalia1 said:What is the specs on your computer?D.j. Wellborn said:So because I'm forced to choose between a new console and game and rent and heat that means I don't want it enough? Do you even know what the hell you're talking about?Rozalia1 said:None. Besides if you did want to get something than you'd get it. By not getting it means you really never wanted it all that much to begin with.
If you have a decent enough computer, you can just emulate the Wii with Dolphin. I'm doing it and running Brawl at a smooth 60 FPS on my modest laptop.Mirroga said:Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Now it is Super Smash Bros WiiU & Bayonetta 2. Those are pretty much the only games that caught my attention in this generation that I don't want to or cannot play in a PC or in the PS consoles.
Most of the games I wanted to play are on PSN anyways (and usually cheaper than finding an actual PS1 copy)Rozalia1 said:PS3 can play PS1 discs.thejackyl said:Due to exclusivity? None.
My friend has a 360, and I have a PS3 and a PC. Luckily most of the exclusives (on either end) sparked no interest from me. However many PS1 and 2 games evade me, as I don't have a working PS1/2 or they aren't on the PSN. Oh, well. I'll live.
