PS3 questions

Re: PS3 questions

Tom,
It came out, then lots of people reported their PS3s no longer working, no video on the screen or their hard drives died so Sony is checking into it and doing repairs at no charge for customers that have to send in their units. Talk about a snafu. Mine works so far...

Hard drives dying because of a Firmware upgrade? Good I never saw it then. So is the ingame XMB a part of it?

Re: PS3 questions

I read the posts and I question whether these drives did die but the people are saying that they connect the drive to their PC and can't get any readings off of them. Yes, there are trophies and in-game XMB. Some cool features but I haven't been on the box much. Plus, it's a holiday weekend so I won't be home much at all.

Re: PS3 questions

does anyone know if the 80 gb ones are released ? circuit city still doesn't have them. (I can't stop abusing that 0% deal structure they have going for virtually everything in store)

Re: PS3 questions

^^ Mugroso... good luck finding that bundle in the stores in the LA area as most shops, if not all, have sold out of them. I did see one listed for the Wal*Mart in Norwalk last week but you can still find some online. I did find the Gun Metal Silver Japanese version for $650 online but again, this is a 40GB model.
They're replacing the 40GB model with an 80GB HDD for $399 to come out later this year. I think I saw that someone posted it up above.

Re: PS3 questions

the new 80gb doesn't play PS2 games you have to be aware of that

and FFXIII just got announced for 360... so epic lulz, it will only be a matter of time before MGS4 gets a remix in a subsistance game and then ported to 360.

Re: PS3 questions

The new 80GB PS3 DOES play PS2 games but the future 80GB release will most likely not have BC in it.

I did see about FFXIII but oh well. The first ones were the best. They've already stated that the Xbox360 has hardware limitations that would not be able to support MGS4 so they would have to downtune it quite a bit in order for it to come out on that system. I think it's going the way of "exclusive but eventually on others" as this is happening with several titles for both respective consoles.

that is not entirely correct, there is no "new 80gb model" it was released months ago however the NEW future 80gb will be the one with the price cut and will not be BC compatible with ps2

not really.

June 12 is hardly months ago and it is still a new model. Try again. They haven't confirmed that the new PS3 (as of Wednesday) is not BC compatible but when they state will have the same functionality of the 40GB model, we can all assume what that means. Try reading again.
Thanks.

yeah they have its all over the internet the new 80gb model isn't BC compatible with ps2. its gonna be basically a 40gb version with bigger hardrive at a 399 price if i'm not mistaken

Re: PS3 questions

I'm not doubting that. I'm still trying to figure out how June 12 was months ago and would not be considered new.

Re: PS3 questions

there are rumors of a 160gb version coming out soon also.

Re: PS3 questions

There's been confirmation from the head over at SCEA. I was emailed the article and the explanation of why they are going bigger. As if everyone didn't know why. Hahahaha.
