Amazon Japan is selling old PS3 models at nearly double the price of the new 40 Giga. Meanwhile used console buyback price for the old Playstation 3 models (20/60 Giga) has more than doubled in Japanese shops (from 15.000 to 40.100 Yen for the 20 Giga Model).
Actually the used price is the same price the shops charged one year ago for a new console...
Seems that Japanese gamers value the retro compatibility with PS2 titles more than Sony expected...
GL compiles a list of some of the most mind-blowing video game narrative twists in recent memory, from The Last of Us to Outer Wilds
With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
exactly. my 60gb is a collectors item now. the best model out. (unless the new 80gb (you know, the mgs4 bundle one) has almost 100% BC like the original set)
Nah, for that much more you could just go buy a ps2 with less wear and tear on your laser. Plus I'm sure the 80gb plays all the good games you would most likely want to play anyhow, plus 20gb more, not to mention more reliable hardware. Some people just like doing things because they think it's "rare" or "limited," and not because it makes any darn sense at all. It's technology people not the Mona Lisa.
i know it was due to cutting costs, but sony you need this back, alot of people are going to be bummed when they put in a ps2 disc and it doesnt work. I know that still have their old ps2, but maybe they traded that in thinking the ps3 was backward compatable like the ps2, so they really need this back, or at least have emulation on the 40 gb version.
no wonder, they got hardware BC.
Ha!! I knew i had to buy my PS3 when I heard they were taking out the Emotion Engine and putting in a backwards emulator. I still have a huge library of PS2 games (i'm playing KH again)and I want to make sure that all of them are compatable.
