I just want my PS2 games on my PS3, but I have the 40gb..

movements5619d ago

That would be nice Spawn, but Sony wants your money, and so, eventually you'll have to pay for them via PSN.

How's that for a deal? No?

respawnaction5619d ago

I don't understand why I got a disagree, all I did was wish I could play my ps2 games again.. geez people on here are weird.

Raoh5619d ago

the ps2 is on its way out, about to hit its official 10 year run..

at that moment i expect BC to return to the PS3..

i also predict that no one will care..

LOL no seriously.. i think we are already addicted to HD upgrades like god of war collections

i have syphon filter digitally downloaded on my ps3 but i would pay for the series on one blu ray in HD..

then again, i would play socom II on ps2

every1 complains that ps3 lost its backwards compatibility, but whose fault is that. when they had on the market you didnt buy 1 cuz u said it was too expensive. so they removed the ps2 chip and made it cheaper and still u guys arent happy

Noctis Aftermath5619d ago

I believe they will release PS2 games on the PSN when they discontinue the PS2 AND PSP2 has been released, the PS2 games will be playable on PS3 and PSP2 just like the PSOne classics.

"every1 complains that ps3 lost its backwards compatibility, but whose fault is that. when they had on the market you didnt buy 1 cuz u said it was too expensive. so they removed the ps2 chip and made it cheaper and still u guys arent happy"

Exactly. Anybody that dares complain that there is no BC in their 40 gig or other PS3 console needs to remember they had their chance. If you complain, then why didn't you buy the 60 gig? I have two PS3's, one being a 60 gig and the other a Slim. Do I play PS2 games much? Nope. BC is for when the console is first released IMHO and now that there are tons of great PS3 games, you should just be moving on to the current gen games.

@MAiKU

I'm sure PS2 games will have the same treatment as GOW Collection, but for download on the PSN

Oner5618d ago (Edited 5618d ago )

I agree with the article 100% since it is a confirmation of what they said earlier ~ http://74.125.47.132/search... (had to use a google cache of the link)

This article also reminds me of this one about BD and how it went through the same thing as DVD ~ http://news.cnet.com/8301-1...

"IGN Called it the comeback kid, well Games Thirst says it never went anywhere."

I couldn't agree more. PS3 is now in a place where only will keep on rising.

dalibor5619d ago

Damn straight. I'm going to have PS2 in my clan name tag from now on for a few months in remembrance of the PS2, the console that only did everything. I also give a shout out to the Dreamcast which was one badass system also, hence forth I will also use Sega as my clan name from time to time. Long live the older systems for you will not be forgotten by me.

Thank Sony for Revolutionizing the gaming industry & not giving up.

blitz06235619d ago

Sony - Model of consistency, satisfaction and determination

ALFAxD_CENTAURO5619d ago (Edited 5619d ago )

Not being a fanboy, but:

Revolutionary, Innovative, Variety for Casuals and Hardcore, best for Entertainment, that is what PS3 offers.
And those who are complaining about PSN (also is free) will come with PSN Premium, amazing and better Services than others can't provide.

Even they have the most anticipated games in 2010, not only 1 or 2 games.

I also check the Catalog of exclusives for 2010, and is huge, also more variety and not the same generic thing, not even the competitors can look at that.

I still prefer my PC, but for Console. PS3 is the smart choice for Gaming and Entertainment.

They will have fired close to 20,000 people all up after this round of lay-offs coming, since the ABK deal announcement in January 2022. Shocking really

January 2023:
Microsoft laid off 10,000 employees, which was a significant workforce reduction.

January 2024:
Approximately 1,900 gaming employees were laid off following the Activision Blizzard acquisition.

May 2025:
Microsoft announced a further 6,000 layoffs as part of an organizational shift.

June 2025:
Additional layoffs, including 650 in the gaming business, focused on corporate and support functions

It's not that shocking considering these numbers aren't just Xbox numbers as you're deliberately trying to make it seem for some reason.

Interestingly, another no shocking fact is that whenever Microsoft releases its quarterly earnings reports, you're quick to point out that those numbers aren't exclusive to Xbox. Yeah... go figure.

Ganif4h ago

They also fired around 2500 people across Microsoft's gaming divisions and Zenimax shortly after buying it, and before they closed down 4 studios including Arkane and Tango.

I remember Satya boasting about how compassionate he was for splitting the list 50/50 across the two companies.

Bring your sources. I´ll wait.

Let's hope its not as bad as socials are making it, good luck to those that unfortunately lose their jobs.

Could be not as bad could be horrible. But it's Ms so I'm expecting the absolute worst.

Sometimes I feel like they brought in Sarah to take the heat away from Phil.

Phil has always stuck his nose into everything Xbox related when it's something positive or at least neutral but as soon as they went the multiplatform root he's stood back and let Sarah do most of the talking in terms of PR. Now they are doing the same with layoffs.

The person who should be let go is Phil himself.

RhinoGamer881h ago

Phil and his inner circle of circle jerk bros like AG.

You have no idea what you´re talking about.

*IF* Microsoft decides to address the upcoming layoffs, Matt Booty will be the one in the spotlight since he is the president of XGS.

Phil will probably be on some bs drama later doing interviews telling people how "devastated" and "sorry" he is for those affected while wiping away his tears with money.

Sarah is the President of Xbox (hardware) so she will be better off taking care of hers business and let both Matt and Phil face the backlash.

Split/Second Is The Explosive Racing Game That Deserved a Sequel

The Outerhaven writes: Split/Second was the explosive arcade racing game that outshone Ridge Racer and Burnout. That is, until Disney shut it all down before a sequel could happen.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.

shadowhaxor21h ago

Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.

MaximusPrime_20h ago

Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.

AuraAbjure17h ago

This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha

wesnytsfs13h ago

That and Blur both deserve a sequel, they came out within days of eachother.
