Complaining about not being able to play imports is an old issue that should have been dealt with the ps2 and should be completely disregarded now that playstation 3 really wants to just focus on the next generation of games. I don't even think you could justify any reason for the ps3 to have backwards compatibility now that your comment has pointed out you didn't buy a ps3 while they still had the emotion engine in them. so please, don't even think about saying remove the dvd regions from the games because you know how to burn dvds that all computers, regardless of selected region code they have, because after so many years of having region locks on ps2 games, it's pretty obvious. they won't start doing it just for you. so you'd better just sit back and wait for the jap games to be available for purchase on PSN.

It's not sony's fault that most people saw the ps3 as expensive. So as i see it, you have no valid reason to voice out your opinion that all ps3's should have the emotion engine for backwards compatibility when you contributed to the reason why sony had to remove them in the first place.

so go get an emulator and go play it on whatever platform you have to. just don't say that sony didn't give the people what they wanted. it's the people that made them do this.]]>Jul 14th 2008 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 14th 2008 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
actually, there is a particular version that doesnt have the emotion engine that can play ps2 games. there is the 60gb and 20gb range(i think 60 had emotion engine), then the 80gb and 40gb (80 could emulate it) and then they stoppped selling the 80.

im not sure if this is 100% correct, but im pretty sure it is.]]>Jul 14th 2008 7:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 20th 2008 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
Im pretty sure its possible, but i really want to see PS2 emulation in a new fireware update. That crazy cell toting machine could easily emulate PS2 hardware for PS2 game support :)

Only other thing i want to see (which i don't expect to be shown here) is better support for linux. Give the OS the ability to access the graphics card and pump out a much smoother GUI :)

Im sure they'll show us home... again lol

Good times!]]>Jul 14th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 14th 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 14th 2008 4:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 14th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/

I've never played an RPG all the way through. It's too boring and slow. ]]>Jul 15th 2008 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
Its funny, why is it people are glossing over the fact that versus is still exclusive?]]>Jul 15th 2008 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
As it stands I have at least 3 unfinished PS2 games I need to finish playing. I bought 3 titles (last year) hoping the online servers would be online still (TM:Black and MN Auto Dub Edition) and it looks like Atari took down the Test Drive: Unlimited servers as well.

TOCA 3 but I don't play it as often as its not as nice as GT4 in terms of car control.

There's plenty of "life" left in the PS2 and I'm not shocked its still selling well, I only bought mine 3 years ago, I was still playing my original PS2 I got back on launch in Oct of '92 if I remember correctly and playing my PSX emulator because I could record gameplay and do screen caps without a capture card (even though I have one).

I don't think you can make any additional demands on Sony, they have already dropped the price of the console and it capabilities have not been fully exploited yet.

Sony has sold more consoles since its launch than the 360. I'm not a Fan Boy, I support Sony as they have been the console of choice for me since the early 90's, there's nothing on the 360 that interest me. If you're one of these First Person Shooter type players, the 360 offers you some decent games, no bashing, just not for me. Just like the Wii has too many casual and childish games on it, despite its lower price point, I have not RUN out and bought one.

I was waiting for GT5 actually. But MGS:4 has interest me, but then again, I still haven't played the other MGS games on PS2, its on my list of things to do.

Whatever version of the console is backward compatible is available when I buy my console, I'll move the PS2 to the car, since I have a screen, navi, dvd unit in it now, gives me something to do when I stand in line waiting for my chance to run down the 1/4 mile...

The first PS wasn't released until 1995 (US). Second versions of things (in this case, Ps2) typically do not come out until after the first has been released, definitely not 3 years prior.]]>Jul 15th 2008 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
Early 90's? I would hardly called late 1995, 'early 90s', also consider the PS didn't get REALLY popular til 1997 when GT and the bigger games came out.]]>Jul 15th 2008 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
PVR = PlayTV. Possibly a tuner coming for the NA market as well at some point. But then, they're also launching the movie and tv show parts of the PlayStation Store.

The PS3's core functionality is already very nearly on-par with the 360. What we need are some awesome game announcements. Nintendo didn't have any really exciting game announcements, and Microsoft only had a few really exciting game announcements (although one of those was massive). Sony need a string of massive announcements to steal this show.]]>Jul 15th 2008 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
@capago: was unaware of that, but yeah i think i brought the 80gb jap model or was it the 60gb? i don't remember, but i'm pretty sure i got the one they stopped producing. would check the ps3 box, but i gave my ps3 to my brother in law as soon as i got it. wasn't staying in the country and i wasn't going to lug it around every six months just so i could play a ps3 game wherever i went.

@Anthony Thomas: completely agree with you. but now the xbox makes me mad for making us share our long awaited next generation final fantasy (ffxi doesn't count, i don't consider it a real ff game and is the only ff game i have yet to play) although i do actually think that the xbox does have a better design, but mostly just the analog stick being where the d-pad should be. course, i'll never get used to it.]]>Jul 15th 2008 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/Jul 15th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/15/engadget-and-joystiq-live-from-sonys-e3-2008-keynote/
