If it's not about a price drop then something major is going to happen to the PS3 firmware (PS2 compatibility by firmware upgrade, is it possible?).]]>Mar 30th 2009 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
Its not the firmware that makes PS3 play PS2 Games overall. There is something inside the 60gb version that makes the machine able to run it at the price of over heating. I mean without my fans on my 60gb my PS3 would be a oven by now!!

All the firmwares do for compatability is allow it to understand the different coding on different games.]]>Mar 30th 2009 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
So, hopefully, but doubtful. I actually set up my ps2 next to the 40gb ps3 in my living room the other day.

@engadget: Wha? I've been waiting for a good price drop since 11/17/06.

I think they're finally moving to 45nm with a smaller form factor, it'll save them a bundle on shipping and fab costs.

But please, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me support for something besides this FAT32 bullshit. Oh, and I'd love it if you could support .mkv, but that'll never happen. ]]>Mar 30th 2009 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
You're wrong about PS2 emulation on the PS3. The newest models DO NOT emulate PS2 games in any manner whatsoever. They do emulate PS1 games, like all PS3s though. Only the 2007 80GB model emulates PS2 games, and not very well either.

In theory Sony could indeed reintroduce PS2 emulation but considering that they gave the consumers a big fisting about how it didn't matter anymore (despite the fact they're still selling PS2 consoles...), it's highly unlikely.]]>Mar 30th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
It's called the Emotion Engine that allows full PS2 BC, I have a Launch Day 60gig as well. No overheating but POWER SURGES will Fuck it up. Just got a brand spankin new 60Gig from Sony. NOT A REFURBISH. You see in our beloved 60Gigs we have a full PStwo Motherboard. That is why there is a different power supply and the dang thing gives off more heat than most space heaters. It's also the reason ours use as much electricity as 3 Refrigerators and why all the latest models don't. I'm hoping for something alot different.

60GB models had pretty much the entire PS2 in there, 80GB had the GPU off the PS2, and emulated the EmotionEngine(CPU)

40GB n onwards had neither the CPU or GPU, though if Sony got off there arse I'm sure a full emulation is possible on the Cell, cos my PC which has no part's form a PS2 can run PS2 games fine without an 8-core 3.2ghz chip.

It's more than likely the PS2 price drop. but one can hope for a PS3 price drop.]]>Mar 30th 2009 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
It's not that NTFS is suited in any capacity for external drives... Permission/etc... are not easy workaround. And AFAIK M$ doesn't license NTFS on-disk format. Linux has REd driver, but I doubt Sony can use it without angering M$.

I personally would take Linux' good ol' ext2 as second (after FAT) most portable option for external drives. ext2 can be read on virtually any OS and you do not need a nod from Redmond to use it.]]>Mar 30th 2009 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
It'll probably be a couple of things....but we are in desperate need of new firmware.

Weren't Square Enix rumoured to be announcing Kingdom Hearts 3...perhaps that'll be the "secret" PS3 exclusive...though surely Sony would save that for E3.

Oh well, we'll find out tomorrow.]]>Mar 30th 2009 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/
Sounds like the perfect chance for a PSP2 announcement....]]>Mar 30th 2009 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/]]>Mar 30th 2009 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vain

I seriously doubt that it's a price drop or support for HD. I mean why would they go supporting dead hardware and ruin their bluray sales. What's left of HD dvd is dirt cheap movies, but I doubt that it's going to make anyone buy a ps3. My guess is a firmware that enables more function, which is always nice. Improvements on existing stuff. ]]>Mar 30th 2009 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Mar 30th 2009 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/30/global-sony-announcement-rumored-for-tomorrow-unicorns-practica/Sony has yet to pull off a big name title for the PS3(maybe MGS).
