Its false advertising because if someone rents a game or buys a used game they WILL have to pay to play it online. Which means it is not free to play the PS3 online. THATS the false advertisement. And unfortunately the online pass trend crap is growing. I seriously had no idea the PS3 was doing it too until I rented Uncharted 3 this week and went to play online. I just couldnt believe it. The selling point of the PS2 and PS3 was that you could play online for free no strings attached. They are going to start losing that selling point if they start charging to play online. Thats not going to be good for Sony Playstation marketing. All these years of "well at least we can play online for free" are disappearing. Its also the one feature I loved of the PS3 was that I could indeed play online for free.
Comparing used & rented games to stolen games is a massive fallacy.
Robinnot free on-line gaming only for those who buy brand new games.
I'm referring to anyone who says it, and the truth of that "fact" is incredibly shaky because it ignores how used and rented games had already been purchased once whereas a stolen game (obviously) was not.Are you referring to my statement? The only common "fact" is they are all means of obtaining a game without supporting the publisher or the hardware manufacturer, that's it.

JohnBM01I know I have the 160 GB slim model, but I actually wanted to see if my system could even read my PS2 games. And... all I'd get is "Unsupported Data" when trying to load them. It is pretty sad reverse compatibility was sacked. That's why I'd see certain full PS2 (and even PS1) games in the PlayStation Store. I wonder if there were memory limitations or something to where PS1 and PS2 games. You almost basically will have to sell off your PS1 and PS2 games if you don't have at least a PS2 to play.
I am still unsure of this, as you can still buy PS2s. If the PS2 as a whole was off the market I would have no trouble believing this was the case. But you can still buy the system, it did have backward compatibility at one point, and it was a year later that downloaded PS2 games became available, and not teh greatest titles at that.They do sell many PS1/2 on the store and that's probably the reason they got rid of the compatibility, they could have lost a lot of money.

Now, if we want to talk about HD upgrade collections, I think that has more merit.
Except the US (and Asia?) had hardware compatibility at launch. They even released PS2 titles in boxed sets, like the MGS collection (which now has a nifty HD collection), and there were even new games for PS2 being released that were comparable to Wii titles.I THINK that originally (can't remember which model) it was reduced to software based emulation when it was originally hardware?? If that is true then I think that could have been an effort to reduce the cost.
I had the original 60GB "PHAT" and the emulation on that wasn't great, definitely didn't show off the PS2s best capabilities. Could have been to prevent the PS"s rep from being tarnished?
I have an original fat ps3 and there is definitely no difference from ps2 back to back, it has the ps2 chip built in.
I've got a USB problem. It shows up fine on the computer for the record.
I put the usb stick in and it shows up but get this it then disappears and then re-appears over and over like a connection problem. I press triangle I only get info and not display all, sometimes it'll allow me to see the content but then boom it disappears again. I managed to back up GT and fifa but that was pure luck. Basically it disappears and re-appears and I can't see anything on it now.
Maybe a fluke when I saw content on it last.
It's almost as if the Ps3 is saying " Here you go...woops, you can't use this stick" every time the tease of a thing! Lol.

I need some advice from FPS junkies. My girlfriend got me the Move sharp shooter for Christmas but I'm torn between the software available for it. KZ3 looks very appealing but I see SOCOM 4 also has support for it, or is there another game I should consider? Many thanks.
