Thanks for the link. This must be something new or I just don't own any of the games that don't work. Off the top of my head, I know PS2 wise, I tried the Smackdown Vs Raw games, all the Tomb Raiders, Crash Bandicoots, Madden 06, Kingdom Hearts I and II, FF 7, and a few others. I will have to try my entire collection and see if I run across one that doesn't work. I guess I got lucky in that I bought my 80gb PS3 in '07.:hippy:

they changed it when they went to 80GB versions only (not including the speical bundles). it was towards the end of last year i believe.


the reason you pay for xbox live is that it is maintained exclusively by microsoft. they make sure it is up and running, that it works etc etc. whereas with the playstation network the servers are maintained by the game developers/publishers. there is nothing saying that they can't pull the plug on those servers at anytime.

That's absolute rubbish, the servers work fine and are free, you're wasting your money imo.

I love my Playstation 3, and i love my baseball team. I'm a PS3 junkie, and thats for sure. I personally think that the system matches a distinct type of person, and that's just telling the truth. I love Hi-def graphics and movies, superior sound capability, free internet access, a processor smarter than all my friends, and an ever expanding library of playable titles that will see developers benefitting from the 4th, 5th, and 6th generation of development tools that they have access to for the XBOX360. Free internet comes with a price, and I see why many could side with the XBOX360. Many of the titles benefit from the superb matchmaking software incorporated with their pay-for-play arrangement. Hardcore players dig the XBOX360 and that's where you see Madden and COD4 tourneys and championships take place. However, if your system hits the market a full year earlier I would expect that sales would be in your favor. However the margin is only about 6 million, (PS3-22 million/XBOX360-28 million [Game Informer, May 2009]), and with a bevy of titles beginning to push the boundaries of the cell processor I see a change on the horizon. Say what you want, but at the end of the day me and my Playstation controller are going to run the maps of Call of Duty like its a playground from our younger years. Thefatkid has got plenty of moves surprisingly, and I definitely know I'm gonna need e'm with the skill I see on the PS3.
