so why is it that sony not getting alot of games for the ps3, all i am seeing on tv are 360 and wii games being advertised, once in a while you will see a real boss ps3 advertisement

Well we all know sony had a bad start since the blue ray disc made it hard for most devopers and their release titles were limited. as with any new hardware the developers are going to take a while to get used to it so sony doesnt have the games right now.

Developers always complain that Sony is hard to work with, remember the Ps2 they were waaaa the development tools are so limited waaaa you cant get anything right but then they get the hang of it and start saying "I believe that the Ps2 is such a facinating system and that we havent seen its full potential yet."
My point is sony sucks when it comes to letting people in the loop and the have to work a little harder to get things up and running but they eventually figure it out, but we the end users have to wait that much longer for the payoff.
I'm getting a Ps3 but right now i'm looking at the other two to see which one to buy to hold me over till the price drops a little, i mean i didnt get a ps2 till it was about 2 years into it.

Sorry to break the discussion. BUT i need help from un biased gamers. I can get a playstation 3 (20gig) for $2900. on a downpayment plan. Brand new, Not No Hot item. i ave my xbox 360 and i love it but i was wondering if i should still invest in the ps3 because im sure some worth while games will be available sooner or later. what you guys think?

If you can get all systems without putting yourself into financial instability then why the hell not? But you should really check an upcoming games list to see if you come across anything you like. Might want to check the wiki on that one.

Umm ... If I was going for a PS3, I would spring for the one with the works. A little more expensive but a lot more features. That's just me, though.

I agree the 20gig is not all that lovable but that price is kinda sweet they got anymore.

It lacks more features than just the extra 40gigs of space i dont know all but i do know that it has no built in on online thingy

and no ps2 memory card slot on the 20 gig so if you want backwards compatibilty and online play you're at a loss.

Ok, a quick check on the official PS3 website revealed these features on the 60 GB version:

60 GB hard drive
CompactFlash®, SD Memory Card and Memory Stick Duo™ card slots
Wireless network connectivity (Wi-Fi)

That's it. If you want to transfer saves from PS1 and PS2 memory cards, you still need this:

Well after the release of the ps3 they announced on G4 that the ps3 60 gig has a built in ps2 memory card slot so you should look that up. as far as i can tell this product transfers the data onto the ps3 hard drive rather than using a ps2 memory card.

I saw it on Aots to be exact but if it doesnt isnt included then i guess Aots was wrong ( they usually arent )

This page has the technical specs for the system and there seems to be no mention of the memory card reader:

Now, this is the official Sony site so I would assume any changes to the hardware would be reflected here of all places.

BloodWar · « **Reply #351 on:** March 22, 2007, 12:11:55 PM »

Well given that it is " backward compatible " can u save your ps2 games on to ps3 hard drive ? given that there is a product to transfer save to ps3 hard drive you should be able to. But i dont know so im asking

There is no PS2/PS1 memory card slot on any PS3 system....

The PS3 has a software based Memory Card system where you have a virtual Memory Card for ps1 and ps2...

You need that accessory to transfer the ps2 saves to the ps3..

ok kool i not transfering saves

i sold my ps2 already so i getting my ps3 with Final Fantasy XII and God of War II so once it can save im good

The 20 gig version lacks only the different memory card readers (Like i would really be watching pictures on my ps3) and wifi......DONT have that in my house. soo the 20 gig is good for me, once it could play all the ps3 game i buy. i doh need onkline play i have xbox live and i dont need backwards compatibility....i sold my ps2...although if anybody have an original copy of raiden project backwards compatibility lookin like a real argument LOL
