I want know how well they can manage to pull it off because the Graphic Synthesizer's embedded RAM is faster than the PS3's RAM. That's the main reason for the 80GB's having the GS in the first place. The Embedded Ram in the GS had a 47GB a sec bandwith. The fastest RAM in the PS3 has 25.6GB a sec bandwith.

 I'm not an expert at this kind of thing, but I couldn't see how any PS2 game would require 47gb a sec bandwidth, I mean no game was ever bigger than a DVD in total. Sure the technical capabilities might have been there, but very few (if any) games would have made the most of it.

I reinstate, I am no expert on the subject.


The tricky part, is every game used it. It's memory speed, so every game pushed data across the memory at that speed. It will be interesting to see how they overcome this.



If this will be true, AWESOME!! I do hope the BC will be better. Now a slim version and Sony is going to shoot skyrocket high in Japan. Plus I'll be buying a slim version myself as well, as second PS3, especially if it has the 45nm Cell in it, so bring it on Sony

PS games don't all work too great either on the PS3, I tried to play Jersey Devil... it was totally impossible.

You're a no-good blowhard.

I give your post a 9.1.

I give that post a 9.9.


 What a terrible post. I give it my lowest rating, an 8.8.



The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.

if this turns out to be true, I am slowly edging towards buying a ps3 pretty soon...



Why the heck did you buy a Japanese PS3 if you can't even read Japanese? I'd advice you to sell it and to buy an American or European. I don't advice an Asian system to any Western if they wish to play their Western games "normal" on their PS3 console, without suff being censured or being completely different, such as a Japanese Ratchet.

Especially if you wish to play those PS2 games on the PS3, which are no JP versions, then indeed you have the wrong PS3.

Well, they better realise it before RE5 comes out, cause no way in hell I'm going to buy a PS3 that cannot play the second best library of games ever. If it won't have BC by then I'll be buying a 360+RE5+PS2 and spend the same amount of money.
