You know...to play games that release after the Firmware Update, you have to update it...yes, you too dsister...

I believe that is if you wish to play online.

Don't log into PSN and you can play no problem.

Good thing I have a 60GB.

 

 

 

I this hack is the real deal I have no issues waiting for a custom firmware.

Call me cheap, call me a bastard, call me a POS but I would much rather copy my retail PS1 games to me PC and convert them to play on my PS3 rather than need to pay for them to be in digital form.

This is why I love my PSP, I was playing FFVII and FFVIII long before their PSN arrivals plus I already can play Vagrant Story, FFIX, Chrono Cross, etc...

 

you do know that the PS3 has PS1 BC right?

you can play all those games since launch and do not need custom firmware.

 

I'm glad sony is doing this if the exploit is real. missing a feature that nobody cares v.s. ruining my gaming experience because of privacy.

I know all PS3s support PS1 titles and mine is a 60GB so it also supports PS2 titles.

What I am saying here is that I like being able to play FFVII on my PSP, which is done by copying my retail disc to my PC and then converting it into a readable form for my custom firmware PSP.

I think I should normally be allowed to do this with games I already own instead of having to spend money again to be able to transfer them to my portable device. It is a feature I enjoy having, there are so many titles I own that are not available on PSN what so ever and I like having the option of putting them on my portable whenever I please since I own the disc.

Also just so you know, piracy isn't ruining YOUR gaming experience what so ever. How is someone downloading a game and playing it on PS3 (which isn't even possible for all we know) hurting your experience in any PS3 title?

Would me playing FFXIII from my HDD make your experience worse? If so please enlighten me as to how.

 

Edit -

Wow, you know what? My PS1 retail disc to digital arguement sounds a hell of a lot like the whole PSP Go arguement now doesn't it? It is the same thing as the people wishing they could take their UMDs and convert them to play on a GO instead of actually needing to spend the unecessary cash to play what they already paid for. Especially on a console that already supports those titles.
