Get FFX instead of FFXII. IT is a far better game. Could get FFXII if you wish, but X is better imo.

There possibility, that by October, all 40GB models will have full BC, you should wait till E3`08 atleast, maybe there will be some announcements. =)

+IF you have HD TV, then PS2 games on PS3 will look better on that tv. If you have SD TV, then it doesn`t matter. =)



Every 5 seconds on earth one child dies from hunger...

2009.04.30 - PS3 will OUTSELL x360 atleast by the middle of 2010. Japan+Europe > NA.


Gran Turismo 3 - 1,06 mln. in 3 weeks with around 4 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Gran Turismo 4 - 1,16 mln. with 18 mln. PS2 on the launch.

Final Fantasy X - around 2 mln. with 5 mln. PS2 on the launch.
Final Fantasy X-2 - 2.4 mln. with 12 mln. PS2 on the launch.

 

1.8 mln. PS3 today(2008.01.17) in Japan. Now(2009.04.30) 3.16 mln. PS3 were sold in Japan.
PS3 will reach 4 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 25k.

PS3 may reach 5 mln. in Japan by the end of 2009 with average weekly sales 50k.

Thats a very smart move. I was going to buy a Playstation 2 this summer, until I realized a Sega Saturn was cheaper. I will buy one though... sometime. May be once they reatil for $69.99 and are about to be discontinued lol.

I have an HD TV.  The issue is this.  I need games to play starting late next week and for a month after that.

What I might do is see if I can borrow a PS2 for this month from a friend.  If I can do that, I wont have to pay for something that could later become debunked by the avaliablity of a BC PS3. 

It could go like this:

-Now:  Borrow PS2

-Christmas Holidays:  Play uber 360 line-up and some of the best looking Wii titles.

-Early to mid-next year:  Pick up a PS3 with full BC allowing me to play games I didn't get to in the coming month, play some of the medium quality PS3 titles that have gone past, and hopefully by then play GoW3 and Heavy Rain.

 

I don't know.  I'll try to borrow a PS2.  But if I can't I'll buy one, I cant have nothing to play in my holiday other than NG2.

Kinda like me buying a modded Wii and give nothing back? ;)

 

Well, the person selling it could be upgrading to PS3.

Ahh, I thought this was a real post. I now realize it's a sly way to be a 360 fanboy troll. Good job, you had a lot of us going.

Make sure when you send off your hours to MS for your paycheck, you include this thread. It's bonus material.

In Australia, there are no PS3's with BC available. They only sell the 40GB. Even after accounting for tax differences, the 40GB costs about $US600 here.

 

My oh my, I got a 60gb here in the US for $500 + tax and I thought it was expensive. Now I see where you are coming from Starcraft because I won't even buy a 40gb for $250. BC was the single most important reason I got a PS3!
