Very neat thing the 60 Gig PS3 does with PS2 games! - Blu-ray Forum

blitz6speed · 12-22-2007, 04:21 AM

Ive been buying up all my old favorites from my PS2 games to go with my PS3 collection. I only have 2 titles left to complete my PS2 collection, Marvel Vs Capcom 2 and Maybe Street Fighter Anniversary Edition (so i can get Street Fighter 3, dont care about the main game). So tonight, i got Tekken Tag Tournament for PS2 and when i popped the disc into my PS3, i noticed that the disc icon was blue. I popped the disc out and put in God Of War, and it was a Gold disc icon. I checked and since Tekken Tag was one of the older PS2 games, it indeed had a blue bottom! Pretty amazing that the PS3 can tell the difference! I tried Disney Golf and same thing, blue bottom.

Also, im upscaling the PS2 games to 720p, and there is a problem, its deinterlacing frames! I can notice it all the time now, those weird lines out of nowhere in motion. Doesnt bother me too much, but there shouldnt be any interlacing when doing a Progressive upscale. I hope sony fixes this soon!

Some PS2 games will play with a slight issue i think, just check the US PS3 BC list that also lists any known problem, i think the PS2 did the same thing BTW, so to have PS3 replicate it is neat

It tell can there's a blue bottom as those games are CDs. Most PS2 games are DVD.

crikey, CDs were used for PS2 games? doesn't make sense considering ALL PS3 games come on blu-ray regadless of size, surely it was the same, but just 2 chek i'll go through my PS2 launch games

That would explain how it knows then, Tekken Tag and Disney Golf are both CD Based PS2 titles. Still cool tho =)

I am getting this tomorrow for Cris as his Christmas present. I had originally bought the 40g but I am exchanging after reading many reviews on it.
