I know what Sony should make - Blu-ray Forum

If this is deemed off-topic, go ahead and move it. That being said, I think there should be an up-converting PS2.

The drop in PS3 price has driven more units into homes, but in light of the lack of PS2 compatibility, I'm glad I got my 60 gig PS3. The firmware with PS1/2/DVD upscaling was my favorite one thus far.

It's one thing that removing old processors saves money, but as it is, few ppl will get to experience the fun of PlayStation classics in near hi-def. That's why an upconverting PS2 would be nice.

Or release another 'best of everything' model of PS3 next year.

Does anyone have a list of to be released games before Christmas. I want to pick a few up for the nephew.

This is why people need to find the last remaining 60GBs before they are gone forever!!!

It really is worth it....glad I picked one up when they dropped prices the first time..

As far as I know, sony just has to work on getting software emulation to work for ps2 compatibility w/o the hardware. The cell is more then capable, it's just a matter of getting the work done. I don't doubt that at some point a fw release will give the 40 gb people ps2 compatibility.

I love my 60 GB too. well actually.. it is now a 160 GB.

A slimmer, slicker and fully loaded PS3.......they should also include DVR capability in the PS3

In a few years, I bet that's what we see. The PS1 and 2 were compacted, and the PS2 got a built-in network adapter and a tougher disc drive when it happened.

But yea, for now, I'd say an upconverting PS2 would be cool.

PLAY TV will basically make a PS3 a DVR. Comes out in PAL in early 2008, only thing sucks is I don't know if and when it will make it to the states. I am crossing my fingers and watching for it to his store shelves.

Could there be firmware updates that can upscale your games on your PS3?
