But he basically confirmed it by talking about how the leak of it was frustrating. Did you not catch that?

Why would he call them leaks if they weren't real? He would have called them fakes, as referring to them as leaks only implies that they are not fakes.
And his frustrations come from having to downplay something they haven't officially revealed yet instead of discussing that they just announced.
Its frustrating to have to put the new announced product as an afterthought in the conversation instead of the "leaked" product that "may" or "may not" exist. Its really not that hard to read between the lines on this one.

Wii's version of a hardware revision is changing the paint job. Take that, non-competitively priced highly disappointing console.

I'm curious to see what this will really do with backwards compatibility.

PS3 Slim will be backwards compatible with most PS3 games!

I may just have to hunt down one of the old ones that has full PS2 backwards ciompatibility.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. Maybe by the time the Slim comes out (well, "if," technically), those older PS2-compatible models will be cheaper.

If anything they will become more expensive since PS2 owners would probably prefer to get rid of their PS2 system if they choose to get a PS3 but would want to keep their games.

Dang, you're probably right.

Well, what if I put my fingers in my ears and go, "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA"?

Wait, dang, I just read this using my eyes. Um...

Dang.

I don't think it will be that bad. PS3's are in pretty low demand so there are probably plenty available or will be available on the cheap.

PS2 compatibility might improve with the new PS3 slim.
I would wait if I were you. I don't like to buy used consoles. A price cut would be welcome for the holiday season.

By the time I have enough money to buy one the Slimm probably will be out.

I'm OK with buying used consoles, but only non-Nintendo ones since I buy almost all Nintendo systems at or near launch.

Also, I notice you're pretty new. Welcome to the forums!

You're forgetting the obligatory link to the "Welcome new internet friend" thread... stupid noob

Waiting for you to edit your post to include it too lazy

Now you both FAIL X2

please report to the "I'm an internet failure" thread immediately.

Were both just too lazy. You do it BnM.

I'd rather report to the firing squad in Conduit. You game?

Stratos · « **Reply #141 on:** June 29, 2009, 04:03:55 PM »

Well here it is

Sorry, Carolina, that you had to see that (not really, we tend to be like this all the time) but feel free to hop into that thread and introduce yourself so we can ask you questions about what games you like and get to know you better.

Looks like backwards compatibility is coming soon.

Stratos · « **Reply #146 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:36:36 PM »

Nice link Flames! Looks like we can all but confirm backwards compatibility in some type of PS3 come this Fall.

(Clever way to get the thread rerailed, too

)

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #147 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:38:34 PM »

Sounds like they spent a lot of money to make something they should've had 3 years ago.

EasyCure · « **Reply #148 on:** June 29, 2009, 07:40:59 PM »

So (working) backwards compatibility is something to look forward to as an add on to "next gen" consoles?? AWESOME!

Gee, just what Sony needs, more development costs to claw back from the few people buying ps3s...!

Price cut, here we come ... in 2015...!

I decided a long time ago that there's no way I'm buying a PS3 unless it's $250 or less; I'm not willing to suffer for SCE's endless dysfunction and development fuckups.

[BTW any sign that SCE has gotten better since losing Kutaragi? I've lost contact with my internal source in SCE ...]
