Unbelievable.

I will honestly buy 5-10 of PAL version one if any store stocks them.

easy money.

[funkymonkey]

lmao... you've gotta be shittin me

that's stuuuupid money.

[Owgasm]

Well thats what i was thinking at first.

But then looking at the buyer. With 100+ feedback he must be legit.

Crazy aye.

[Beer Baron]

well my PAL enthusiasm is waning a bit. I've been crapping on about how good it is to be able to play my aussie PS2 games on the PS3. well I tried it tonight for the first time and it sucks my balls. I played scarface, and it was laggy as f**k. it's like running a cool FPS on your PC with a shit processor, not enough ram and a rubbish graphics card. so it seems this backwards compatibility isn't all it's cracked up to be. I have no idea why it's so poor. The game runs 10 times better on my PS2. Still I'm glad I have the PAL version now to watch DVDs and BDs (when they start encoding them all), but for the money you save (which is now a shitload given the current price of PAL PS3) an OS PS3 is really the way to go now.

This means PS2 will not be tossed in the bin unfortunately

maybe I should flog my PAL PS3 since it has original receipt, warranty and all original packaging, cash in then buy a Japan PS3 when I am there next month?

[funkymonkey]

cashing in on other's stupidity is always a good thing. consumer electronics NEVER appreciate in the short term... do it! do it!

[Owgasm]

I'll probably get a Jap PS3 once they've got something to brake the barrier of region codes etc.

Jap made, 60GB Version, Cheaper!!!

My ps2 will never be thrown out! even if i don't use it.

lol. that would make twice for me with the PS3. I bought one at japanese launch and made a grand off that one! nice.

[funkymonkey]

i run unix on my ps2... works as a great network DVD/HDD share. my old xbox is now my temp media centre until i get around to building a proper home ent. PC

[Owgasm]

Can someone tell me what the PS3's in Australia include.

Whats it come with if i can get one or what did it come with when you bought it.

Games? Controller? what?

Thanks.

I have a possible source for them now.

[Beer Baron]

check out this one! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...E:B:WNA:AU:1123

hard core. I wish I had bought a couple when they were still available.

[Owgasm]

i saw.

Hoping to cash in on the fun aswell.

I've confirmed a source.

Got them on hold. Will sell them on ebay first then go pickem up :D:D

Hmmm.... I really wanted one of these 60GB ones for the PS2 backwards compatibility (as my wife and kids go away for a month later this week!) and have been watching the stupid prices on ebay for them shaking my head. But after reading BB's post it sounds like the backwards compatibility isn't all its cracked up to be and I'm better off hanging onto my PS2 and getting a 40GB one instead (since all I want to do is play games on it).

But as a quick question - can the games available say from ebay from HK be played on the local machines still? They should right since it says region free?

[Beer Baron]

yeah, I've only tried one PS2 game on PS3 (scarface) but it was un-playable. I will try a couple more tonight and let you know, but atm definitely backwards compatibility is not all it's cracked up to be. so keeping the PS2 and buying the cheap PS3 could be a winner. and yes atm all PS3 games are region free afaik.

[Snowman]

Super - that sounds the way to go then. And I can get the Mrs to pick me up some other games from Canada whilst she is there.

[Beer Baron]

yeah games are much cheaper in some countries. even at launch last year I bought games in japan or about $45 brand new. not like the farken $110 here.

[Owgasm]

Talking to david jones dude a few days ago. Mentiond BB's problem and he said the PS3 has only a PS2 EMULATOR or some crap. Wasn't really into it since he didn't have a 60GB there for me.

But thats been resolved and i have about 4-5 coming hopefully.

No matter what a PS2 + PS3 40GB is cheaper than 60GB now.
