This allowed the PS2 and PS3 to play PS1 and Playstation games without any form of emulation being required.Įarly versions of the PS3 also had all of the necessary PS2 hardware inside it to allow it to also play PS2 games without any emulation being required.
Miss good old companys that thought about what they were doing and not how to squeeze more money out of their customers.Īll models of the PS2 and PS3 include Playstation/PS1 hardware inside the console.
Why not instead of jumping on the money train too bank town you be loyal to the customer and be different from the other competitors, In a good way, not negative like no ac adapter negative and include an ac adapter and include more games or a way to add more games to it via Ps Store or Rom downloads. I have two Ps 1 and a ps2 and a ps3 and a ps4………… I’d say I’ve been a loyal customer. But only 20 games? Really? Come on Sony!!!!! And for $100 Usd that is just a slap to the face for most of your customers including me. I’ve always loves Sony all of your products not just video game systems. How many people do you think will know what kind of ac adapter to get. But common no way to power it straight out of the box? I get it everyone must have an old charging block from and old phone or something else laying in a drawer somewhere but that it’s just stupid.
Only 20 games and no power adapter? I see trying to get in on the band wagon with everyone else and put out a mini digital version of a classic console.
