New 80GB Playstation 3 to be “Emotion”-less
7 comments
Filed in Hardware, News, Playstation 3
Here’s the good news: If you’re willing to spend $600 on a console, you’ve probably already done so by now, which means you won’t miss out on much. However, if the 80GB Playstation 3 is what has put you over the edge and caused you to decide six bones is worth it, beware the "Emotion Engine." This chip is designed to be a hardware-based solution to all your backwards-compatible PS1 and PS2 desires. However, it isn’t going to be a part of the new 80-gig offering, forcing a software-based solution. Right now, it’s in the newly-discounted 60GB models, and there’s no word if they’re going to eliminate the Emotion Engine chip completely. Wait…does anyone with a PS3 even play older games other than Guitar Hero II anymore?

The only games I play are SOCOM 2,3, and CA. When the new one comes out, I’ll hop for the PS3… maybe.

I play the SOCOM series and HITMAN series… but never would I play guitar hero! IF I bought a PS3 I would certainly expect it to be backward compatible with older games, certainly there needs to be a limit to how long they are going to support backward compatibility but to the imediate past hardware is not much to expect.
Seriously can you expect someone to pay $600 for a console and buy all there games again too! not a very attractive selling point..
