Which PS3 console is right for me?

May be...

Okay, so Im a total PS3 beginner. I was buying an Xbox up until yesterday when I was convinced otherwise and told to check out the PS3 consoles.



Im a casual-ish gamer, I would prefer to be able to play all of my old PS2 games. What are the differences between the consoles (other than the memory space..unless thats the only difference?)



Thanks in advance :)

Get the 60 GB.



The 60 GB's almost fully backward compatible with all PlayStation 2 games. The old 80 GB was backwards compatible but due to the exclusion of the "Emotion Engine" CPU, the level of compatibility was reduced. The 80 GB and 160 GB in stores now aren't backwards compatible with PS2 games.

To be more detailed you got to get the old PS3 they are backwards and don't listen to all of these people pretty much all PS2/ PS1 games can play in the old 80 GB before it got discontuited all i got to say good luck finding one Report Abuse

The 60BG models and the original 80GB (not all 80GB, just a select few) have PS2 compatibility. All models play PS1 games.



Let's face it thou, the old PS2-compatible models are hard to come by. They are rare, and sell for a LOT more, usually over $100 more than the standard current models. If you have your PS2 still, most def just grab the current PS3 model. You said you are a casual gamers, and in my opinion, it is better to get a current model and there are more than enough PS3 games to keep a casual gamer happy, so why would you NEED to play PS2 games anymore? And if you do decide you really miss the PS2 games, you can use the $100 you saved on the PS3 to buy a PS2. The only valid reason to get a PS2-compatible model is to have one console sitting on your shelf (space), but is the time it will take to find it, the additional $$ up front, etc worth it?

The only differences is that some models of PS3 cannot play ps2 games, the 40GB can play all of them though, so that may be the one for you.

all ps3 now in stores like bestbuy, target or where ever you are able to buy it. are not backwars capabillty. the best bet for you is to check on ebay, or amazon for a used older ps3. i hope this helps

Well the 60 gb besides space



can play some old PS2 game

Most other PS3 consoles don't have the old backwards combality but some do. You should ask before you buy it depends where you buy it from.

Get the originial 80 GB used

ITs the best one they ever made

You need to get the original ps3 60 gb.
