that is not right ;_;

well, you can also buy the Bushido Blade disc for around $6 on amazon.com

I thought the newer PS3s didn't play PS1 games
― STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 16:20 (fourteen years ago) link
All ps3s can play ps1 discs too (just not ps2)

waht, I have had bushido blade sitting around and never even tried.
― mh, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 16:33 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, PS1 games actually look OK too on the PS3 as long as you turn smoothing on
I've been playing through MGS1 recently and it's held up surprisingly well

I had no idea ps1 games worked on ps3.

my olde PS3 did die :( in 3.5 years i made use of the PS2 BC with only 2 games, which is the same amount of PS1 games i have played in the same time. there have been enough good new titles that i simply haven't had the time, so i am not as sad about losing the BC as i thought i would be. i am more excited about that fact that the new model is so much smaller and so quiet that i didn't even realize the old one was noisy.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 17:35 (fourteen years ago) link
you can probably ebay your old busted ps3 for decent $$$; people still be covetin' that BC

^^^you get this on the US PSN store so why not on the EU?!
― corporal buzztitle (cozen), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 19:18 (fourteen years ago) link
It's amazing how poorly designed and organized the PSN store is.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 19:26 (fourteen years ago) link
they should rework and unify the design across all regions; it's a bit silly that the EU, US, japanese, and hong kong stores are all different
― corporal buzztitle (cozen), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 19:33 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah the psn store is a complete joke, real shame they didn't put more thought into this area. i know it's a free service compared to 360 but come on.
i think i only actually have one ps1 game that i'd consider bother loading up, Abe odyssey and i know even that will still crash in the same place every time. oh maybe res evil 3 as well.
― bracken free ditch (Ste), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
hmm... I've always felt the US psn store was fine & can't remember ever having a problem with it. Everything is broken into categories and alphabetized, with new stuff put into the new section - I don't know what more they could do. It's basically the same as the 360 online store.

that one beehive? there's a bug in the game that makes it crash there sometimes.

I also had no idea PS1 games were playable. Now tempted to get a PS3 just so I can play bishi bashi special, which would be RIDICULOUS.
― JimD, Thursday, 1 April 2010 08:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Ok, got one. Bearing in mind I've had a 360 for ages (so have already played anything non-exclusive and worthwhile), I need a shopping list. Here's what I've picked up so far (or am borrowing this week):
Wipeout HDNoby Noby BoyFlowerGod of War 3Uncharted 2Demon Souls
Anything else that should be on here?
― JimD, Monday, 26 April 2010 09:33 (fourteen years ago) link
might be worth reading up on:valkyria chroniclesyakuza 3resonance of fategod of war collection (out on friday)3D dot game heroes (out beginning may)
― cozen, Monday, 26 April 2010 09:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, GOW collection might be a good call. Those others are b-list at best for me.
Also, PS1 games I need to find the discs for (they're probably hidden away in ledge's flat somewhere):
VibribbonBishi Bashi SpecialIncredible Crisis
...er, that's probably it really.
― JimD, Monday, 26 April 2010 11:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Yakuza 3 is £17.99 in Zavvi's Mega Monday sale. I'm p tempted but I've got loads of games I haven't completed

― broad layering (onimo), Monday, 26 April 2010 11:26 (fourteen years ago) link
3D dot heroes £24 pre-order off that list.
I'm buying it basically as a thank you to From software for Demon's souls.
and it will bring the retro lolz...
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Monday, 26 April 2010 13:21 (fourteen years ago) link
don't forget the APRIL2 code for another £2 off!
― cozen, Monday, 26 April 2010 13:26 (fourteen years ago) link
£22.95 = a steal for a new game that's been getting good reviews.
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Monday, 26 April 2010 15:29 (fourteen years ago) link
JimD - that's a big list that will keep you bust for a while, but if you're looking for more I wouldn't ignore Little Big Planet (GOTY Edition), which is only around £15 these days. Everybody's Golf is a fun, cartoony golf game - very solid. PixelJunk Eden & Monsters also usually get recommended. Superstardust is a pretty awesome twin stick shooter.
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 26 April 2010 15:43 (fourteen years ago) link
Oh totally forgot LBP, yep, will grab.
Superstardust <> Everyday shooter?

Hi Dere only the two PS2 katamari games were any good, the rest were lazy followups made after the guy who had designed the original games had quit. and now i've got 'lonely rolling star' in my head.

the first stage in the katamari forever demo is horrible. the one in the xbox 360 demo was ok.
― abanana, Monday, 26 April 2010 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link
I rate them somewhat equally, though SuperStardust probably gives one more bang for their buck, as it's visually a ps3 showpiece, features more modes and variety (though you have to pay extra for some of the extra modes) and has longer gameplay (sometimes almost too long though). That said, I rate both a star less than Geometry Wars and its sequels.
― Jeff LeVine, Monday, 26 April 2010 22:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I still feel like I've got unfinished business with GWRE2, so maybe it's best not to dilute that impulse.

some people say not to use the brushes and some people say to.. I know you will get stung for a blu ray specific cleaner.... Is it reading the discs or just stuttering?
― my opinionation (Hamildan), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 09:12 (fourteen years ago) link
it shows the disc on the, er, xmb, but says (after some whirring) 'unable to play disc' or somesuch, when you try to play it.

have you got a big telly? you won't tell the difference anyway otherwise so maybe not worth the bother

i've got 32 inches and it's big enough for me thank you very much.

Are you still under warranty? Because if you crack open the case and the problem is more serious than a little dust, your warranty will be voided. Maybe better just to contact Sony or wherever you picked up the ps3 if it's still covered. If you're out of warranty you could try cracking that thing open and using a precision / valve duster (a can of which you can buy for around the price of a sandwich).
