3.0 manual online; confirms PS3 necessary for downloadable games!

[Veskgar]

Well to be completely honest, I was hoping the Wii would be better. And while games like Zelda will no doubt be exceptionally great, I don't think you can say the Wii is "better" at this point.

But then there is Nintendos good argument that the Wii is not trying to compete with PS3 or XBOX 360 and is trying to be unique and fun. And that is a damn good argument and has held strong and true for the DS Lite.

Another sad truth for me is that I just simply could not afford the PS3 this week. And I would have had a hard time securing one with stores only getting about 25-30 of them.

I intend to get both the PS3 and the Wii before the years end so I'll be reporting back when I get hands-on playtime.

This is almost comical.
Ps1 games = $5
Way to download = $600+(if your one of the half-million)

Total cost for 1 ps1game (which you already owned) on your psp comes to, yep, that´s right.

$605+

Lol. I think $ony´s new slogan should be
"$ony, giving it to you again, and again, and again. because noone can give it to you like we do."

hahahaha-I've been playing games for years. I have over 200 NES games over 100 SNES, combined with my brother and I we have like 60 Gameboy games, have gone through 4 gameboys, we have a gamegear, n64, i had a gamecube and sold it, ps1, small ps1, and a ps2 Yeah im a fanboy and know absolutely nothing. . . . . .I've probably been playing games longer then you. I know what the public likes and what in the long run, will be a hit. People have said it a dozen times and i believe Nintendo has "They're not competing with microsoft or sony anymore." theres plain and simply 2 reasons for this case A-They cant keep up and B-because they cant keep up they aim at a younger audience. The only thing that will make the Wii good is the new Zelda you all know it to be true. I'm sure half of you Wii fans are planning on buying that game once you get a hold of yours. I myself am sure it will be a FANTASTIC game. I do not doubt that one bit. However, i am not going to buy a wii because my friend is getting one, and im getting a ps3 (which will be in my gamestop in about a week they said yay!) so if i EVER feel the need to play Zelda i'll just snag his wii and he'll borrow my ps3 The whole "i'm poor" issue is a crock (unless your under 16!) get a job, save up, and stop complaining.

I agree that this is extortion. i guess i'm not updating my firmware.

[psp411]

im too poor for the ps3... man dat wud suk if i needed it to play psx games.... pretty ghetto sony... liars as usual

The whole "i'm poor" issue is a crock (unless your under 16!) get a job, save up, and stop complaining.

i juss turned 16 like 2 weeks ago... i had a job but i dint keep it cuz i couldnt work everyday and goto skool at the same time..too many sleepless nights..
but enuf wit me.
At my job i didint make $700+ every week to buy a ps3 in one cheque adn saving isnt really an option. I have things to do with my hard earned cash what im trying to say is that there arent many people out there who can save up $600+ for a ps3 JUST to put ps1 games on their psp's( like me). i have better things to do with my money... but I dont even c the reason why I or any of us should pay more cash to use yet another promised psp upgrade. First the locationfree player( where you must buy a sony location cable box whatever thing) just to watch some streamed tv, and now this?? sony has really disappointed me... again. truly, i think ps3 is a waste of money adn to buy it juss to play ps1 games on ma psp.... forget that. even though I think its unfair(since cony promised us that this could be done via computer) ill do without this emulator for my psp.

this whole rant summed up in a couple words:

HOMEBREW ROX!!!! DOWN WITH SONY!!! HOMEBREW DEVS HAVE THE BEST INTENTIONS FOR PSP USERS... SO STICK WITH HOMEBREW FRIENDLY FIRMWARES!!!:COOL:

[smoky]

Playstation Portable = $149.99
PS1 Game = $4.99
Playstation 3 = $599.99
Knowing you just got lied to and analy $#@!d by Sony.....

Priceless...

i doubt you've been playing video games longer than me buddy. anyway, the only reason i said you're an a-hole is because not everyone wants to buy a friggin $600 piece of $#@! ps3. and you say people that dont want a ps3 arent hardcore gamers? thats ridiculous. im not saying wii or xbox 360 is better than ps3. im just saying, that having to shell out 600 dollars for a $#@!ty system is ludicrous and im not gonna bend over backwards for sony. so next time, dont be so quick to nay-say all of us for not praising "the almighty sony". we're not saying you shouldnt get a ps3, just that we dont want one.

[mr_nick666]

$ony are such greedy f**king c*nts Still no reasons to upgrade my 1.5 and I'll only want it Devhooked to play the latest games $ony can take thier PS3 and shove it up their greedy arses :thumbup: I would have considered paying to play some of my old games but not 500 odd pounds plus the price of the games!

[Makaveli777]

This is rediculous stop complaining and wait for the unofficial ps1 emulator for psp. It will be better than the official considering you dont have to pay for games you own already.

[benn]

he he he, i got my ps3 and im starting to get bored of it cause i only got one game for the system.......
i really dont care if its only ps3 for download now...

$700 well spent.
