Title: Dudes, Should I Really Spend Half of My Paychecks Until The End of The Year?
Post by: T234 on November 12, 2007, 10:16:49 AM: On a 60GB PS3 on layaway at Kmart? I make ~160$ every two weeks.

I want one for Wipeout pretty bad, bought a PSP for the same reason.

What are the BC differences between the 60GB and the 80GB?

Post by: Eel O'Brian on November 12, 2007, 10:23:46 AM: 60 GB has full hardware BC, 80 GB is partial hardware + software BC

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 12, 2007, 11:04:21 AM: If you want REAL BC yeah, but dont expect a lot of return on your purchase till mid to late next year, if at all.

Post by: recursivelyenumerable on November 12, 2007, 11:24:27 AM: No, of course you shouldn't. You'll get the same fun for less if you wait a year or two, especially since the games won't really start coming until then anyway.

perfect BC is nice and all, mostly because console hardware takes up space, but even if they don't get the software BC perfect, in a few years there'll probably be a smaller model of PS3 such that it + small PS2 = less space than a current PS3.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 12, 2007, 11:46:58 AM: They still havent done that for dreamcast, and the psone emu is a stick in the mud as well. Emulating systems that run 2D is way easier than anything PSOne and later. Half the time youre just juggling random plugins and researching hardware compatibility with said plugins.

In short, emulation is still a bitch total.

Save your money for more important things. Video games are great but you shouldn't blow your cash on a costly expense like a new PS3.

If you need to spend it on games then I suggest picking up games for the consoles you already own. Wipeout will still be there.

Don't listen to this guy ^

Buy a PS3. You'll feel better for it.

There's still no decent Saturn emulator after all these years. :(
