Title: MGS4 LE PS3 doesn't play MGS2 and MGS3
Post by: siamesedreamer on June 09, 2008, 10:56:12 PM: I know this is prolly real old news, but I just heard it in the latest 1Up Yours and I can't stop laughing.

Summation: the MGS4 LE PS3 is the 40 gb version - the 40 gb versions aren't backwards compatible - so no MGS2&3.

Who the fuck overlooked that little tidbit? Jeezus.

Year of PS3 continues... ;)

EDIT: Oh wait, there's a regular MGS4 PS3 bundle and a LE bundle. Fucking SKUs.

It is. It's the same as the Xbox 360 in that it uses software/emulation to play the games instead of hardware like the 60GB does.

Oh, I'm aware that the 80GB model uses software BC, but siamesedreamer is claiming the MGS LE 80GB unit does not have the software BC.

Ok, I got confused.

Konami LE = 40GB
General retail MGS4 PS3 bundle = 80GB

Whoops!

But still, my 60GB PS3 with BC rocks.
