Sony Explain Why The PS3 Slim Has No Backwards Compatibility

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

Somewhere between the pg123 time Sony removed backwards compatibility from the previous PS3, and we knew pg123 there’d be a new PS3, people got to hoping that the feature would be brought back in the PS3 Slim. It hasn’t. Put a h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ PS2 disc into the PS3 Slim and it won’t play. Which for some will mean nothing, but for others, will mean a great deal. If that’s you, and you’re after an explanation, SCEA’s director of marketing John Koller has one.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); “Now that we’re at a point where we’re three years into the lifecycle of the PS3,” he told us earlier today, “there are so many PS3 disc-based games that are available that we think — and noticed this from our research — that most consumers that are purchasing the PS3 cite PS3 games as a primary [reason]”. https://kotaku.com/sony-market-boosting-slim-ps3-will-phase-out-old-model-5340286 “And it’s not just like 50 or 60 percent. It’s well into the 80 or 90 percentile h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ range who are purchasing it for PS3 โค้ดเครดิตฟรีสมาชิกใหม่ล่าสุด [games]. We do know that there are โค้ดเครดิตฟรีสมาชิกใหม่ล่าสุด next gen consumers wanting to come over the the PS3. Most of those are consumers who have not utilized their PS2 for a little while and they’re ready to jump into the PlayStation 3.” Shame. A predictable shame, but a shame nonetheless.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
