Play mkv files, unfortunately. The majority of anime I download now is in that format.Originally Posted by animus
BTW, can the PS3 torrent? I know it has P2P already for PS3 stuff.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Haha I doubt it. They'd probably hand you over to the authorities for pirating from your PSN data (assuming it's real). I also have never tried direct downloading before, but does that even work?
Well if you install Linux on the PS3, you probably could torrent and all that stuff.
I search that too, seems like you do not have direct access to the hardware, rather your linux distro is virtualized.
Results?
No access to cell's full power, and no access to RSX either.
So you end-up with a slow processing unit, not muc ram and no GPU.
In one word:
Useless.
I don't know wether there are hacks and mods for the PS3 firmware and the added value of such mods.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Ars Technica interviewed John Koller, Sony's director of hardware marketing. He says sternly that there won't be any more PS2 compatibility ever.

"It's not coming back, so let me put that on the table," Koller says with an air of finality. But it's all people ever talk about!..."That won't be returning," he repeats.

Wait the slims don't even have software emulation?
PS3 Slim is only backwards compatible with original Playstation (PS One) games and they took out the install other OS function.

I strongly believe that he is refering to HW ps2 emulation. SW emulation is still a possibility and wouldn't cost them anything, heck they could even charge you a one time fee for it.
I still believe SW emulation is coming, eventually.
I have the 80GB that came with Motorstorm. I've never tried to play a PS2 game and I am too lazy to hook it up and see if it does. That chart says "Software" does that mean it will play PS2 DVDs?
When it says "Yes" for Psone, does that mean it will play PSOne games?
Yes, by software, it means that particular PS3 model supports PS2 Backwards Compatibility via software emulation as opposed to the hardware emulation that the original 60gb and 20gb had. Not all PS2 games will work, though, a majority should.
All PS3s play PS One games.

NiceThanks for the info.
I hardly have any PS2 games anyway, I have like 20 RPG for PSone though, all I care about.
My PS3 is not backward compatible with PS2, and I read that it's not likely that later versions be updated to software emulation because the PS3 does not have the power to
emulate both the PS2's CPU and GPU in software. I've never tested my PS3 with my PS1 discs though, partly because I'd think it'd look awful on HD screens.

The PS3 has more theoretical performance power then an xbox360, yet the 360 can emulate a pretty large library of xbox games just fine, and we all know the xbox is far more powerful then a PS2.
So what you read seems like a highly implausible reason Psyke, furthermore a patent was discovered on emulation:
sourceit’s basically a patent for a method that would allow the PS3’s Cell chip to translate code from the PS2’s Emotion Engine. Not half-assed software emulation (which in previous PS3 models couldn’t run some games), full, total replication of the functionality of the Emotion Engine.
So yeah, I strongly believe the "no bc support" statement was just about HW bc.
I'd be delighted if they do release a firmware capable of PS2 emulation, but I'm not keeping my hopes high. It would be nice to play some of the older games, but I'm sure the new titles would keep me busy anyway

I never bought a PS2, but I'd be delighted too if they announced software emulation. Sony would earn money from me by doing that, I can tell you.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Thankfully I have the 80gb MGS4 bundle, which has software emulation. Though, the only PS2 game I've actually tried is FFX.
Anyways, does the 360 emulate well? Last time I tried, I tried playing KOTOR 1 and 2, and it ran miserably laggy.
You don't know how pissed off I am right now. I bought the MGS4 bundle too, meaning I got my PS3 around the same time you did, assuming you got it at launch.
But no, they don't sell 80GB PS3s here, only 40 FK*ing GB with no backward compatibility.

okay,

It's pretty easy and straightforward to change the harddisk, at least.

=( They did that? Did it atleast come with Dual Shock 3?
Oh yeah, and I forgot that I played Persona 4 on my PS3, and the only problem that the location boxes in the lower left hand corner were blank.
