The PS3 is almost as old as the anons on this site. How does this make oldfags feel?
>>
There are a lot more anons than you think who were born way before 2006.

I was born in '85.

I am just here to study zoomers and their behaviors. The phases they go through are astoundingly interesting to see.

I remember buying one at Best Buy to resell and posting a sign in the back of my car advertising it with my phone number.

Sold it in a day driving around town.

I'm as old as Super Mario Bros 3. I feel about the same as I did when that supposedly made olderfags feel something.

I'm 20 and I look like 14

How bad is the PS2 emulation on PS3? The first gen FAT didn't release in Europe.

Based. Fuck zoomers. Cuckchan is millennial turf.
Those faggots should stay on robolox and fortnite.
Honestly, banning phoneposting would filter a good 95% of them.

The backwards compatible ones did emulate the ps2, they simply had a ps2 built into them.

Sorry, phone posting on the shitter

it makes the ps5's lack of games even more tragic considering it genuinely has a tenth of the games the ps3 had

The very first one did, the ones that release in Europe (and the first revisions that came out in America IIRC) begin emulating via software, to safe money on hardware.

I remember playing PS2 games on the PS3 and thinking that it looked worse. I already sold my PS2 system by then so I couldn't objectively compare.
>>
>>683742661
PS3 will never be retro kiddos. Sorry.
>>
>>683745127
Only for psx titles, only the original version ran ps2 games.
>>
>>683745718
You are incorrect. Look it up, if you find something that proves you right please show me.
>>683745517
I'm not sure if it looks better or worse, but it definitely looks different in some games. It's not just your imagination
>>
>>683746401
>All models support software emulation of the original PlayStation,[9][10] but support for PlayStation 2 backward compatibility diminished with later compatible models
From wiki, there are also multiple news articles that pop up in the search "ps3 backwards compapible" that detail how to tell the original backwards com0atible PS3 from the later revisi9ns
>>
>>683746838
Yes, and I said the hardware revisions that came out in America (the EU launch models) took out some of the PS2 hardware to reduce costs, and now partially emulate the PS2, causing less accurate gameplay.
How am I incorrect?
>>
>>683747071
You are correct, I forgot that at release, some of them had crappier support and sony only completely removed it from them with a later firmware update.
>>
>>683748032
There were a lot more model revisions than just FAT and Slim.
>>
>>683742661
I was born in 93 so I'm older than an N64, and fuck you
>>
>>683748032
>sony only completely removed it from them with a later firmware update
No, that's not true.
They never updated the software with an internet update to lock the console from playing PS2 game. It was hardware revisions that changed this, not software.
>>
>Wii U and 3DS eshop were shut down
>Xbox Marketplace is shutting down in a few days

Now that the other console's game stores have shut down, Sony is 100% going to kill the PS3 and PS Vita stores next year.
>>
>>683748431
Good thing that it's trival to hack if you insist on using original hardware then.
>>
>>683748236
>>683748357
Are you sure you aren't thinking of ps2 classics, I know you aren't supposed to update some of the later backwards compatible ps3s to one of the 4.something firmwares or later because it locks out the console's ability to read ps2 discs.
>>
>>683742661
Finding out /v/ just pushed the "nogames" meme to cover up for the wii's even worse launch really colored my view on nintendo fans.
>>
>>683750103
I'm 100% sure I'm right and you are not
>>
>>683742661
Whatever, honestly. WHOA CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW LONG AGO [old thing] WAS stopped working on me a while ago.

You wanna make me feel like time is passing me by, a better strategy is to point out that [recent seeming thing] was actually [long time] ago. Or to compare the length of things.

For example, Sekiro is half a decade old. Nier: Automata is 7 years old. Or, Final Fantasy XIV has been active for as long as Final Fantasy XI was when FFXIV came out.
