Rumor: Full PS3 Backwards Compatibility Only Weeks Away?

Category: PlayStation 3 & PSN News  By: PS3 News - (gamezine.co.uk)
Tags: rumor full ps3 ps3 backwards compatibility only weeks away

207w ago - Recently it was reported that Sony patented software-based PS2 emulation technology. This got users excited who own 80GB, 40GB and 160GB PS3 consoles without backwards compatability.

Although the article speculated that the upcoming PS3 slim may utilize this technology, today a German Web site has supposedly gained comment from a Sony employee, to quote:

This brings us to the German Web site Demo News, which claims to have gained comment from a Sony employee stating that full backwards compatibility is coming to US PS3's as a firmware update in the "next few weeks."

If this rumor is true, it will make many newer PS3 console owners very happy indeed!

However, I would assume that they will probally do the same thing they are doing with the PS1 games and just start adding PS2 games to the PSN. But we will just have to wait and see what they actually do.


I dont believe a damn thing that sony says. If they told me the sky was blue during the day without clouds i would have to look outside to be sure.

Unfortunately, rumor does not necessarily equate to news
