197w ago - We've heard numerous
PS3 price drop and
PS3 backwards compatibility rumors several times over the last few months, but today SCRAWL is reporting the following (albeit unofficial) confirmation from their local Sony Rep, to quote:
"Over at my local GameStop (where I work), our Sony rep stopped in earlier today to update the PlayStation 3 kiosks and check in with us.
I decided to ask him about all the rumors going around on the PlayStation 3 slim. When I asked him about whether or not is coming he told me this:
"All I'm going to say is this: both a price drop and a firmware update with backwards compatibility are coming soon."
Directly from the mouth of a Sony rep. GamesCom is next week, folks. Don't be surprised if you hear the announcement."
Yeah, the mobo's layout matched with pictures online for SEM-001. Sucks none of the E3 solutions work for it.
I haven't heard about these alternate s...
If backwards compatibility comes back (even just for some PSN downloads, which would allow them to only release titles that have been extensively tested), then I'd hope it adds something like this..
You right !
...that is a reason for a monstrous party!
Regards.
