To all those complaining about Sony dropping PS2 Hardware

Cost of a PS2 - 130 dollars. 600-130 = 470. Still the most expensive out there.nyoroism

It's probably alot less then that. No case, no remote, no DVD drive, no mother board (PS3 board supplies that)... They are only using the chips and thats it. There like what? $20-$30 now a days? Maybe even less then that.

$750 or so cost to make a $600 PS3 - $30 = $720 to make a $600 PS3.

Even 1 cent times 3 million units = $30,000 saved.

The fact that Sony hasn't released any details is a lousy move no matter how you look at it.  I've posted this in other threads, but I'll post it in this one to.  Until there are firm details, it would be foolish to make such a large purchase.  Wait until the dust settles.

I didnt actually post this to show that sony is saving money. I posted this to show that Sony has been working on software emulation for quite a long time. It wont be as !@#$ty as people think.

Why do people pick on 360's software emulation? Because it has some glitches in games. Emulation is never perfect. They were much better off using the hardware.

Some games might run better, some might run slower and some not at all. Thats not counting the glitches that might show their head as well.

Hardware provided a much more uniform an stable environment for the games.

Once they make a program they can replicate over and over again, at a fraction of the cost to replicate psychical hardware.

I read that this could lead to HD PS2 games and that a simple firmware update can make more PS2 games BC... EDIT: Found the link: HD PS1/2 games I hope it's true because PES6 looks rubbish on my HDTV...-voodoo_child-

That's why all the Xbox games work 100% on the 360 now.  Simple firmware update.

Wow, a bit on the defensive arent you? I did not even mention the 360 in this topic.

Defensive? No. Explaining? Yes.

Yeah, I saw that. I was hoping that I'd at least get the chance to get hardware emulation though. The main disapointment was that Sony didn't sound as if they much cared to support and update the emulator for the PS3 and also saying that it would only play a limited selection of PS2 games. stevencompton
