@Deljo I was a kid when I was buying Atari games and i don’t know what made me practice it, but I always kept the box and booklet! Good thing i did. That said I wasn’t as gentle taking care of them at 12 years old as I am today obviously at 53. And having 3 brothers that were animals didn’t help 🤣 as they were always breaking stuff. But I mean, who the hell was thinking video games could be worth any money?? Certainly Not me lol. It started to hit me when the nes and master system hit when a buddy who only had an nes flipped over the master system and offered me $300 for my master system and my 50 game mint library (obviously his offer wasn’t close to what I could get today) although I considered it in my mind, my response then was “no way jose” go get your own! 🤣🤣Lol
@Unffclcntrllerpd omg that’s the worst! I don’t even make the purchase when I see that no way...at least you can get the sticker off the box verrry slowly...the instruction manual is just about impossible so again I don’t even make the purchase...that issue in my experience is a lot less common these past years. I hate the fact that Gamestop even guts the new games for display purposes- horrible!!
@Unffclcntrllerpd well thank you very much. Hey Good point yourself in that PRICE STICKERS are the enemy of all us collectors! I Have experienced that countless times in the past.
You gamers who are 100% digital are killing Gamestop and other chains both here in the US and the UK. Get in the car and go to the store?? When you’re done sell or trade it in? You Can’t trade in digital games. Zero value. Look what happened with the Wiishop...closed! Done! PS3 store probably won’t be too much longer either. I buy many digital games too yea but only if not available physically at all or dirt cheap like when I bought a digital copy of NFS Rivals for 5 bucks. And if you’re REALLY gonna consider throwing them in the trash (not sure why you even would) instead of trading them in, then most of us DO recycle today right?? Idk man Maybe I’m just too old school...lol
@Robinsad in fact BC even goes back to the Atari 7800 days. He hopefully is referring it being a new thing as possibly going all the way back to psone for example. HOPEFULLY lol
I’ve said it before but If PS5 Plays PS1-PS3 discs that will be incredible!!! I’ll even settle for psone and 2 only if they can’t figure out the beast that is PS3! Meanwhile, at least Xbox series X will go back as far as 360 and that in itself is awesome! Maybe I can disconnect some systems and make some room! ☺️
@SoulChimera still a great shooter today and stands the test of time! Played the hell outta that game! I was also addicted to Stampede, Sea Quest, Megamania and Kaboom!! 🤣😁 The Playstation 2 had an awesome Activision Collection like 50 2600 games! Would love to have it on PS4!
@JohnnyShoulder lol If you’re being serious just grab all 3 Atari flashback discs and you’re golden..yea they don’t have the Activision 2600 games on them but at least it has all the original Atari Arcade games! Then you can run them on PS5. 👍😊
I’m getting a ps5 regardless and just PS4 BC is going to be awesome enough. BUT- the mere thoughts of playing psone, 2 & 3 games on ps5 makes my palms all sweaty!! 🤣🤣
@Arnna well I have the original fat PS3 So that covers 1,2 and 3 games which enabled me to put my PS2 away. So it helps with space I mean how many game systems can you have hooked up anyway? Lol 😆
Crap! I knew was to good to be true! But as an owner of 250 Psone, 450 ps2 and 600 PS3 games it would be absolutely amazing!! Hell I’ll be thrilled for psone, 2 & 4 BC!!!
Wow Too funny! I thought maybe I was the only one annoyed with this!! Been playing the Dishonored franchise and I have to get up off the couch to get closer to read all the text...and it’s a lot of reading in these games! As a 53 year old gamer who’s slowly going blind as a bat anyway, font and text size should definitely be in the options menus!!! Cmon devs!!
THAT would just be absolutely unbelievable and I pray for this to be true!!!!!!! I’ve said knowing the PS3 is a complicated beast to emulate, I’d still be thrilled for psone, 2 & PS4 BC at the very least!! I still have all my old Playstation libraries! 😊 i probably own around 1200 retail games between Psone, 2&3!
@Eldritch that’s a fair point but even though even discs have a limited life span, compared to digital it’s a no brainer. As far as discs oxidizing over time all I can say is I myself haven’t experienced this yet and my 27 year old Sega CD discs work just fine today.
We will see what happens when Sony shuts down the PS3 store/servers one day- and they will. Only then will we see the real results. And while you can argue that the digital purchases you made are yours to keep, what if your PS3 dies? Then what? Consoles get harder and harder to replace as the years roll on and someday Sony will no longer honor service and repairs either. Yes you obviously wouldn’t be able to run your PS3 discs anymore either and that’s why backwards compatibility when done right is a beautiful thing!! In short, owning physical games is far less risky though than digital ownership imo. 😊
@GamerDad66 like Nintendo did with the Wii, when that dreadful day comes that Sony shuts down the PS3 store- that’s gonna sting big time!! I spent thousands on PS3 downloads! And we will lose them all! It’s Terrible!! At least PS4 will carry over to PS5 thank god! 😌
Great arcade racing game tons of fun and the closest you’re gonna get to Outrun Arcade Which is only available on the Switch as of now!! You retro arcade racing fans can’t go wrong here!! I’m actually now waiting for the physical release from PM Studios!!
I couldn’t be happier about this!! With Systems like PS3, Wii and Wii U and the tons of money we spent especially on digital content, i still feel as if we’ve been screwed enough! And let’s make sure we at least have 1TB?!?
Keeping in mind that BC would be difficult to achieve with PS3, I don’t see why they wouldn’t have ps5 play psone and 2 discs either! That would be awesome!!
@KidBoruto yea my problem is I’ve always jumped around from game to game...So i don’t finish too many lol. There’s just too many to try to play and you know we only have so much free time! The indie games and the old classics distract me a lot from the AAA games as well!
@KidBoruto yea I have a few hundred in the library not downloaded but I like to have as many games immediately available to me as possible! I hate memory management!! Lol - we could be playing instead of making space! 😆
I’m glad Sony is looking at this. While understanding the complexity of the PS3 for BC, I always felt that the PS4 should’ve been made to play psone and ps2 discs right out of the box. My fat 60G PS3 being able to play psone and 2 discs enabled me to unhook my ps2 and psone systems and create some much needed space! Needless to say, if we’re able to download our digital PS4 purchases on ps5, that would also be awesome! So here’s hoping ps5 when it arrives, is VERY backwards compatible as far back as it is technically possible!!
I always said the PS4 should of been able to play psone discs right out of the box...at the very least!! I would hope that ps5 will be back compatible with PS4, PS3 & psone!!!
Like the switch and Xbox, the most important omission to me aside from lacking another game or two, is the lack of a retail release! At $29.99 I would’ve had no issue at all!! Worthy of my game shelves!!
Wow that’s amazing that Dead rising 4 didn’t sell!! I absolutely had a blast with that game and DR3!! Chopping up those zombies was soooo satisfying!! Even bought the PS4 version!! What the hell?? Oh What a shame! Good luck to those folks! I guess the franchise dies too! 🤢
Wow that sucks! I would purposely avoid Gamestop to get my 20% off. It will no longer matter now! Good thing my renewal is in the early stages so I’ll take advantage while it lasts!!
