My birthday stash!

Teho: The new cut down PS3 still does PS1 games. They were 100% done in software. The PS2 games were mostly software emulated although did use a PS2 GPU chip inside the console.

I thought that all European PS3s didn't have the PS2 GPU though (even the older version)? I read that was only the US/Jap versions and the EU version was completely emulation of PS2 in software.

Hello all,

Sounds like you had a pretty cool birthday, mine is coming up next and though I have been offered a few surprises it mostly up to myself to make it a good experience.

I myself was also considering getting one of those new PS3s but the employee of the store where I asked about it discouraged me, bringing up the same subjects mentioned in this thread.

On the moment I still have my old PS2 and I wonder if it would be such a loss if I would get this model instead of a more expensive PS3 in time.

Well another deciding factor on the moment are the games available at the moment, to be honest I haven't seen any games yet I really must play.
I am interested in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Resident Evil 5 but I would also like to play some original new games.

It would be great if a sequel to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross was released on the PS3, that would make it a must buy for me.

I don't think there will be any further games in the Chrono series. The original creator said as much after finishing Chrono Cross. Although Hironobu Sakaguchi did remark that one of his most recent games, Blue Dragon on the Xbox 360, is an extension of Chrono Trigger, whatever that was meant to mean.

Well it is definitely not the same universe so I think he probably meant the spirit of the game.
Still it is a shame as I would have liked to see another sequel to Chrono.
There is a fan game in the works but of course that is never 'canon'.
