I Got a PS3 Slim!

[Black_Apalachi]

I think its probably something to do with cost of the hardware being able to read ps2 disks being more than ps1. And also because they want people to still buy the last of the playstation 2s up to play their ps2 games on.

PS1 doesn't get manufactured anymore though so it wouldn't stop sales of playstation 1s if they made it compatible. As always they squeeze the most money possible from out pockets even just by remaking all their consoles.

The point about cost is correct because their break-even point on PS3s is extremely high (they were actually making a loss on each console until they sold a certain amount, I don't know whether they've reached that point yet). Your other point about PS2s still selling is a good one .

Personally I do think in the original one they over-done it and alot few even used LOL.
Slims will sell well though.

YE LOL. You can hardly find PS1 games and to find them you would have to dig deep into markets or Cash Converters!

They should of done both... some people have no sense seriously.

Yeah, hahaha...or go to the pre-owned section in Gamestation/Game/PC World/ generally any place that sells games.

You can also buy PS1 games from the Playstation Store and download it to the console itself.

Yeah I want one, but I've got the 60Gb original model which still works perfectly, so there isn't much point to getting one at the moment.
