Answer
the only thing i see as a problem is the screen. if you want true HD picture get a 1920x1200 display
other than that it is a killer system

What versions of the PS3 play PS2 games and not make the graphics look horrible? Where can I get one?
jitu.lakha
I want a PS3 badly-however, the new versions do not play PS2 at all and the first 60GB model did not even play all PS2 games/not very well.
Is there going to be (in the future) another PS3 console that does everything? The reason I like PlayStation is because of the games, super duper hardware and backwards compatibility.
Note that I live in the UK-is is worth getting one of the "perfect" ones imported from Japan/America? I hear Japan's is even multi-region! Are any of the "perfect" ones still available overseas and if so, where can I get one?
Answer
Only the 60GB and 20GB models that were originally sold in the U.S. and Japan had the Emotion Engine/Graphics Synthesizer chip. These models offer maximum compatibility with previous-generation games via hardware emulation. The European 60GB model is similar to the 80GB MotorStorm model that was introduced in the U.S. in 2007, in that it removed the Emotion Engine chip (PS2 CPU), but retained the Graphics Synthesizer (PS2 GPU). Thus, software in these two models emulates CPU processes via GPU hardware. That's why performance suffers, compared to the original 60GB and 20GB U.S./Japan models. As a cost-cutting measure, Sony eliminated the Emotion Engine from all subsequent models and the Graphics Synthesizer from all versions after the MotorStorm Pack, so these chips are unlikely to reappear in any future models. Here is a link to an article on this subject:
http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12909
Therefore, the 60GB U.S. model would be your best bet (besides having a smaller hard drive, the 20GB model lacks Wi-Fi and multiple flash card readers). Because it has a 100-240V automatic power supply (despite what it says on the bottom of the unit), as well as an automatic 50/60 Hz switch, all you'll need is a power adaptor to interface with 230V/50Hz U.K. wall outlets. (Though nominal voltage in the U.K. has officially been changed to 230V, 240V is within tolerances and is commonly used, as Iâm sure you are aware.)
Regarding software compatibility, you can play PS3 games from every area of the world -- no PS3 games are region-locked. Thus, PS3 games bought in the U.K. are compatible with this machine. However, PS2 and PS1 games will work only if from the same North American region as this player. A similar restriction would prove true if you bought a Japanese PS3, in that only PS2 and PS1 games from Japan will play (with the added difficulty of having an instruction manual in a foreign language). Blu-ray and DVD movies are also region-encoded, but each type of disc uses a different coding scheme.
Blu-ray movies encoded for Region A (North America, Central America, South America, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia -- but not the U.K., which is Region B) will play just fine in this console. You would have this same restriction with a Japanese PS3, as that's in Region A. Many Blu-ray Discs are produced without region coding, so they can be played on all devices. As of early 2008, about two-thirds of all Blu-ray movies released were region-free. You can tell the region on a Blu-ray Disc by the small hexagon(s) on the back of the jacket, which have a letter inside (A, B or C). If a Blu-ray Disc is region-free, it will contain all three letters in separate hexagons. Here is the scheme for coded movies:
For Blu-ray Discs, there are three regions, designated as follows:
A: East Asia (except Mainland China and Mongolia), Southeast Asia, North America, Central America, South America and their dependencies.
B: Africa, Southwest Asia, Europe (except Russia), Oceania and their dependencies.
C: Central Asia, East Asia (Mainland China and Mongolia only), South Asia, central Eurasia and their dependencies.
DVD movies, on the other hand, use a coding system based on Regions 0-9. Region 1 is the United States and its territories, Canada and Bermuda, whereas the U.K. is in Region 2. As with Blu-ray, some discs may be encoded for all regions (denoted by "Region 0" appearing on the jacket), but the disc must be NTSC, not PAL. You don't need to worry about NTSC compatibility issues with your TV as long as you are using component video or HDMI cables, as these connections ignore PAL/NTSC. Besides, most TVs sold in the U.K. these days accept both PAL and NTSC signals.
Regarding the PlayStation Network, you can create multiple accounts in the U.K., U.S. and Japan. For your U.K. account, you would most likely use your credit card billing address. To create accounts in the U.S. and/or Japan, just Google an address of a hotel in those countries. When you turn on your console, simply select which user you want to sign in as. This gives you access to new games, demos and upgrades sooner than they might otherwise be available in your home country. You can even use a U.K. MasterCard in the U.S. online store. Any games or movies downloaded that way will play just fine on this unit. That should also make the purchases cheaper for you, given the relative strength of the pound vs. the dollar.
I am an audio/video merchant based in Atlanta, Georgia, with a half-dozen units of this model still in stock that I purchased when they first came out. I bought a bunch of them because of rumors that hardware emulation for previous-generation games would be dropped in subsequent models, which soon proved to be the case. I accept all major bank cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discovery), so you will have all the consumer anti-fraud protections normally associated with such forms of payment. If you are interested in moving forward with this purchase, please feel free to e-mail me directly at home_theater_designs at y a h o o.c o m. If you include your postal code, I can provide a freight quote. I only ship via insured carriers, signature required. Cheers, mate!
