Question PS3 Q&A Thread

Just curious. I a PS2 that I mostly play driving games on (NASCAR, GT4).

Will they work on a PS3?

Will my Logitech Driving Force Wheel work (the description for GT5 Prologue said it was combatible).

Thanks

30/60gig model plays all PS2 games. 80 gig model plays most. 40 gig model does not play any. All play PS1 games. (double check this, but I think it's accurate)

Wheel should work fine.

I know the 80 gig is compatible with most all, but the 40 gig is not compatable at all. That said, the 20 gig and 60 gig are comaptible with many. There is a spot on Sony's website that you can put in titles and the system you have and it will tell you if the game is compatable or not. I know for a fact GT4 works on the 80 gig. If your wheel plugs in with a PS2 cable, you will have to buy an adaptor as all the PS3 controllers use a usb port plug. I think they are aboput $15.

My post was correct. 20 gig plays all. 40 gig plays no PS2 games.

My PS3 60 gig came wireless ready but do not recommend. I stayed connected to PS3 network just got kicked out of game servers. If I was going to do it I would hardwire not wireless. Havent been on since.

20 gig model does not have wireless. All other do.

First round of 60gig models had a single antenna setup and didn't work all that well in many cases.

New models have a 2 antenna setup inside and the wireless performance is better.

Nope. I was playing poker online most nights this week. Haven't had a chance to turn either console on. Might get back into AC tomorrow or Sunday.
