Xperia Play: PSOne Classics sales slow, Sony promises 'big announcements' at E3

May 13th 2011 9:38AM (Joystiq)
The main problem is that right next to the PS1 downloads on the store is an official emulator for the PS1 called FPSE which has amazing support, and allows people to use...ahem...backed up copies of games they "already own" which negates the need to purchase anything at all when you just downloa.....I mean officially backup all those PS1 games you still own.

Even if Sony were to open up the entire back catalogue for download they won't sell when there is that cheaper alternative. And the Xperia doesn't even need "jailbreaking" (called rooting on Android devices apparently) in order for it to function. None of the emulators do.

As an Xperia owner I have to say I'm impressed with the versatility of the device. It plays every game with ease and the Android games are near PSP in quality,. Especially titles like Modern Combat, Nova and Nova 2 HD. Proper PSN support would make me feel a lot better about my purchase but I'm hoping PlayStation Suite will bring something different to the table. Seeing as that will be integrated into NGP then my purchase may have some longevity.

All I can say is that based on my time with the XP I've no desire to upgrade any time soon. Something I can't say when I previously owned an iPhone and a...shudder...Blackberry.

@kalmis As opposed to the sleek, smooth and barely visible controls that were available on teh PS1 back in the day, right ;-)

Sony claims George 'Geohot' Hotz is avoiding trial in South America

@FamousLastX

In a lame attempt to direct traffic to their pathetic website, some sources are now reporting that Geohot is on vacation in a South American country.

See what I did there??

@macnbc Rather than manually telling your console to do it?...Riiiiight, so you want them to develop a switch to manually kill colour because you don't want to flick a switch on your set that does pre-tty much the same thing.

O....K....

There's a download on Demonoid if anyone wants to watch it on their TV's rather than monitors.

@theDoctorJones Why not? We sat through the game. I don't see how sitting through a measly 88 minutes of an ACTUAL decent plot line could be any worse. It's not like you're being charged for it....

Is this a regional thing? Only I'm in the UK and I already have this and Rockstar's release is worded it SOUNDS like they're releasing this for the first time.

@HardBoiled2009 I wondered whether I had made a mistake. Your comment refilled my confidence in my awful sense of humour. lol.
