The USA 60 GB model is worth more to people who want it than the 80 GB model with 4 USB ports. Retail they go for the cost of a new PS3 slim after they have been refurbished. Trade in is much much lower
A store must make a profit after then have purchased the item and paid for both the Refurbishment and round trip s/h to a repair facility. Normally you can sell an item on Ebay and include any games or accessories you no longer want for more than the trade in value
on the discussion page an individual said GameStop would pay him $100 when he asked
yes No you can not turn a PS3 into a Backwards Compatible PS2 game player. That's why the demand for older Backwards Compatible PS3 models with the 4 USB ports has increased the resale value. If you could make a Backwards Compatible PS3 Slim 250 GB why would someone pay as much for an old PS3 with an unknown history that might have been repaired many times.
yes
All ps1 games are playable on ps3, so Metal Gear Solid 1 is backwards compatible, but only backwards compatible systems can play the second and third game on ps3.
First Generation models ie. those that were released first were fully backwards compatible and played PS2 and PS1 games as well as PS3 games. The second generation of the PS3 also which also had 4 USB ports were also Backwards compatible with many of the PS2 games. All other PS3 models lack the backwards compatible feature and are not considered to be Backwards compatible. see related link.
If you PS3 is not backwards compatible nothing you can do will change that
only if you have the ps3 version got be backwards compatible
The PS3 that were Backwards compatible are being refurbished and sold from places like Gamestop. Production on earlier PS3 models of all but the newest PS3 slim has stopped. I have seen new PS3s being sold on Ebay that are Backwards compatible and they are going for twice what the PS3 slim sells for,
Sony claims that if your PS3 is not already Backwards compatible that nothing you can do will make it able to play PS2 games.
not enough
Hate to tell you this, but every ps3 can play ps1 games including the slim. 20gb 60gb 80gb are backwards compatible with ps2 games.
No
No the game is not backwards compatible with any PS3 console
