I can't play GTA on my PS3??

Question

I bought an 80GB PlayStation 3 just last week. When I pop in my Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas it says "unsupported data" at the menu screen.

According to the website, it should be able to play GTA SA, so what do I need to do? Is this a problem for systems sold in the US?

Answer 1

Answer 2

How much did your PS3 costs?  Was it 400 or 500 bucks?  My guess is that you got the one that's 400 bucks.  Am I right?  If I'm right, then you get the new 80 gb, which isn't backward compatible.  Sony released the new 80 gb a few weeks ago, and the new 80 gb is just a 40 gb but with a bigger hard drive, so it doesn't have backward compatibility.

The only 80 gb that's backward compatible are the ones that include either Motorstorm or Metal Gear Solid 4.

Answer 3

Looks like you bought new 80GB, which doesn't support PS2 games. It's east to tell the difference - it doesn't have chrome trim and has only 2 USBs.
