New PAL playstation 3

Question

Will the new PAL ps3 that is being released in europe, australia and new zealand in august/september have backwards compatibility. I'm have searched this myself but all the articles I've read are starting to contradict each other.

Answer 1

I dont see why it wouldn't have backwards compatability.

Answer 2

There won't be new PS3 with backwards compatibility. New "core" 80GB is the same 40GB, but with 80GB HDD.

Answer 3

I live in New Zealand.

No, it won't have backwards compatability... It will be exactly the same as 40gb Ps3 but only have an 80gb harddrive.

And I didn't know that they will release the 80gb core Ps3 in PAL countries.

I watched E3 and SONY said the new 80gb core pack will come out in September ( USA ) and I'm not sure about the PAL countries.

Sorry I'm not aware of the 80b core pack coming out to PAL countries as I own a Ps3.

But you can watch youtube and type in E3 new 80gb Ps3

I hope I helped

Answer 4

I believe the new 80 GB PS3 that has been announced is simply the Newer 40GB version but with an 80GB HDD, try finding out if it only has 2 USB slots, if it does then i'm right lol. I
