joystiq.com — Sony's Phil Harrison confirmed that a few titles will be available at launch, including Twisted Metal and Syphon Filter. The catch is you'll have to play them on your PSP, since PS3 currently lacks PS1 emulation software.

Actually the PS1 emulation is done in software, same as the PS1 emulation in the slimline PS2.

"Is Sony _trying_ to give away the console market?"No, hundreds of morons like you are just trying to imagine the scenario so hard you start to believe it. It's NOT news, so go piss off back to oggling at the nintendo box art articles.

Yes, people do. It's now a big issue.......because it's a feature Nintendo now provides. So now it seems like a must-have to their blind followers. By the same token, this is why graphical capabilities are suddenly a totally unimportant aspect of games consoles.

"Well considering there aren't really any good games coming out for the PS3 at launch unlike the Wii"Odd, Wii has no good launch games except for Zelda.PS3 has far more GOOD games than wii

Totally agree. And, if anything, all these negative articles are actually bringing Sony to everyone's attention, and likely will increase sales more than anything.There really is no such thing as bad publicity, because only a fool would take the word of some internet morons seriously.

if you cant download them, how can you play them, it does not matter if they are physcally playable if you cannot get them on therethus, at launch noone will be playing them because they cant, thus they are unplayable

So, uh, if you *download* a PS1 ISO, why can't you just mount it and play it using the same hardware/software that lets you play a physical disc. It's the same data either way, right?Oh, I figured it out. This is a DRM thing, isn't it!
