their new game pass competitor you lose one game from current ps plus and now apparently you need ps plus to download update when console is asleep the premium actually has less games than psnow currently for ps4/ps5.

They won't release the list of games because they're scared of getting laughed at.

I have a bunch of old PS1 rpgs purchased on my ps3. Does that service let me play them? From what I understand I couldn’t transfer them over to ps4/5.

I’m so old and tired. Modern gaming is so confusing.

Whatever. I just hope Walmart ships my series x.

I don't think Sony has said either way but I would guess not, unfortunately.

Maybe Sony should let people put in a PS1 disc into a PS5 that works like a license check and lets you download a digital BC copy that you can play. Haha, that would be crazy. What corporation would ever allow people to do such a thing???

I don't think the PlayStation 4 or 5 disk drives are capable of reading CDs, so this wouldn't work for PS1 or several PS2 games.

Huh, I didn't realize there were any PS2 games on CDs. That's wild, especially given the PS2's reputation as being a modestly priced DVD player compared to the standalone DVD players at the time.

Yes. They're all different lasers and codecs, so the playstation 5 can't read CDs (I dont think the xbox can either, honestly).

They would have to have digital versions of PS1 games, which outside of like the dozen or so they started converting and then gave up on don't exist.

There's a ton of PS1 games available digitally (well, maybe not anymore lol), and I can play them on my PS3. I also have Xbox games from the first gen, 360, onex, and amazingly I can play like 99% of them on the most recent Xbox console, the Xbox series X. Too bad Sony doesn't care about their old catalogs.

I realize you have a fast and loose goofy posting gimmick, but there's plenty of old Xbox games you can't currently play via game pass. You can however still purchase and play them on the Xbox series X, unlike the PS5, which can play PS4 games and the Demon's Souls remaster.

It's definitely frustrating. The Xbox handles it much better but still not perfectly. When you get your Series X, look into installing RetroArch on it. It seems intimidating but it can handle playing your PS1 games (that you legally ripped yourself of course)

I mean, I know they're different wavelengths, I'm just sort of shocked there's a factory producing optical assemblies that will do DVD/BD but not CD. it seems like virtually every optical drive manufacturer makes exclusively combo drives when it comes to CD/DVD. I wonder if it's just a software thing?

the BD laser in my slim PS3 died but it'll still read DVD and CDs. sad but it's modded so doesn't really matter I guess :cheersdoge:

He’s back (been doing tons of PCSX2 poo poo and slowly returning to Duckstation) but also he got banned from the MS Developer Program somehow so he can’t really update the Xbox version.

The manual for the PS5 explicitly calls out no CDs, so it might be a codec thing but if it was youd think sony would charge you for it/make you download a free license like they do with the xboxen.

I am glad that even though there are like ten people that post in this thread, I still see tons of goon bloodstains and messages in Elden Ring. I was worried that only the PC crew would get to enjoy that aspect, but seems like there's plenty of Xbox souls goons representing.
