      Reeves erklärte die neue Abwärtskompatibilität zu PS2-Singstar-Titeln genauer. Sie werde mittels einer Software-Emulation realisiert, die in einem kommenden Firmware-Update enthalten sei. Mit diesem ließen sich alle PS2-Singstar-Folgen direkt auf der PS3 abspielen. Man benötige kein PS3-Singstar. “Wir beobachten, bei welchen Titeln sich dies noch lohnen wird, und werden in Zukunft möglicherweise weitere PS2-Spiele auf der PS3 per Emulation zum Laufen bringen.” Dies sei jedoch ein technisch sehr aufwendiger Prozess, weil die nötigen PS2-Chips den aktuellen PS3-Modellen fehlen.

      Reeves explained the new downward compatibility more exactly as PS2-Singstar-Titeln. It is implemented by means of a software emulation, which is contained in a coming firmware update. With this all PS2-Singstar-Folgen could be played directly on the PS3. One does not need PS3-Singstar. “We observe, with which titles this will still be worthwhile itself, and further PS2-Spiele on the PS3 by emulation to running will in the future possibly bring.” This is however a technically very complex process, because the necessary PS2-Chips the current PS3-Modellen is missing.

      I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]
