Many people are looking for PS3 60 GB and 20 GB versions because they actually have HARDWARE (The Emotion Engine) backwards compatibility. This means that the Emotion Engine will process the backward compatibility with PS1 and PS2 games. PS3 systems offer upscaling and smoothing (under Game Settings) for PS and PS2 (if supported) games to make them look “better” on LCD and HD displays. The PS2 console graphics where designed to “look good” by taking advantage of the natural smoothing/blurring on CRT TVs which were predominant at the PS2 launch. The 80 GB versions are backwards compatible via software emulation which is not as efficient, nor as compatible, as the hardware version. The 60 GB is more expensive than the 20 GB because they also have 802.11, memory card readers, and other items that the 20 GB doesn’t have. The 60 and 20 GB models are no longer manufactured, and systems are selling at and more than $599 which was original retail pricing.
PS3 motherboards contain the array of components necessary for the system to function. Update damage and motherboard failures in all cases require replacement parts. The motherboards are electronically secured to the Blu Ray drive in the system, Playstation 3 repairs This makes the replacement much more parts and labor intensive with demand on the rise.
Just be certain to keep your system clean and dust free (refer to post videogamerepair.info/dust-in-the-wind.) From there, don’t leave it running unless your using it, save every 1-2 hours, shut down and cool the system for 15 minutes while you stretch or get something to eat. NEVER MOVE THE SYSTEM WHEN IT IS WARM. Do your best to keep the system clean and running well, follow the instructions, and when in doubt – www.VideoGame911.com will do whatever they can to get you back in the game.
