Stop - Most PS3 Consoles Don't Play The Entire Playstation Library

One of the biggest misconceptions in the video game market is whether my brand new Playstation 3 slim console will play ps2 games. The answer is no, it is not backwards compatible. Sony stopped making backwards compatible consoles in 2007.
Why did Sony stop making backwards compatible consoles? The money, plain and simple, if Sony made every console backwards compatible they would lose money. By not making all systems backwards compatible Sony is still able to make and sell Playstation 2 games. Sony is still releasing the latest PS3 titles on the PS2. Not every great PS3 title is available, this is the reason they want you to buy a PS3 console. Many of the latest sports games are still released on ps2; Madden NFL 11 was just release for Ps2 and the PS3 consoles.
Which models are backwards compatible? The easiest way to tell is by the number of usb ports, backwards compatible consoles have four usb ports. Of course the entire lists of the consoles are the original fat PS3 Consoles. The Models of the consoles are as follows: CECHEO1 which is an 80 GB console, CECHAO1 which is a 60 GB console, and CECHB01 which is a 20 GB console. You can check your model number by looking on the bottom of the console, under the factory seal. A few other PS3 consoles are compatible with many Playstation 1 games, but many consoles don't have the necessary chips installed to play Playstation 2 games.

The 4G Standard Will Be Postponed To Make It Public

The 4G standard, which was planed to pass in October of this year, will be postponed to make it public in the spring of 2012; therefore, the way to make out the 4G standard will be more difficult. According to the early plan made by the experts in international telecommunication, the object should be defined by the scientists in October, but the radio meeting is postponed to the spring of 2012. The last approval will be in the spring of 2012.
All these mean that the October of this time should be understood as the experts choose the standard to ask for approval. According to the process of international telecommunication, the approval should be done by the radio conference. Obviously, if the experts group does not agree the sent programmes, they will be excluded from the last standard; although the expert group greens the programmes, there are still so many challenges on the period of time.
