PSN Virtual Console

Post by noiseredux »

According to Joystiq, Sony is planning on adding non-Sony retro titles to the Playstation Network. This is big news! VC was one of the few features that I felt the PS3 lacked. Smart move if Sony pulls it off.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

though on closer inspection, it seems to reference PSP and not PS3. Which seems nuts to me. If they put retro titles on PSN, they should be playable on either console. Don't F this up Sony. Drop the ball on This and BC and PS3 will go the way of the Saturn.

i honestly am happy about this. i only have a psp so i normally couldn't care much for the ps3. but i sony doesn't want to mess this up they should have this be able to work with both systems. i believe ps3 has one thing going for it right now and thats the psn. expanding on this might be the smartest move right now.
