I doubt I'd bother buying my DC games again for the ps3. but if the ps3 got a software patch to run DC game discs I'd definitely try it out. I do like the PS controller the best.
Not possible due to hardware limitations. IE BD-ROM ≠ GD-ROM

Even if it was technically possible, I just don't see how it could happen anyway.

Honestly, if they just re-released DC games that would take advantage of the PS3's abilities, I'd be all over it. Imagine Alien Front Online on PSN, or being able to use images off the PS3 hard-drive as sprays in Jet Set Radio. That'd be enough for me to buy them all over again.

I'd have to agree.

Screw this console emulation thingy, it makes no sense to constantly port the old games on the new consoles. Just play the fuck*ng ( :mrgreen: ) games on their original hardware. :)

First you say emulation then talk about porting....

Not the same thing.

I get what you are saying though.

So who actually thinks this rumor will ever become a reality? Because, I don't see it happening!

This is cool and all, but personally, I'd rather have Saturn games. No offence to the Dreamcast, but it's a rather recent system (only last gen, even if 10 years ago), and the games on it are still affordable (a new Dreamcast is only about $90, which is quite cheap when compared to new NESs and SNESs). Saturn games are almost universally more expensive and all of the great ones are also incredibly expensive. I know emulation is hard, but if it can be done on the PSP, it can be done on the PS3.
