StaceyPowers Posted May 12, 2022 Posted May 12, 2022 There has been rumor (?) lately about PS3 emulation on PS5 via PS Plus. I would love to be able to play PS3 games on PS5, but I don’t see myself wanting to pay for a subscription for it. I’d rather just buy another PS3 if mine dies. Thoughts?

Well its been confirmed now, unfortunately its going to be streaming not emulation since the ps3 is hard to emulate due to the way it was build (dont ask me details because I dont know) they are already showed the tiers cost, I really want to try out the ps3 compatibility since there a lot of ps3 games that I missed out on, but streaming will not be available on my region, still Im planning to get the highest tier as possible to try out ps2 and psp games
Heatman Posted May 13, 2022 Posted May 13, 2022 If the game's that I'm supposed to play are worth it, I wouldn't mind at all paying for the subscription for backwards compatibility games.
Yaramaki Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 No because i most likely own the game either on ps3/psp/ps2 or another platform, besides why should i pay twice for something i already own. Oh right because it's sony
Withywarlock Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 Were I a PS5 owner I'd probably say no. It's a matter of 'too little, too late'. I appreciate that not everyone can or will emulate or find room or the money to buy an older console and just play that, but as for myself I'm long done with subscriptions in general where I can avoid them. This is one of those cases. Yo ho ho and a bottle of pop.

They feel that at the level where they are with their console, it's more than enough. Withywarlock 1
m76 Posted May 15, 2022 Posted May 15, 2022 I don't want to pay a subscription for any game, period. It fuels the sunken cost fallacy, and fomo.I play games when I'm in the mood for them. Having an active subscription would force me to play even when my heart is not 100% in it. And I'd still be uncomfortable for not getting the most out of the subscription. Withywarlock 1

It's a waste of money to him.
Scorpion Posted November 22, 2024 Posted November 22, 2024 Absolutely! A subscription for backwards compatibility would enhance my gaming library and let me enjoy classic games seamlessly on modern consoles.
