This console is not backwards compatible, in fact the only PS3 that ever was, was one of the first units made, a 60Gig unit. It was only backwards compatible compatible with PS2. I had one of those for years, it finally died when a visiting dog decided to urinate on it! All PS3s have build in wifi and hdmi output.

It has built in wifi. And hdmi. I know for sure it can't play ps1 games and from what i know only the first gen 60 gig. Played ps2 games

What other games is it compatible with? Is there a list somewhere? Are there any games included with the set-up software? Hank

im thinking of buying it too, I already have the surround sound system and ps3 but am wondering how to hook up the sound for the ps3. Easy enough for the cable. run the audio cables from the DVR to the surround sound and the HDMI cable to the projector. But the ps3? Ok i run the HDMI from the ps3 to the projector...but if there isnt an audio out how do i get the sound from the ps3 to the surround sound?

Technically speaking the console has less to do with the quality of the sound, if not related at all. However the game its self will affect the quality of the surround sound features. If you play newer games that support dolby digital youll be fine. Hope this statement helps! - Jake

Yes, correct. Man, the price has dropped significantly since I bought it.If you're looking for more inputs, you might want to try the other ones. I've been looking to upgrade since there's only two inputs, but then again I really don't need any more. I have a Blueray player and my PS3, but that's pretty much it.

Any legitimate PS1 game can be used to Swap for PS1 games.. Just look up a tutorial on YouTube. The PS1's security is much weaker.

I have a PS3 and it is friggen awesome to play on!!! It has multiple HDMI ports so you can have a satellite receiver, game console, Blu ray player all hooked up at the same time without an A-B switch.

not alot of content on Blu-Ray 3d yet any way. Firmware for PS3 3d for Blu-Ray is scheduled to release in september...so soon...In the mean time you can play games in 3d. There are demos on the PSN. Patience

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc...Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

Hmm... not a clue about firmware version. I actually returned the product because it did not solve the problem I was facing (HUGE lag on my PS2 Playstation when connected to new 52" AQUOS Sharp LCD Hi-Def TV). No solution found yet!

It does play PS1 games. The other answers here are wrong when it comes to that, but it WON'T play PS2 games.

Nope, As far as I know different systems. I sold my old X-box and the games. The New X-Box coming out this year should play the current X-box games, but all of the new games will be on line. End of the X-Box line in my house I'm afraid.

Thanks that is great info. I WAS thinking about purchasing the 7 series now I will wait for something better. Maybe by a PS3.

I would say no b/c nothing with xbox one is backward compatible. But I'm not 100 percent sure. Call game stop.

I also have been considering this TV and wondering about the HDMI 1.0 issue. Since so far no knowledgable techie has chirped in I did a little of my own research, and here is what I found out. This all comes from an industry web site hdmi.org ------------------------ The initial HDMI 1.0 specification was released in December 2002. Version 1.1 was released in May 2004. Version 1.2 was released in August of 2005. Version 1.2a was released in December of 2005. Version 1.3 was released in June of 2006. Q. What functionality was added to each specification? The following provides an overview of major functionality added to each version of HDMI HDMI 1.1 Support for DVD Audio ------------------------------- So my guess is that like the poster said it will not take the audio from his dvd player in the hdmi input, but I assume he could bring the audio in through other inputs assuming his dvd player has other outputs. Hopefully someone with more knowledge can elaborte on this, meanwhile I think I'll move on and look for a set that has at least a HDMI 1.1 interface since using a DVD player is one thing I want to do with it.
