How to transfer PS2 saves to a PS3.

**farplaner** · 08-09-2006, 02:46 AM

To Nominus and Maxico: I am humbled.

Still, anything that means more money over the already high (justifiable or not) price for the PS3 gives me a headache, but seeing as it will probably be 2 or 3 years after its release before I buy one, I'll stop bitching about the PS3....for now.

Why do you say that, Rengori? o.o If it's about the saving stuffs, here's just a quick explanation.

First, you have the PS3. A handly little device that, according to Sony, people will buy even if it doesn't have games.

With the PS3 comes a HardDrive, and one of the folders in it is the Virtual Memory Card. This is used for PS1 and PS2 game saves. If you want to put save files from Ps1 and Ps2 Memory Cards into this Virtual Memory Card, you need to buy the adaptor, which costs roughly $15000 US. Then, you'll be able to plug regular Memory Cards into the PS3. Then, while going through Menu's, you can copy or move the data from the Memory Card to the Hard Drive.

That seems like far more hassle than necisary.

I wouldn't say it's a hassle. You just copy the data.

Edit: And buy an adaptor for roughly $15000 US.

Sounds like a good idea. It is a little to much hassle but only some stupid fat bastard, too lazy to get of his ass wouldn't do it.

Or someone without PS1 and PS2 data...

I find it lame you have to pay more for this. 600 is already alot, and one of the benefits of a Memory Card is that i can transfer save data to someone else, like i dont bring my entire console to my friend's, just my card and perhaps game. Getting an adaptor to do that is retarded.

Ken, that figure can't be right. $15,000 is about 25 times!! the price of the PS3 itself... that's a pretty damn rough estimate

Well, my days of torture with a faulty bitch of a PS2 will be at an end once I get this.

Yeah, now you'll have a faulty bitch of a PS3

I guess I can understand their reasoning for not including the memory slots in the PS3 by default, and I can live with that. But I still think that it'd be more convenient if we could just plug in the memory card and go...
