Crazy Taxi was multi-format. Definitely was released on PS2.
Not sure why anyone would want to play it on a PS3, though, much less why they'd want to pay whatever sum Sony think they can charge for the privilege. MS are just as bad, of course.
I'd perfer to rebuy my old games on the PSN. Most of my old ps games are all scrached up from poor storage abilities of a 13 year old me.
As for the planed obsolescence; my Blu-Ray drive craped out on me while playing demon soul's and wont play any PS3 games any more. But it still playes GT4 just fine. This failure reminds me of the old PS2. Just like the big PS3, the big ps2 failed just as the ps2 slim came out. My ps3 died in a similar way as well. The drives just will not buffer from the CD.
Hopefully GT5's install doenst require any buffering from the CD so I don't have to get a new one.
I think it depends how heavily you use them, and probably a bit on how much you move them around too.
I went through loads of Spectrums (a 48k +, 2x +2A's and a ZX81) because of a factory fault with the soldering of the power supply input. It wobbled and when the connection broke you lost power. And anyone who remembers loading from cassette will sympathise But they (apart from the ZX81) were used a LOT.
I've also been through the 360's repair once (for unreadable discs due to overheating) and a replacement (RROD a year later). Thankfully the new one seems to be fine. And it gets used a lot too. The PS3 doesn't get used nearly as much, so it's fine too.
The older PS3 models have laser alignment issues if you switch between BR and DVDs a lot. So I guess because the accuracy isn't quite to important for DVDs, a little misalign won't kill it the same as it will the Blu-ray. I understand it's a simple repair though.
There are 2 different pics there, one of Rome and one of the Monaco track, which is slightly different, so it isn't called Monaco. I believe it's slightly wider than the real track.
Monaco, the real, licenced Monaco was never in GT, that's why i asked. Will it be licenced Monaco, with Zepter boards and stuff, or the made up ad-boards. It's not the same feeling..
