I don't get how VIII can be released in the states, yet it needs further testing in europe.

PAL vs NTSC. Simple.

I thought had become not an issue anymore though

Well, it is considering it's a PS1 game, and not a PS3 game. PS1 games haven't changed and still use the PAL format. Needs to work with every supported european language too.

I've heard so many people say ff8 cannot run on the ps3 etc etc, yet i doubt they have tried it themselves with a b/c ps3, as mine runs it fine, so unless my ps3 is different to all the other b/c ps3's out there...

and as stated before, its just a matter of ntsc vs. pal, i know i would rather wait a few months or even a year for an awesome glitch free game over getting it early and having it freeze or glitch. patience is better than rushing guys

u all can relax cos ff8 is comin out on psn tmr (4th)

[reilz81]

so ffviii is out whens ffix coming cause i have the discs but it wont run on the ps3 slim

@reilz81

Yeah, I have that problem too, apparently it's got something to do with a different loading software they used for VIII and IX, which isn't supported on the PS3. The way these games are loaded up on the store, I wouldn't be holding my breath for IX. Besides, I'll only end up having to buy it again. You'd be better off just using a PS1 or 2 to play your FFIX, even if there are no wireless controllers...

I have the discs for FF8. Will they now work or do i have to download the version off the playstation store
