Backwards compatibility isn't important because most people won't be playing their PS2 games when they get their PS3.
But that doesn't mean we don't need BC.
We need BC because we want assurance that if our PS2 were to fail one day, and we have an urge to play a PS2 game, we can still play it on our PS3.
And if Sony is smart, they would also start releasing PS2 games on the PS Store. Which would then re-assure usage of PS2 games on PS3. BC would then no ...

You sound like a feminist trying to spin anything men do to make it sound as if it oppresses women.
How did he in anyway hint that the Wii is inferior JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT that his wife bought it? That's just so ridiculous I shouldn't even reply to you right now.
My brother bought a 360. I'm not interested in it, so I never touched it. Does that mean I think its inferior just because my brother's the one who bought it? Hell to the no....
Only if new Suikodens were as good as Suikoden 2 or 3.
Suikoden 3 was pretty good, but only its main characters had any significance.
Suikoden 2 is the most perfect RPG ever created. No flaws whatsoever. The story pulls you in, makes you feel emotions of betrayal, loss, hatred, etc.
Most of the 108 stars/characters had enough significance in the storyline to warrant being in the game. If not, then they were awesome enough and deserved to be there. Then t...
Sony and Square has only announced once that FF13 was exclusive.
MGS4 has been confirmed a billion times already that it will remain exclusive.
The only way MGS4 gets ported is if another studio makes a deal with Kojima and does the porting. But that itself is still very unlikely, since Kojima doesn't want the quality to suffer.
Sony statement: Ken Kuturagi has left Sony and Playstation to pursue "other endeavors".
Ken is now the head of Yakuza drug dealing in Japan. His drugs are region free. You can import them from Japan. They call him Aoi Ichido... in other words, Blue Ray!!!
Stand tall and shake the heavens! Number one RPG for me, with only one flaw... disc 2. Although disc 2 was awesome, everybody just knows there were supposed to be another 20-40 hours plus of story and gameplay that was cut out.
Suikoden 2 is a close second for being so perfect. The story was able to make you feel, the battles were awesome, the wars were strategic, the 108 stars, the multiple endings, everything was perfect... and especially that one wall pushing glitch that allow...
I thought it was about PSP.
There's already tons of adult games... especially those coming from Japan.
Why is America always behind Japan?! >_<
J/K =P
Pixel Junk Monsters for the PS3!!!! ^_^
On Dec 12th, we will see the final ending.
*cuts to scene*
Snake is sitting on a rocking chair, then he suddenly dies. "GAGH!!"
Otacon will turn to Snake and shout "Snake! SNAKE! SNAAAAAAKE!!"
*cuts to next scene*
Snake wakes up to bright blinding Heavenly lights.
"Did you RIKE it?!!"
An exclamation mark appears on top of Snake's head as he sees God... also known as... Hideo Kojima!!!
<...
I love the idea of the Assassin class. ^_^
Get this straight through all your thick heads... GT5:Prologue IS the development of GT5!!!
If Polyphony Digital stopped development on GT5:Prologue, then you will NOT be getting any GT5.
Polyphony is working on creating the essential roots of GT5 with GT5:P. Once GT5 comes out it will be exactly like GT5:P but with more cars, tracks, features, events, etc.
"If" MGS4 was actually released on 360, it would STILL require installations. UNLESS Kojima significantly compresses all the audio and textures which he won't.
So you have to switch discs every now and then AND also install every now and then.
But most importantly... it won't happen since Kojima Productions developed MGS4 with ONLY the PS3 techs and specs in mind. FFXIII was developed on an engine that was made for multiplatform.
None of this m...
If you read what Jack Tretton and Peter Dille said, the 80gb no-BC PS3 and discontinuation of all other PS3's will only apply to North America. I guess its because they want to beat the 360 in North America this Christmas.
Anyways, I can understand if they take out BC now, but they should at some point put it back in or release a firmware update that allows all PS3's to play PS2 games.
Its REALLY important. Imagine once Sony stops manufacturing PS2's, and your PS2 br...
Hopefully Fat Princess gets enough buzz about its title and premise as much as GTA does. Huge sales will surely come!
It would be outrageous if Fat Princess then became a system seller! The key to the console war. Lol.
Nowhere on there does it say anything about XBLA.
They should just make a porno flick of a girl playing any video game while getting tapped.
Then they could release multiple titles in the series by simply video editing which game is being played in the background. Lol.
Awesome graphics for a 256 player game. I wonder if there will be campaign and co-op or if its an online only game?
By the way, I wonder how they'll deal with the lag when there are 256 different IP's interacting with each other? O_o
If they want to go multiplatform, or took money to go multiplatform... its ultimately their choice.
If Sony steps in and pays them to stay, it will only make it a battle of one-upsmanship. Microsoft will offer more, then Sony will try to beat that offer, etc. Its a dirty battle.
Sony knew about all the troubles of third party games this generation... which was why they spent that money on first party studios early on instead.
Multi-bomb Search and Destroy sounds awesome... but wouldn't that make that one challenge too easy? The challenge where you have to kill someone currently carrying a bomb.
Anyways, this will make the game that much harder. Hell, tactics and strategy will have to adapt!
