    I my friends PS2 wasn't a fan of pre-rendered backgrounds and used to take forever to load, and sometimes it wouldn't load them at all.

    For example.
    I played FFVIII on my friend's PS2 (first-gen, I think) and the textures got really badly corrupted in the middle of a battle.

    I thought you were being sarcastic.

    I'm going to stick with the "Wait untill they release a compatability list before you start moaning" standpoint.

    Although due to my PS2 recently dying (Being a launch console, it served it's time), I am kind of relying on a PS3 to play Okami and FFXII.

    Although if the software based PS1 emulator for the PSP is anything to go by, this shouldn't be too much of an issue. Perhaps even a framerate increase on games like Shadow of the Colossus due to the fact it no longer relys on PS2 hardware?

    I can hope.
    Word/s.

    ...Yep, really great logic they're using here. Paying more for less of a system? Sony must be really stupid/arrogant/stoned/all of the above to believe they're going to get much money off of this from people other than rabid PS fanboys.

    It's entirely possible that it could cost them more to get the things into and distributed throughout the European Union, thus the price increase despite getting less system. It may be part of why they're trying to lower the costs on the production end, otherwise I can't see why they'd bother changing the system much at all. You can't just assume that all the costs besides the manufacturing costs would be the same when dealing with a vastly different economic market.

    Consumers don't care about any of that.

    awk I can't believe this my PS2 broke down just before christmas so I bought a slimline as a replacement relying on the backwards compatability of the PS3, because lets face It I don't expect the slimline I have to last more than 1 year with my gameplay habits.
    On top of that is a royal pain in the butt to find a normal PS2 that isn't preowned how am I going to play all the classics when nostalgia kicks in?*sniff*

    Thanks to White for the sig <3
