Sony continues it's trend of crappy backwards compatibility [video]
They're just proving Maddox right more and more.
It does look worse, but I'm just glad it has it at all I guess. *gets popcorn and waits for Dreddz*
More reason for me not to like the PS3.
*eats popcorn with Lunar waiting for the same thing*
I was taking the video seriously until It was apparant that it was made by an Xbox fanboy who is taking it out on Sony to make himself feel better.
An issue like this should of sparked a bigger outcry by now, I wanna see real deal proof of this issue. As far as Im concerned, its 50/50 whether this guy is showing us all the truth, or simply editing the video.
To put it this way, could you believe a guy, forks out 600 big ones to later post videos showing hate towards the console and starts loving the other. Bit fishy if you ask me.
And for the record, if this was a problem, it could easily be sorted out in later updates so I wouldnt worry too much...

Sony sure does suck. I bought myself a 360 and can't wait to pick of Gears of War and play Halo 2 online in better faster quality!
I don't think the video was really altered because there is no point in doing so but I also have a hard time believing that it could really be that bad when they put the PS2 hardware in the PS3...but then again it is sony. If it was going to be thisty then they should have done like microsoft and released patches to run games over the course of the year. 360 now has a very good portion of the library running if not most all of it by now and it is only one year in the system life span. I think they hit all major titles as well.
Sony just sucks.
Microsoft have dealt with backwards compatability the worst out of all three consoles. Fact.Originally Posted by edczxcvbnm
I think they have dealt with it the best. The whole library will eventually get done and they actually use the power of the current system to make the games run smoother and at a higher frame rate.
Both Sony and Microsoft are dealing with it pretty bad this generation. You can pick one over the other, but the PS2 showed how it should be done.
That's pretty
But where's the proof that Sony refuses to put out a firmware update? They could be working on the problem right now, asshole. Whine, whine, whine.
Where was the claim made that they weren't? They just said that it could be fixed in a firmware update (which I saw today is in the works).
This really just further proves that Sony hasn't learned from their mistakes about QA before shipping the final product.
I still can't play my Evil Dead games on my 360.
All I can think of is that I really, really miss FFX.
Edit: Yeah this is BS though get it fixed Sony, now.
The video, right before the FFX intro part. D:~Where was the claim made that they weren't? They just said that it could be fixed in a firmware update (which I saw today is in the works).
Reason I didn't buy one when it first got released. Anyone who threw their $600.00 to get it, I laugh at you.
Also, there was some continuation video about some guy making a joke on how "who would buy a PS3 to play PS2/1 games" -- well, its quite common sense, who would want to stack a PS2/1 and a PS3 near eachother, let alone switching cords or simply having more cords behind the tv causing a fire hazard when you can play all the games on one system. Thats why someone would want to play PS2/1 games on PS3.
For the record, I'm no fan boy of any system, I simply look at the facts of each and decide. I've been buying PS1/2 games for years, I haven't touched a nintendo product since Nintendo 64, but this year, Wii simply wins.
