That doesn't explain why the PS3 is backwards compatible with the PS1 but not PS2...

Because the PS1 can be really easily emulated with hardware like that? Or maybe because it's got a similar CPU architecture?

So how come the old PS3 could, but the new one can't?

Can't or won't? As to that I'm not actually sure. Does the "new" PS3 have altered hardware?

Do I look like a wiz at hardware mechanics to you?

[Tanassy]

Not at all.

*ahem* Anyway, after reading up, I think it's decided it's more of a "won't" than a can't. Than again, it was also covering the "costly" issue I brought up earlier, because I know there were plenty of subtle changes, and that could well mean there was also some behind-the-scenes tinkering. I suppose it was only because the demand for Backwards compatibility wasn't high enough, and well, the machine was like $2174612732863 [actually roughly  $900].

So again, money is the problem
F*ck, you'd think that with EVERYTHING being overpriced they could afford to be more creative with their creations...
We are literally paying more for less
Its annoying

There are reasons for the shitty prices on stuff, but when it comes to SONY,what's the excuse?

Make the PS2 last longer?

[Tanassy]

Make the PS2 last longer?

You could be right.

[Hakudamashi]

You could be right.

Y'know what else would make it last?
Having it easily accessible and a low price
So if it's just PS2 epics that you missed that you want, you could just get a PS2
Nd if you want all the current big games with The ability to play ur old PS2 games as a bonus, the. Get a PS3

I like how we shifted this discussion from Nintendo to Sony
That is soo like me XD
