Cute, but A. The TFW's are alive and kicking on nearly every Joystiq post. Sometimes I wonder how some commenters even have time for gaming. B. I'm a little to old for wars or alliances. I've had nearly ever major system from the Atari 2600 in my lifetime (skipped only the Sega Saturn). Of those many years of gaming I've only had 4 consoles fail on me: The PS, the PS2, the PS3, and the Xbox 360. And of those 4 consoles I had only the manufacturer of one of them step up to the plate and replace it when it failed. No company can know absolutely that there will be no faults with their system and EVERY company cuts corners. I judge a company on how they deal with them when they arise. Granted Microsoft drug their feet, but who doesn't. Toyota did their accelerator problems and I think that was a tad more pressing. Microsoft did step up, though. So no, I'm not trolling, friend. I feel pretty justified.

Look, Sony pretty much standardized backwards compatibility, so what happened before the PS2 is irrelevant. What is relevant here is that some people are getting this feature and others aren't. It costs Sony nothing to allow you to download a digital version of a game you already own as long as that digital version is already hosted. Believe me, I have at least a couple of hundred dollars invested in Live Arcade games and I fully expect to still be able to access those on the next console. Both my money and the space in my house matter to me. I have owned every system Sony has released to this point and have been burned multiple times in multiple ways. I have no alliances, but I do care that a company will step up to the plate for its customers.

Sorry, I own a PS3 and their free just isn't good enough. Plus, it isn't free if you want features I absolutely could not live without, like party chat. If you really think you're getting a better deal for "free" on PS3, then this post doesn't apply to you, move along.

I doubt they're all that "active!" Amirite? A yuk yuk yuk yuk!

BF3 is awesome, can't say the same for Fifa 12

Makes me wish my PS3 drive still worked.

This game is why I'm glad every Live Arcade game is accompanied by a demo. Played it on day one and deleted it without even finishing that little tidbit!

Can you not? To be fair, I pretty much suck at fighting games outright and I've always found button combos fairly cumbersome and annoying. I have performed it with an analog stick, but I largely avoid it. If I play I use Chun Li and repeatedly jam the kick button;) I'm not saying that one input method might not be better in a certain situation than another. What I am saying is that, despite community consensus here at Joystiq, iOS devices have become legitimate gaming devices. I owned both a PSP and DS for many years and have put more gaming hours into my iPod than the two combined.
