So - most of my PS2 titles will work. Some has issues, and will most probably be addressed with updates to firmware - as thing in the IT industry normally work.
I mean, I buy a new PC, load a new OS, and then the printer driver don't work, but after a couple of months the drivers is updated and there we go.
Or the screen driver work, but not all the 3d functions is perfect, so I have to get an updated driver to fix the glitches. And after a couple of weeks or months the issues get sorted out. Normal - especially with BC.
The one thing that is amazing is the absolute hysteria when it comes to Sony - with any kind of news. If it offers BluRay -"arrghh - who needs it" - the sheep yell. If a title has a glitch - "ohhh the sky is falling - woe is us woe is us".
Seems like the master if FUD is really hard at work over here. Actually all it does is motivate me more to get a PS3. I mean - if the competition is in complete hysteria everytime something happens - then it can only mean that they are not very comfortable - and need to pretend the sky is falling - when it is not. The Cry Wolf has been going on for so long that it just becomes laughable now.
The media technique known as spinning - take the positive of the competitor and try and make it look bad. Take your own weak points and try and make it look like it is a positive. Now let us just stand back and see:
The PS3 offers backward compatibility - that while not perfect now - will improve over time to cover the few titles that is not running perfect - like the ones where the background music does not play (oh what a major problem - woe is us - woe is us). And then the PS2 is still supported - with new titles coming out still - and which will most likely run on PS2 and PS3.
Now for the MS one - they release the 360 - with weak BC, drops the XBox like a hot potato - no more new titles - so screw you who still owns an older XBox - buy a new one. So the older drive is now a great feature - and the ugly plug-in me-too HD drive that is not good for anything - is suddenly *good*. S in 2-3 years - what do you expect? They will drop the 360, release the 720 with little or no BC for the 360, less BC for the 180, and screw you - no more titles for the 360 - buy the 720. And this is thought of as *good*?
I mean - this is how they operate - just check out the NTFS support for Windows 95/98/ME. Or the USB support for NT. Oh right - it does not exits - screw you - get the new OS. And this is *good*?
