Now I’m REALLY confused…
But Josh it’s not intentionally hating. My understanding from other threads is that Sony intentionally took out the ability to natively play PS1/PS2 games so they could implement it differently (or sell it back) later. That would be like Nintendo taking away the gamecube compatibility after a few months of sales so they could release (or sell) a seperate “channel” for it later. Yeah in the end it might be nice but in the meantime the players who didn’t jump on the bandwagon from the start are kinda screwed. Everyone knows the console could easily play them and probably has the raw power to software emulate them, I guess it’s just taboo to discuss it…
I just think it hurts you guys is all I’m saying. I think that’s something Sony should invent a time machine to go back and redo that whole thing differently.
Btw, integration with TVs is a sexy feature.
