    No 360 love, huh? Do want.

    I've modded my RB guitar a bit, with better behaving Overdrive sensors and foot pedal support via RJ45, as well as better action on the strum bar and replacement fret buttons. I like playing with MY guitar and hate having to use friends' hand-me-downs. HOWEVER, seeing how my Motorcycle is my only form of transportation, and I refuse to sling this thing on my back for a 100 mile drive, I would enjoy this thing a LOT. Hell, just let me break down an RB guitar like the GH guitar and I'd be happy.

    Ok...
    You know what's wrong with the video?
    There's no demonstration of the device being used.
    And I can only imagine it's horrible.
    Just like most "portable guitar" solutions, even though they are unrelated.

    Also, the whole assembling procedure makes it look cheap and clumsy. Like it doesn't take a lot to get jammed, broken, or both.

    If I was considering buying a PS3, I'd wait a price drop for them and buy one that had BC, dismissing the PS3 slim.

    Mainly because of having one console that could play both types of games, since I have a nice PS2 game collection.

    It's a design decision after all, and I don't blame Sony for discarding BC... but if I have a product that can do more for about the same price (or a bit more expensive), even if it is bigger and older I'd still get it.

    I wish people would stop bitching about this, if you REALLY want to play PS2 games, just spend that saved €/$100 on a PS2, simple!

    Oh you don't wanna spend more money? Well, you probably already have a PS2 if you wanna play PS2 games, so just shove that in underneath your TV, problem solved.

    Well when they make a game as pretty as Odin Sphere on the PS3, maybe I'll buy a PS3.

    I have a sh**load of PS1 and PS2 games I play on my PS3. I bought a First Gen PS3 because Sony has Historically made first gen devices Hardware Overkill. Castlevania SotN on PSN? Got the disc. Original Suikoden? Yup. I get that they want you to rebuy digital versions, but I paid more early on so I wouldn't have to.

    I never owned a PS2, or a PS2 game.
    I got the PS3 for all the other reasons.

    Seriously, all you BC people need to stop bitching and get yourself a PS2.

    People say you're lazy if you complain about changing disk on the 360. Now hooking up two different consoles to your TV is TOO tedious and difficult?

    Koller said, "It's not coming back, so let me put that on the table,"

    Translation: "What do you think we are, Stupid? Why would we do this when idiots are still paying us $100 a pop for those pieces of turds? When no one is willing to buy another PS2 unit, that's when we'll add the backward compatibility to the PS3."

    I don't think backward compatibility is a huge issue, but I will say it is nice to have. (I have a 60GB PS3.) I like to keep things neat and clean in my living room (I have a wife) so I don't really want a bunch of different consoles hooked up to my TV, and I do still have PS2 games that I play. Literally 2 nights ago I fired up Vice City again after watching season one of Miami Vice, which just put me in that mood. And I still have a few PS2 games that have not made it to the PS3 yet, like MLB Power Pros.

    I still have a PS2 that I *could* use if I had one of these newfangled PS3's, but it's just nice not to have to.

    Alas, poor PlayStation 2! I owned one, Kaiser:

    A console of infinite games, of most excellent fancy: it hath played for me DVDs a thousand times;

    and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!
    my gorge rims at it. Here hung that disc tray that I have loaded I know not how oft.

    Where be your games now? your
    exclusives like God of War and Shadow of the Colossus? your platformers and fighters? your catalogue of merriment,
    that were wont to set the speakers on a roar?

    Not one now, to boot your own classics? quite chap-fallen?

    Sucks, but luckily I have my PS2 right next to my PS3. So I can play all generations of PS games.

    In reply to PS2 Compatibility Never Returning to the PlayStation 3
    Yeah, I really think that the lack of backward compatibility is exaggerated as a problem. There are two main scenarios in which you would want to play PS2 games on your PS3: 1) you don't want to pay for expensive PS3 games, so you buy cheap PS2 games, and 2) you already have lots of PS2 games that you want to still play. The first scenario is unlikely, since people who buy $400+ PS3s are probably willing to buy PS3 games also. In the second scenario, you would probably have a PS2 already.

    @Hello Mister Walrus: I'm hesitant to buy new video games for my 400 dollar console. Most suck and are buggy and not worth the money. I'm fine playing the few games I have and watching Netflix on it.
