I would agree with the theme of the thread. I never owned a xbox but did buy the 360 and the games library is impressive and the online is amazing and XBLA is really good. Reliability was the one glaring issue, as well as lack of forward thinking (blue ray HD DVD) though that may have been smart in hindsight

The PS3 was the system I was waiting for and to date have still not bought. There are some good games coming but I couldnt dish out $500.00, and in my mind its not worth $400.00 when my 360 can do anything it can do. The inconsistent BC is an issue for me cause I have 50 plus ps2 games and would like not to have to invest in another ps2 mine is six years old and about to go.

Didnt need BC on the 360 as stated did not have an xbox but the BC of the 360 is actually better than the PS3, I find that ironic

People who wine about Backwards Compatibility make me laugh. The Nintendo 64 wasnt backwards compatible. The first playstation wasnt.

We buy a new console to play new games. If you wanna play your PS2 games, but a PS2!

 

Interesting when 360 was getting BASHED for lack of BC (Backward Compatiable) to xbox everyone seemed to be more than happy to point out the PS3 was.  Now the 360 is more BC and not PS3 and who cares dosent matter.

As to your point PS wasnt backwards comapatible to what it was the first sony system?

Sony made a fan and consumer out of me when the PS2 was BC and lost me when PS3 wasnt s promised, will I buy one yes but proce needs to drop below $300.00
