well yea, i see nothing wrong with modding consoles that you OWN and playing games that you OWN on them. hell if someone can mod a ps3 to play 360 games i'm fine with that as well. they still have to buy the games. i was just saying removing bc pissed me off. and i would much rather them if they have 2 versions it be a bc one and a non bc one instead of pathetic hard drive space. and yea their SAVINGS, were purely for themselves. tehy screwed us consumers over. we used to get something, and now we don't. same price, less features. |
Well no, modding a PS3 to play 360 or Wii games is different. Those consoles still exist, and Sony doesn't have licences to play 360 games. That's unfair because by moding a PS3 to play 360 or Wii games (assuming modding it to even play 360 games is possible), will affect console sales.
If you want to play Halo or Mario Kart, you need to own the respective console.
Moding the PS3 to play old consoles, which are no longer in curculation is different. All moding a PS3 to play Sega Saturn does is save you money. Sega is not loosing money on an un-purchased console, since they no longer produce them, and neither are game sales. In fact this type of modification is legal in USA and Canada.
Either way removing BC was just unfair. the fact that Sony sued GeoHotz for restoring this feature and attemping to surpass privacy laws is even worse. The Code of Conduct sony showed was just plain pathetic.
