starcraft said: Ive said it time and time again, Sony is ripping off consumers, especially in my country Australia. We have NO access to a BC model. The only model available is $AU260 overpriced based on exchange rates (and that is AFTER taking into account our GST) and at the very least $AU200 overpriced based on economies of scale as well.
Ive said time and time again. Give me BC and a fair price (one where they make the same profit/loss as in the US and Japan per unit after taking into account scale and taxes) which would be $AU500 or at the MOST $AU550 and I WILL buy a PS3.
And their blatant failure to try and alert consumers to the lack of BC after pushing it so hard for a year is pathetic. |
its on the box.. cant get any better of an alert then that. Plus honestly why does BC matter that much? You bought a PS3 for PS3 games. The added ability to play PS1 games is just a bonus. |
That's only an arguement for non-gamers in my opinion. Don't you ever go back and play your old systems. Hell as a PC gamer first you should get this, that's the biggest strength of PC, a back catalogue of cheap classic games that are of the highest quality. |
i've been trying to hold my tongue for the longest but before i go to sleep id just like to point out that the 360 arcade is not backwards compatible either... |
No? See I didn't even know that. Looks like if i get one i won't be getting an arcade. Though I never had an Xbox in the first place i'm sure it has some games worth playing.
To someone who has 2 or 3 systems hooked up to each TV at a time. Backwords compatability is very important. I mean otherwise i either gotta get more TV's or systems with BC, and i don't have room for more TVs.
To me backwords compatability is like being able to save games. It's pretty much something that should be included in all systems. To me it's more basic than having online capabilties.
