Namely, by constantly crowing about the benefits of BC and how it is a standard across Sony consoles, before barely mentioning that it will be removed from the 40gb SKU, save for a small, inconspicuous indicator on the back of the box. |
I was just explaining why i thought BC was important and should be standard. I don't really consider someone a real gamer unless they still don't play atleast 1 older generation console they own. Otherwise your just someone who likes new games.
There is a difference between appreciating gaming and appreciating games in my opinion. To those who think having a PS3 doesn't suddenly invalidate every PS2 game they own(Or 360, or wii for that matter should they get rid of BC), the kind of people that like to collect and keep games instead of trade them all in after they beat them... backwords compatability is VERY important because people have limited space.
Well that and the PS2 is a shoddy product and i can't wait to have a nice sturdy PS3 to keep my PS2 games going so that i don't have to find a working PS2 on ebay when the PS5 comes out.
Like my trusty NES. (And Atari, and Balley for that matter.)
