All you PC fans keep talking about how you can play the latest and greatest titles, but you probably can't play a lot of the games you bought just a few years ago. Unless it breaks, my SNES will always be able to play all SNES games and if I want to get my Wii out in 20 years time I'll still be able to play a game I bought today. But I can no longer play most of the few PC games I own because they won't work on XP. For that simple reason PC gaming is useless to me.

What happened to the PC that you originally played these games on? Did you get rid of it? How is that any different that a PS3 not playing PS2 games?

It's the same computer with a later operating system (they worked on Windows 98, don't on XP). Microsoft sure know how to make shit products with a lack of backwards compatibility.

 


If you just bought a new PC you can easily run both XP and Vista on the same PC, and switch your OS as needed.  Vista's BC issues are exaggerated anyway.  Most games were patched to run on Vista just fine.
