If MS manages a cheap BC add on and Sony doesn't...someone gon die.

Sony did patent this back in 2010:

Hmm, that reminds me of something:

       +                  =          

Sega Genesis                                   Power Base Converter               Sega Genesis able to play Sega Master System Games

Sega made one for the Sega Game Gear too:

 

It also reminds me of this:

Yep, thats an Atari 2600 adapter for the Colecovision called the Expansion Module No. 1.


LOL, Sony patents everything just like Apple. The Patent Office just signs off patents and figures courts can settle any disputes. The idea of an add on for backwards compatability or extended compatability is not unique or inventive and Sony should never have been given any patents for it.
