I've never understood it myself, either, but there was a fair amount of negativity.  Sony left off backwards compatiblity on purpose, they're forcing people to rebuy games, they're wasting time on ports instead of new games, they're doing this because the PS3 has no new games, they're looking for a quick cash-in, they're money-hatting publishers ... basically what you'd expect with people grasping at straws.  Silent Hill and MGS had a ton of heat, especially, as did the PSP GoW collection.  Because OMG PORTS, I guess.

Personally, I can't understand people getting bent out of shape because they have more choices.  Makes no sense to me.

I can sympathize with that 2nd one. Sony literally broke into my house a few years ago and told me they'd kill me and my pet hamster if i didn't buy a copy of the GOW collection. It was terrifying. I went and bought 6 copies just to be safe.

But yeah, i find it all pretty difficult to understand. Though i'd probably be much more tolerant of people disliking them if they maintained that opinion across all titles, not just those they have no interest in.

Even the hamster?  When will you stop the madness, Sony?  With tactics like these, it's no wonder people are against ports.
