FishyJoe said: Speaking of casual consumers, what happens if somebody buys a PS3 thinking it's PS2 compatible? Unless it's written all over the box, this scenario is going to happen on a regular basis, since the PS3 has already been advertised as being BC. That's a very awkward position to put the consumer in. The more I think about it, the worse it sounds. It's just not worth pissing off consumers just to save a couple bucks. When is the last time a console manufacturer has removed a major feature mid-cycle? I'm trying to think but I'm coming up blanks. Usually it's the other way around, adding features. |
That's probably one of the things we'll see in the news when this launches, people returning consoles and stuff like that. Unless Sony really makes it clear, in which case kudos to them. They made it clear in their press release, which is a first step. I'm not so sure most consumers will know it though.
