Anyway, now to be slightly helpful.

Yes, yes, it launched at $600. THREE YEARS AGO! Let it go, people! Do we all hate Nintendo because they made the Virtual Boy ten billion years ago?

As everyone's said, it does play PS1 games. It doesn't play PS2 games because it raised manufacturing costs too much, and also caused overheating issues, or some such thing (which is why 60GB PS3s have the highest failure rate).

As for RRoD: It was a widespread failure. None of the PS3 or Wii's hardware issues have come close to that in frequency, and really I don't see how you can possibly break your PS3, short of throwing it out of a window or dumping it into a filled bathtub. I haven't gotten YLoD, and I've left my PS3 on for a week on end in an enclosed space with a game running (long time ago).

What gives Sony integrity? The fact that they are willing to fund projects which clearly aren't going to make much of a profit, if any: Heavy Rain, Team ICO, etc.

I stopped reading when I saw that you brought up the old "firmware bricks ps3s"
And I don't see repeated issues with their updates, have you ever thought it was the person's system that was bad to begin with and not the firmware?
I didn't read past that, because that's all I need.

I told you to stay away from Seece's profile!

Thanks! I guess I will have to wait for Sony to put ff12 on the PSN....I refuse to buy another PS2.

You sure about that? o_O

I'd check again if I were you...

I dont know if youre being mean or just joking around=l...

OT:well then dont trust sony is your opinion and youre opinion is the only thing that counts to... though there are times when other's are needed like advice... well thats it I guess :/...

Oh god... you... keep your PS3 away from me!!! they are pretty boys though gotta say that. :D

By "fessed up" I hope you mean "threatened with a lawsuit".

Long thread but adding my 2 cents. I have a PS3 that has never failed me, not after an update nor any other time. I had 1 PS2 and it never failed me. I have owned 2 televisions in the past 12 years and they were both Sony. I have had a few other items that were made by Sony and they were as reliable.

Does this mean everyone has the same experience? No. Does it mean to me they have shown themselves to be a reliable, dependable company? Yes.

In today's world the number of companies that actually care about anything short of money/profit is pretty small. I don't kid myself and pretend Sony cares about me personally, but they do give me reliable products and have earned my "loyalty".

Sorry but your article does appear to be "troll-ish" as many have said, but that is my personal story of Sony love.

Every ps3 console plays PSone games
