More info here on Sony's PS3 forum.
My understanding was that Ninja Gaiden runs slower on the 360.Quote:

While I don't disagree with you completely, I do disagree somewhat. Backwards compatibility is a nice feature in some cases. I'll use the Nintendo Wii as an example: I have owned a gamecube for some time, but I got sick of it. Recently, I got a Wii. After testing out a few GC games on it, I decided to buy Mario Party 7, a gamecube game. Currently, I have 2 consoles connected to my receiver, a 360 and a Wii. If the Wii was not backwards compatible, I would not have bothered with Mario Party 7, or I'd have to have 3 consoles connected, and I don't have enough AV to accomplish that. I'm also getting Ocarina of Time: Master Quest shortly, which I will play on the Wii, despite the fact that it's a gamecube game.Quote:

You see, backwards compatibility isn't all it's hyped up to be, but it's a damn nice feature if you still want to play the older games and for one reason or another can't have 30 consoles connected all at once.
I agree with you to a point and it really is nice to have a modded console to play around with. I just don't think BC is as important as everyone makes it out to be.
For you BC sounds very important and i'm sure to a select few it is. But to the masses I don't think that BC is even a selling point in the slightest. I don't hear my casual gaming friends go "man i would get it if the bc was uber perfect". Only us here do that lol and I wouldn't consider us casual.
Not sure how definitive this is, but the ESRB site lists 998 Xbox titles that have been rated.Quote:

Well, that probably includes all the Live Arcade stuff for the original Xbox too. (Yeah, Robotron:2084 is listed for Xbox)Quote:

All they care about is rushing a half-assed product out in time to be “available” for the holiday season, but in the meantime, it is ruining their reputation!
Maybe they should start making crap TVs so they don't show off all the jaggies ;)Quote:

Thankfully I never really adopted any great love affair with the PS2. NextGen all the way.
I care about backward compatibility. at least until PC emulators can emulate the system near perfect.
wow, sony just cant win: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5337
now the FTC is watching them because of their viral marketing campaign.
Lol Giant Enemy Crab!!!
From what I got from the article I read about that yesterday, they're not just watching Sony, they're watching EVERYBODY closer. Basically, you have to disclose any affiliations you have, if you're an employee of a company you can't just start up a website and start pumping sunshine as though you're just a regular guy.Quote:

it's true. it seems though that their viral videos are the ones that got the attention though. i guess no more ilovebees?Quote:

I think this move towards cracking down on viral marketing is a good step in the right direction. I kind of like the idea of being able to trust fan boys as fan boys not paid flunkies.
This is one thing that I couldn't care less about to be honest. I've never used backwards compatibility on any system.
right, who didnt know ilovebees wasnt halo 2
well, people only know because video game news sites kept digging into it. it's not like they had a microsoft logo at the botom of the page. i dont have a problem with it, i'm just sayin...Quote:

i really don't get it. it can't be a hardware issue since the single chip solution (emotion and graphics synthesizer chip) of the PS2 is physically there! i suspect that all these issues should in theory be an easy fix with a firmware update.
