Why are you so intent on defending Sony's poor decisions?
Can you defend their reasoning for not including rumble and now deciding to add it in?
You don't need to tell us that Sony is right. We are not robots. It sounds like the majority of the people posting, and other people writing blogs, feel that Sony is again backing up on their claims that BC is a core business philosophy and that all Playstations will always be able to play consumers library of Playstation games. You can provide all the quotes and interviews you want, most of us still don't like this. I want to get rid of my PS2, not keep it when I upgrade.
Do you keep your old TV under you new TV when you upgrade? No, you get rid of it.
Do you still have a portable CD player to play your CD music collection? No, you get rid of it when you rip them all to your computer and put them on your mp3 player.
So why would I want to have an 8 year-old tech sitting under my 1080p LCD tv?
I was not defending their poor decision. I am pointing out the fact that Nilay and others here on Engadget always do a negative spin regarding the PS3 or any other product Sony puts out.
As for the PS3, the 80GB SKU still has BC compatibility. This 40GB is a great choice for people like me who NEVER owned a PS1 or PS2, so saving some money on something i dont have use for is great.
