People always either use this as an excuse or the price... Pretty stupid since the 20GB unit (which has now been discontinued in NA) had BC and was $350. And when they started to clearance it, I was seeing them on sale for $300. Weak excuse if you ask me.


On a side note, I wish they would release that draw-your-own-tank game for the PS Eye. Or just anything other than the current use-jazz-hands-to-move-something PSN games. Oh well, at least there's EoJ, plus Burnout and LBP make good use of the Eye.]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/

Larger profit margin on PS2 titles + much larger install base globally = This comes to PS2 first.

But the the post author is right - anything out on PS2 should be playable on the PS3.

Except the Wiimote can sense motion in 3D and the PSEye can't.. that's fact not theory.]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/
If you want to get technical, Nintendo has motion-sensing planned for the GameCube...so who ripped off who hear? It's really a pointless argument.

Furthermore, the PS3's EyeToy, while capable of a few cool things, can't compare to the Wiimote capabilities, particulary when combined with WiiMotion Plus. The EyeToy's "motion detection" is restricted not just by line of site, but also ambiant light. Furthermore, it's framerate at the higher resolutions is less than ideal. Finally, it can't detect depth accuratly enough to be of any use -- the PS3 eyetoy is barely a step beyond the PS2's, which itself is quite limited.]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 7:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/
Every PS3 should be backwards compatible. Every single one. Sony made a commitment to people stating that Playstation is a PLATFORM, and that consumers should feel good knowing that their software will always be supported. Since then, Sony has gone back on their commitment, and consumers looking to get a next-gen system aren't going to leverage their old software. This means that people upgrading have no reason to go with a PS3, and should get a cheaper system that has a larger library of games.]]>Aug 14th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/
I don't care (much) about backwards compatibility on the PS3, but that's a ridiculous statement. That's generally how it works with ALL electronics. If you can't handle it then too bad. ]]>Aug 14th 2008 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 15th 2008 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/
I got a PS3 with backwards compatibility, and then picked up a PS3 eye with Eye of Judgement. Now, EOJ is a terrible game, but that's not the main problem. The main problem is that the new PS3 eye does not work with the PS2 EyeToy software. As a PS3 owner, if I want to use any of the PS2 EyeToy software, I need to get a PS2 EyeToy.

Now my TeeVee has 2 eye cameras atop it, one for the PS3 and one for the PS2. Atop that, all games are really imprecise unless the lighting is PERFECT. I really wanted a number of the games to work well, but there are certain times of day where the lighting in the room make the games completely unplayable.

The eye games are great ideas, but I'd rather have my Wii remote any day since it is so much more damn reliable than the flaky responsiveness of the Playstation Eye games, and Sony's stupid move of making the PS3 Eye not backwards compatiable with PS2 software.]]>Aug 14th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/Aug 14th 2008 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.camspace.com/

Oh I can handle it, Sony never made a commitment to anybody for anything other than themselves to make a profit. To think anything less is only fooling yourself. Not only is the statement not ridiculous, but to assume that all electronics by nature should be backwards compatible is expecting something you were never promised. Just because I offer you something today, doesn't mean I HAVE to offer you the same thing tomorrow. The same holds true for backwards compatability and all electronics. I paid more money so I could have it, others did not and thus do not have it. Everybody has the same option though to pay for it if they want to or not. So to complain that your system doesn't have it is childish. You should have paid more money when you had the option and gotten it like the rest of us. But to expect something by nature without any justification for the expectation is ridiculous.]]>Aug 14th 2008 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/sony-brewing-up-1-1-motion-tracking-sword-game-for-ps2-and-eyeto/
