After I To the Product out of the box and hooked it up to a TV(SDTV Mine U), here what i did in order.

1. The 1st thing i did was put in NHL 2001 for PS2 and the game works. But i hate how u have to keeping pressing the PSbutton whne u start a PS/PS2 game and also when u got back to the XMB. The game rumbles, but not like the PS2 version

2. The next thing i did i tried the remote play feature because i heard u can play PS1 games on PSP. so i pop in Crash Bandicoot 3 and it works but how come it doesnt fit the whole screen?

3. And now the big one, i pop in MGS 4. That 8 min installation stuff is awful. When the game begin, it started with an interview with david Hayter but i accidently press a button than it switch to another video footage. pressed the button and again, another odd video footage, can someone please explain that to me? after that was over and a cutscene, i was finally in gameplay mode. Ofourse i noticed the graphics and it look impressive and remember,i'm on SDTV. I ended my 1st MGS4 session at the point in which snack finds the oil drum. I hate the LS/R2 buttons not to mention

Other Things i did i need explaining

How come the PS3 doesnt copy the music just as it is from the source. when the PS3 copied my music, it had the tracks all over the place. Its the same with videos.

Ha, you skipped passed some of what made MGS4 funny. That entire opening movie was an allegory. I'd suggest you go back and watch it instead of being so impatient.

Yeah the bundle also came with a Free Download game called PAIN. Hmm how much did i really saved

PS3 starting price is $400(not including taxes in this) MGS Bundle was $499 and the extra features are

1. 80% BC but can improve in system update= right now if indeed all my PS2/PS1 games work, then i say i have a new PS2 which it also dubs a PS1. PS2s cost about $79- $129 New

2. MGS 4= $59.99

3. Pain Download= 9.99 value

4. Blu Ray PlackBack= I dont care about Movies but u do have to reckonize u have the next gen movie playback and the lowest one cost about $399 and standalone BR players arent bulletproof like internet ready.(did they update standalone players?)

5. DS3$54.99= Sixaxis= $49.99 which = $5

because it doesnt play all ps2 games. However welcome to the sony family. You should get uncharted, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, COD4, GTA4, DMC4, Ratchet and Clank future and if you like RPGs the get Folklore.

The reason games need to install is because the blu-ray drive has a slow read time. It does this to decrease loading times.

Uh, in order to get info about a cd, you have to tell the ps3 to look up the info online, just as a regular computer does, except a pc usually does this automatically if it's connected to the internet. Just press triangle, and there should be an option somewhere before you rip the cd. The new L2 R2 buttons are made like trigger buttons for better functionality. It all depends on what you like.

To Me BC means Plays all your PS1/PS2 games, lets just say all my PS1/PS2 games work, to me thats 100% BC.
