How much does backwards compatabilty mean to you?

If Sony released a Haze & Lair bundle that came with a backwards compatible PS3 of 80 GB, would you buy it?

Or would you buy the Killzone & MGS4 80 GB bundle with no backwards compatability?

Let's pretend you don't have a PS3 at all and your PS2 is broken.

(Oh my God, three edits...)

You sly goose, you.

I'd buy the Haze & LAIR bundle so I wouldn't have to buy a PS2. I also plan on trying those two games.

I would buy the Haze and Lair bundle and then resell those horrible games. (Either that or burn them at the stake)Duckman5

Are they really that bad?

I'd absolutely buy the Haze and Lair bundle. I actually want to play those games. Also add in the fact BC is very important to me. I guess I wouldn't mind trying out MGS4, but I have no interest in KZ2 at all.

By trivial association of assumed "bad games"?

I wouldn't care about the games. You can easily get rid of those and put the money/credit towards a game you actually want. Bad games or not, if you don't want them, you don't want them. I wouldn't want Killzone 2 all the same.

It's about being smart Mr. Black. Loop holes my friend, loop holes....:lol:

You'd have to play them to see for yourself.

Oh, ok. I will. I'm really curious about LAIR, and Haze to an extent.

Hey, I'm just curious because I know how the general populous feels about Haze & Lair. Frankly, I don't mind either of the games, and I'd buy the Haze & Lair bundle hands down because of my vast PS2 library, but I didn't think that option would be this popular.

I figured too many people love KZ2 and MGS4 way too much to make a smart consumer decision.

...oops, did I say that?

In these terms, a better question would be..

Would you get a PS3 with B/C, and it was the exact amount of money you have to spend. But only be stuck playing demos and your PS2 games for a month (give or take)

Or wait (about the same amount of time) to save $30 more to get the MGS4 and KZ2 bundle?

Lair and Haze aren't sacrifices

I havn't played Lair but Haze is not a completely horrible game IMO. I think the nector buzz and the actions and speech of the troops are really misunderstood (if you've ever known someone to completely change personalities or be really cocky when drunk then you'll know what I'm talking about). 4 player co-op was pretty cool and online was better than some games with online tacked on IMO.

Don't really care about BC but I'd still choose the BC model just to have the better machine.

I never use it but i like to brag about it to those without it :P

I don't use BC at all, PS1/2 games look horrible on HDTV's

Even if I wanted it that badly, I would just get another PS2 and play it on my old TV

BC > No BC.

I returned the 40gig that was given to me after graduation in exchange for a 60gig with BC and MGSIV. lol.

I went with the Haze and Lair, I'd just sell them anyways.

I tried playing PS1/2 games back when I first got my PS3 back in June 07, haven't tried them since

All I remember is them looking for better on standard definition tv's

I'd get the Kz2 MGS4, for the sole reason that I never play my PS2 games anymore. I may as well buy my system with 2 games that I'll enjoy (well, kind of(KZ2)). If my Ps3 were to break again I would have no problem buying an 80Gb or one that doesn't have BC. I still have my PS2 in my room and it works perfectly (it did when I turned it on back in November, hasn't been on since)

I really liek my Tony Hawk games, and my bro has the PS2 right now. And I would be able to finally play four player on my games I'd never been able to before.

I would take the Lair bundle with BC for my Metal Gerar Solid Essential Collection, I don't play any other PS2 games on my PS3.

Sorry, when you hardware BC, it's running off PS2 hardware. So there is no difference. People that would rather get bad games and play old games instead of good new ones. Nice to know the mentality in the forums. No BC? Keep your old system to play your old stuff if you want. Obviously new games "aren't good enough" for you.....lmao.

I'd get the bc one even though haze and lair are inferior

It means nothing to me, I have no desire to have backwards compatiability which is ironic considering I have a launch PS3. But I don't plan on playing any PS1 or PS2 games, ever.

i'd get the KZ2-MGS4 bundle. with those games,i can get by without a ps2 for months at least.

BC is everything to me. I currently have a 60GB, but if it broke, I wouldnt buy a new PS3 without BC. I love all my PS2 RPGs, and while I do not play them often anymore, I like having the option on my PS3. I sold my PS2 a long time ago, and like not having the clutter of another system in my setup. Also, I am a big fan of PS3 wireless controllers. Sure you can get some for the PS2, but they are not the same....

In regards to the packed in games in the question, I have seen MGS4 cheaper lately at stores like GameStop, so even if I hated Haze and all, I would not base that decision on the games. There is plenty to play, and wait for the good games to get cheap in the meantime. As someone else on here said, it is easier to buy the games later. If you buy a non-BC system, you cant upgrade it later...

Thats why I still have my ps2 working fine...

Oh. Then I probably won't mind the game. I'm used to being around drunk a-holes.

Definitely the Haze and Lair BC model. I have 2 80 gb MGS4 bundles. I love playing PS2 games which I never had a chance to play since I just got back into video games since being on hiatus since Sega Genesis days. I guess dating a beautiful early 20's year old girl(as she recommended I get a system)can do it. Funny think I love the games more than her now(at least they don't talk back to me).LOL.

I won't care about what game they give me.. I JUST WANT BC XD!!!!

I'd take Backwards compatibility over pretty much anything, even if it wasn't bundled with any games.
