Seriously. I mean after watching the terrible news this week..  VF5 flopping, F1 Flopping, Europeans getting screwed over with the backwards compatiblity thing. I mean seriously!! Its starting to get quite ridicolous if you ask me, its as though sony is doing all this on purpose for some reason?! I dont know if they are just 'Self Destructing' or what, but come on sony! Adding insult to injury with the european launch. FIRST they charge the Europeans a fortune for the console then they say it wont be good with backwards compatiblity!!!  I really wanted sony to win this gen ill admit but im sorry, they are really giving it to us sony fans hard!!

You know what else is ridiculous? Posting numerous threads (most of which are about the same topic) in a short amount of time with titles in all caps.

It's like watching a slow moving cargo ship slowly sink into the ocean. On the one hand you feel kinda bad cause all that merchandise will be lost but at the same time...it sure looks cool to see it happen.

Or try www.Google.com

Sorry, this sadly isn't a rumor. Sony keeps sticking it to comsumers and some of them act like Kevin Bacon in Animal House..... "Thank you sir! May I have another?!" The rest of them stay far away from the PS3. Weird, but true.

people need to chill...most of the people complaining, dont even have or werent even planning on buying a PS3 so I dont see how any of this affects them. It seems like lemmings are getting worried, were as the sheep are content about their system doing well and therefore are not wasting their time bashing consoles the dont/will never have.

Can those sites be any more fanboyish? Sorry, but this doens't jive well.

Here is the thing though, why is it HORRIBLE news for Sony, yet the 360 can't do it even today (Well, about 25%?). I smell double standards everywhere.

I was seriously planning to buy a PS3 in 09-10, but with the rumor that this nerfed system will show up states side, I am seriously reconsidering. Hell I was only gonna buy it to play like 3-4 exclusives, but it may not even be worth it if I can't play some PS2 games I missed.

If you didn't get a PS2 for 7 years, then you weren't geting a PS3.

Your sig says "POS3, Wii60 FTW!" You have as much credibitily as teh fakeboy who wrote this thread, and hes a big fakeboy.

ANyways, this rumor isnt confirmed or denied, but as an Xbox owner, and a 360 owner, the 360's horrible bc didn't stop me from buying it. the patches were nice eventually, but even today, 80%+ games don't play in the 360, but thats okay.

Just because some games for a console got low ratings on Gamespot doesn't mean that the console will die. People buy games that they like. I don't even care about VF5 or F1, because those are not my type of games.

I'm not annoyed by it because of the BC stuff itself. It's not good, but it's tolerable. BC isn't that much of an issue in a next-gen console anyways, as nice as it is to have.

What annoys me about this news is what it says about Sony's attitude towards Europe. They're cutting the cost of the PS3 in Europe while releasing it at the same price, and giving European customers less features than their American and Japanese counterparts. And this is after they delayed Europe's console launch by six months. Why do they feel like they can shaft the European region and get away with it?

It's not starting to get ridiculous because its been ridiculous- from the time Sony announced they would make the Ps3 until right now! And they aren't "giving it hard to Sony fans", they just don't give a damn about them period!

Erm, what happens if F1 sells 8,000,000 copies? Would it still be considered a 'flop'? (I'm not suggesting it will sell like that lol.)

Sony can afford to screw people over. After all People will still buy PS3 even if there aren't any games for it.
