I still really enjoy the Dreamcast and for such a short-lived console it had such an amazing library of games. Truly impressive.

I remember when games like Dead or Alive 2 and LeMans 24 Hour Racing (which STILL looks amazing to this day) came out and silenced everyone who said that the system "couldnt handle them" - I believe the Dreamcast had a while to go before it's full graphical potential couldve been reached, but we'll never know.

Sega was always at the forefront of online console gaming.

:roll:

Where is one to begin...

Oh my GOD, this is almost as exciting as if Phantasy Star V had just been announced.

The large, open spaces in the game are crying out for next-gen visuals, so I agree with previous sentiments that this really SHOULD NOT be on Wii.

[QUOTE="Supernova_86"]BC is not too important because after all, who DOESN'T own a PS2 already? The PS2 has been out for 7 years and is incredibly cheap. If you did not have a PS2 after 7 years, you probably don't care about BC on the PS3 either.AKuMA_G0

I don't have a PS2 and there are some games I'd love to play on it without having to buy a PS2 and PS3 :roll:

You can get the 80gb PS3 then, since that has PS2 compatibility and even upscales the games. Only the 40gb lacks the BC. If you are more interested in PS2 and don't really care about PS3, then get a PS2 by itself because its heaps cheaper.

PS3 40GB is $699.00 here... 60GB (our only other model) is $1000.00, both come stand alone, without games, without remote, one control, etc...

I can afford it but why should I have to pay that price for something that's going to sit on a shelf ? Just another thing to dust as far as I'm concerned.

Like PH said, Sony wants to focus on consumers buying more PS3 games hence no BC.

What games ? The mythical games that live in the year 2008 ? Right...

I live in Australia.

The 60gb is also BC with PS2 games. I am from Australia, and I will get a PS3 once FF13 comes out on it. I will get the most expensive PS3 edition, which may hopefully be an 80gb if its released here.

Yep, I agree with you. I will probably pick up a PS3 (60GB) when there is something worth playing on it - in Sony's case it's Final Fantasy.
