PS3 can't do backwards compatibility well.

Blu-ray is gonna be iffy I think. It may kick off, or it could die. It really depends. I think that Sony won't go bankrupt. I do agree, it'll drop once game sales increase, however, this could be awhile. Hopefully the profit that they make from games will help Sony. You know what? That video, if true, is a good thing. At least then no one can say it ain't back compatible

The problem with blu-ray is that is is far too expensive to buy a player and the movie itself, not to mention a TV capable of displaying the improved quality, to be viable for a while. People are going so far as to buy a PS3 instead of a Blu-Ray player because it is cheaper, not because they want games.

For storage purposes, blu-ray is great, but the price behind it is just too big to hold it up. The reason you're seeing more and more blu-ray stuff is because a bunch of big-name companies got together, standardized blu-ray, and then set a date for them to release their players at once. That date has passed, and wahbam.

About the emulation problem, a good ammount don't even notice the difference. It is true that the colours are duller or darker, but that's with nearly every virtual console. Also, this "bug" seems to be TV-specific aswell.

EDIT:

It's funny you say that because I have down my own experiment. I have tested most of my games on my PS3. The games that I have that work like they do on PS2 are as follows: Burnout Revenge, Justice League Heroes, God of War, the Prince of Persia series, the Grand Theft Auto series, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Resident Evil . All these games work fine.

They should have just thrown out backwards compatibility all together, most people who are getting PS3's already have a PS2. That and they probably could have trimmed $100 bucks off the final price.


Yeah, Solid Gamecube Compatibility rocks.

I'd rather have a game of Tetris than a hamburger.

1080p TV screens work best for Blu-Ray.

EDIT: BTW, my PS2 games look normal on PS3. So that guy can go suck off.

Odd, the only company I see doing it is Sony.

Sony Films releases Blu-ray discs, and I think they are about the only one.

One company is going to have a hard time trying to get people to ditch DVD players. I mean, look how long it took for people to switch from VHS to DVD, there are still people who haven't. I honestly think it was waaay to early to introduce blu-ray, and blatantly, suicidal.

In my opinion, Blu-Ray will be known as our generations Betamax.
