    No backwards compatibility? Could have seen it coming, again.

    So it seems that 2013 will be our next gen console release year.

    How much are screens with that resolution going to cost?

    Why should it be backwards compatible??? FFS, it's a new console, now they have to build in some crap to support old titles. Keep you PS3 if you want to play those games.

    It's like saying give us the latest best car, but it should still be able to drive on train tracks like we did three generations ago...

    Or wanting the latest best server and OS but still supporting PHP4...

    IF this is the case - with all this new PSFourbis talk - backwards compatibility would go a long way to negate the inevitable flurry of SUPER XTREME HD COLLECTIONS that will undoubtedly come around.

    If the PS3 was backwards compatible, all the current HD 'remasterings' would be redundant - at least for me. You could argue that buying the HD collections is a stupid thing to do in the first place, and indeed, through the mere act one encourages the trend - but hey, I like my old PS2 games.

    For some it will matter more than others.

    The fact is that a website targeting the PHP4 framework will still run on a PHP5.4 server platform.

    Should you have to recode the entire website just to run on a new server environment? That would be retarded.

    Backwards compatibility.
    Because some games are about the memories they made and the game-play.
    Why must I re purchase the game in a HD remake if the original is just as good.
