The PS3 has a processor change and what did they do?


They are also putting a ps2 processor inside the ps3 just for backward compatibility, that is something MS could not legally do

lol playin Halo 2 on my 360 on my 52inch tv with 7.1 surround sound sount is the best!

(i hope i can get this 72In 1080P tv soon OMGWTFH4X!!!11

haha I was just reading the compatibility list, the majority of the games are games nobody would ever play. Why do they prioritize shamoo's hoop jumping over games that actually sold?

I use it mostly for Halo 2, though I bought pre-owned copies of Chaos Theory for lan play, and GTA Vice City cos it rocks (San andreas sucks). No im not racist, but the game is way too black.

IIRC, the explanation for that is that some games are very similar in how they use the X1, so one profile may work for several games.

But here's why BC matters for me. My stereo only has one set of component video and digital audio inputs, which means my X1 is now back to standard def and 2-channel stereo. I also hoped this would be an opportunity to take the X1 and turn it into a media server. But the X1 games still have some life left in them, and as long as they still get play, I'm stuck with the current setup.

The BC is all about Fuzion Frenzy, and Super Monkey Ball Deluxe!

Fuzion Frenzy is so much fun, and the minigames in Monkey Ball are almost as good.
Playing them on the Xbox leaves you with a tangled mess though. As soon as one person cheers or "readjusts" one of the breakaway connectors pops out. Quite the annoyance.

Just use it for Halo, Halo 2, Burnout 3 (yay! it got added!) and Forza. I'd much rather play 360 games though so BC isn't a big issue for me.

That would have to be the case.. Though playing the new games is kinda worth it with the gamer score. If it was not for that I think I would cancel the game fly account..

I would love to have my 2d fighters up and running but it doesn't look too promising. Not one 2d fighter that supports online play has made the leap. Don't see it happening either unfortunately. Luckily I still have the first xbox I guess.

Nice poll

Backwards or even DVD playback compatability was never a requirement or a selling point for any console up until Sony coaxed people into thinking otherwise with the PS2. Did people really buy a new PS2 just to play old games or watch movies?...no, but it's a convenient selling point to cover up the fact that the launch titles were not all that great.

Very true.

i love the backwards to play my xbox games

I like to play some of my "old school" favorites. Great Option
