original xbox new model

[RadarScope1]

You know, they need to just bite the bullet and code those last few Xbox games everyone wants. I know they have the Xbox Originals now for sale digitally but c'mon. They've already got most of the games on BC and it's not like Otogi and most of the others are going to end up on the marketplace for 15 bucks anytime soon. They need to do one more push with a future update and say they're done with BC because everything worth playing's been patched.

Not having peripherals compatible with BC consoles is a non-point.

Where can I plug my SNES controllers or NES Zapper in my Wii? Where can I plug my bemani controllers into my PS3? That argument is weak.

You don't buy a console specifically for it's backwards compatibility. That's just idiotic. It's just an extra feature. So what if a few games don't work with it. It's leagues ahead of the PS3's PS2 backwards compatibility, which is zero if you don't count the overpriced 60GB version second hand. Oh and for the record. We never got the backwards compatible 80GB version either and the 60GB version over here is software backwards compatible.

I think it's slightly more impressive when you look at the backwards compatibility of the 360. It shares 0 hardware with it's predecessor and does all the emulation in software. If the PS3 is so powerful why the fuck can't it do software backwards compatibility on every PS3?

Besides you can't really hold niche products against backwards compatibility. So few people have that game AND the controller that it just doesn't matter that it isn't compatible. If you can afford the controller then surely you can afford the extra 40 for a console to play it on. It's like saying the backwards compatibility on the PS2 is shit because it doesn't play that one Barbie game that nobody even gives a flying fuck about.

Niode, you missed the entire point of my post. I was simply saying that the Xbox was much different than the 360. Also, I said that Xbox games don't feel the same on 360 as some have glitches and othr issues. And there are many games I personally like such as Otogi and Strangers Wrath that aren't emulated on 360. Some games have screen scaling issues such as Fatal Frame. Steel Battalion was the least of my worries when it comes to BC on the 360. Its a different machine and therefore can't do all the things a Xbox can do. Thats all I was saying. I didn't say 360 sucked because of BC and emulation issues I like you indicated. And no one said anything about Barbie. Your arguement is with yourself. I was simply stating facts.

it's funny you say that, because I feel like I won't spend such big $ on a PS3 UNLESS Sony brings back the PS2 BC.

The point of your post was clear and obvious to anyone who isn't desperate for an opportunity to try and fulfill themselves by attempting to demean other members. These people are just better off ignored, which is easy since they are painfully predictable and can be spotted from over seas.

Reasons why I obtained another big black box in addition to my 360:

-Midway arcade treasures series
-Metal Slug 3 (the only one state-side with blood that I know of)
-6 button street fighter pads

There is no doubt that more reasons will arise as I discover them

I have over 200 PS2 games and its my favorite system. So buying a 60GB PS3 for its upscaling and smoothing PS2 BC features would be idiotic? People buy systems for different reasons. I bought a PS2 back in 2002 over a Xbox and GC because of 1 reason, my PS1 collection. Not to mention the fact that PS1 games looked better on a PS2 than PS1. At the the time the library for the PS2 was weak. Along with your present arguement.

[Niode]

No what I'm saying is that it's stupid buying a new console JUST for backwards compatibility. You might as well stick to the original machine. That was my argument.

I have to agree with you. You tend to buy a console, and build a library, and then want to upgrade rather than start over.

[Niode]

Meh, I don't get rid of my old consoles. So the whole upgrading because of backwards compatibility seems very strange to me. Since I would just have the original console to play my collection on anyway.

I have several retro systems at home, and obviously I'm a forum member here, but BC is still pretty big for me. I just can't keep collecting EVERYTHING Katamari-style for the rest of my life. Being able to play PS1 and PS2 games with an actual Sony DualShock on the PS3 is a good thing for me. I understand why 100-percent isn't always possible but if they can get close, they should try.
