Sony Fixes Back Compat Issues in PS3 Update

pl1ght writes in to say that that the much maligned PS2 back-compat issues the PS3 has been experiencing are now a thing of the past. The newest software update takes the OS from version 1.4 to 1.5, and in doing so seems to have cleared up the worst of the blurry and unreadability problems. There are apparently "still problems with specific releases that have yet to be addressed, but for the most part, your library of old releases should run no problem now -- and with higher clarity than was ever possible on the other machines, to boot." Nicely done, Sony.

PS3?

What's the PS3 thing everybody is talking about?

Oh right, it's the new Sony gameconsole that is still not available in Europe (and a shit load of other countries).

Hell just froze over

Zonk said something nice about Sony. And damnnit, I was looking forward to the warm weather.

Let's put it another way:

(On the backwards compatibility front)
MS promised next to nothing. MS delivered next to nothing.

Sony promised everything, and delivered slightly shy of that. And has since fulfilled their promise.

So because MS promised next to nothing and followed through, they're better than Sony that promised, and eventually (In fairly short order IMHO) delivered, as much as you could possibly expect.

Really, come on now. That is simply pathetic to try to slag Sony because MS followed through on a promise of nothing.

The ONLY argument that should be brought up in relationship to this topic is which system delivers more bang for your buck in the backwards compatibility department. Hands down, Sony wins. Period.

But nice try at polishing a turd there ;)
