er, i am buying new functionality. PS2 offers new functions. i'm sure PS3 will too (AA?). and that stuff's fun. what about if my current console breaks? and if not, i can donate my system to a poor blind kid whose parents won't buy him video games.
"if i buy this, my current library will be enhanced and prolonged."
i never claimed to be thrifty overall. of course i have a PS2. i waited in line for 7 hours at launch. but it's thriftIER to get the backwards compatible one.
you aren't gonna buy a PS3 the day it comes out?
how'd you even find slashdot?
seriously. rationale is already thrown out the window in my case, at least i'm trying to be thrifty by buying the backwards compatible one.
you bought a PS3...
i don't understand the question.
if PS3 and Xbox 2 come out the same day with the same specs, but i could play 2 generations worth of game library, including the newest PS2 game i bought last month, with potential better graphics and speed on the PS3, i would be swayed.
and i would be entertained while i built up my new library, along with knowing the games i purchased would be around for a while.
it may be a minor advantage based on your own preferences, but it's a clear one.
ehm, well, FFXI requires it. and there are already games mentioned with downloadable content coming out. and with a 40 gig HD i'm sure Sony has some plans.
and as an interesting piece of trivia, when the PS2 was first being rumored about, people thought it would go by PlayStation Next. MS loves hitting these trends a couple of years late.
wtf? using X to denote something as "cool" is so mid-90s.
But think about the transition phase. When PS3 first comes out and you already have 50 games you can play on it, not to mention the few good games that will still be released for PS2 while it dies out.
Or you can buy Xbox 2 and only turn it on for Halo 3 for six months.
1) I PL my subjobs all the time. And I also think it'll be difficult for PS2 users to bot, which is good news. It would be impossible to run a seperate program while running the game.
4) I beta tested FFXI for PS2 and it had a name generator built in. Can't remember if the PC version does but you didn't mention it...
I desperately encourage this to be used.
5) Hey, that's how economy works. If people want something bad enough to pay whatever you're asking for it, then the demand is obviously that high. If it took you an amount of work to get said item, then you deserve to get whatever someone will pay for it. At the same time, newbs aren't gonna have 100k gil when they start. If you want to make money, you have to price for what they can actually pay. A truly "outrageous price" won't sell, so there's really no problem with it.
Strong economies aren't built on "morals".
There are some other bias opinion-based rules in this piece, but I think they identify themselves, and people should be able to make their own decisions.
Possibly the same way they achieved it for the PS2. No aspect of the idea sounds difficult.
PS3 has been guaranteed to have backwards compatibility with PSOne and PS2 by Sony. They feel this is a major issue for customers. It is to me. I love knowing I'll always have a system to play my current PS games, possibly with graphical and load time advantages (as the current situation).
Microsoft isn't sure about backwards compatibility, since a lot of their games use proprietary nVidia technology, and since nVidia has wisely jumped that sinking ship. The main factor in the decision though being whatever Sony does with PS3. How embarrassing to be gripped so firmly by the testes.
Nintendo hasn't done it before (except with Gameboys) but I don't see a reason not to start for them. They do have a tendancy to change media with each console though.

does your band support reparations or something?
How it will achieve this is unknown?
