Which Company Has Ever Removed Features From Its Hardware/Console?

I can only think of one; $ony.

- Removed OtherOS
- Removed BC so they can charge their customers $40 to play games they already own in HD.

Microsoft removed the HD cables in the Elite model. Mine came with only the R/W/Y cords.

Pay for games you already own? I never owned a game from the sly cooper or Gow series.

Microsoft removed the whole "working" feature from like 1/3 of its launch XBox 360s...

:P

MS removed the headset, from my arcade, 360 fans told me all 360's came with head sets out of the box, when I got mine there was no head set. I was expecting a dirty play from them so I wasn't really suprised.

Removal of BC PS2 was to lower the cost of the PS3, and the Other OS function was to prevent piracy because of that fool geohot.

It's not like Sony removed them randomly.

Your lemming attempts are quite pitiful today i suppose :P

Everyone's going to vote Microsoft, sad. Removing a headset is not removing a feature. It's funny how defensive Sony fanboys are. Whenever you say anything about Sony, they get all butthurt and defensive LOL.

Did you even see the poll results?

Removing backwards compatibility for PS2 in PS3's really put me off buying the system.

MS actually did remove a feature from XBL, but I hate giving cows ammo.

Um, yes. People are voting Microsoft even though they never took away any features. Sony fanboys gett butthurt over everything.

I still have both of those features in one system, and neither in another system.

And alot of the fat PS3's get the YLOD as well. And also, I guess enough Xbox360's worked because they're not in last place.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="savagetwinkie"] thats not a feature, its an accessoryTehNubTuber

Did you buy the PS3 at launch when it was $600 and didn't even have a decent game? Now that's expensive.

MS has removed features from its console but at the same time has added some. Sony has not added any features but has removed more features than MS.

TC I think if you asked which console maker has removed the most features you would see better results.

[QUOTE="TehNubTuber"][QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"] Exactly, you can still purchase that separately and be completely fine. You cannot get any BC or other OS functionality within PS3s now; those are inherent features that were lost.1kryptic

They have the same amount of exclusives. And I'm not a fanboy to one console so I'm not "you guys" because I enjoy both Microsoft and Sony's products.

Nah, the 360 can scaramble an egg too.

But, the PS3 can grill steaks...

what would happen if i duck taped my PS2 to my PS3 would i have backwards compatability? :P

[QUOTE="vaderhater"]Sony has not added any features but has removed more features than MS.Slashkice

If you own a PS3, you would know they have added plenty of features. They just added some last week.

But what has Microsoft taken away? Sony took away BC, so what has Microsoft taken away?

True, my mistake.

It was still something I was really disappointed about, I don't understand why they removed that accessory.

Well, the RROD is virtually gone now, I'll admit alot of the launch 360's did get it. Alot of the fat PS3's get the YLOD.

I approve of this.

Although technically the working feature would be RROD itself, and the slim model may or may not have removed it. :lol:

But what has Microsoft taken away? Sony took away BC, so what has Microsoft taken away?

Well, they didn't have to take away BC compatibility and reduce the price of their console by half to get it to sell, just throwing that out their. And where'ed you get 1/3 from?
