Does it really matter? Get a PS2 if you haven't already if you really want to play PS2 games that badly.

The line there is just to grab your attention and you know what? It did.

But it doesn't do everything, especially when you compare it to previous PS3 models. It's false advertising.

I really dont understand peoples obsession with BC. Seriously does everyone just throw all their systems away when the new ones come out? if you throw those out then why on earth are you keeping the games for it if you know full well the next system your buying cant play them???

I see no real problem with the fact the system doesn't do every thing promised at launch Its common course for sony.

Bring out a system and promise it will do every thing, then slowly over time remove ever extra functionality out of it till its just a game machine again.

They did it with ps1, they did it with ps2....Im not suprised they are doing it with ps3...next up on removal is the wireless functions.

Then take it up with Sony if it bothers you so much. B******* and moaning about it wont do a thing.

And the PS3 has its name for a reason, its a totally different console to the PS2, in fact, it isn't a PS2 which means it doesn't have to play its games.

Whenever contradicting views pop up, someone always has to say something like this; but the question is, are you observing the SAME people doing it? Because I'm not the same person as PS3 owner "X" over there.

It doesn't do everything,

It can't rob a bank.

It can't hug you when you're down.

It can't laugh at you when your back is turned.

It can't have knife fights.

It can't play the banjo.

It can't win the Superbowl.

Etc.

It's false advertising really :P

I'm not saying it should be able to do the impossible. But I am saying that if they're going to advertise with that kind of catch phrase, the system better be able to do AT LEAST what previous models could do.

Ehh system wars... All you cows saying that its no big deal that PS3 doesnt have BC anymore, but if it was the 360 without BC and if the PS3 had it, it would be one of your main arguments, besides RROD of course.

1.False advertising is advertising something that is knowingly false. 2.The pc version didn't come out till later there were no plans for it when that game was released.

You completely missed the point of my post.

And FYI, Microsoft making an ad saying "The Choice Is Easy" would also be false advertising by your logic (which isn't entirely correct). The choice is far from easy, not to mention it is entirely subjective.
