    Kinda of. I agree the majority of PS1 games are "warp hell", but go play Crash Bandicoot (1,2,3, CTR), Wipeout (XL,3), Ridge Racer Type 4, Tobal (1,2),...

    There's a big difference between the low and high resolution games on PS1. Those games i listed still look and play great today.

    As for the PS2, yes, Mega Jaggy City (actually i loved this expression :lol: ), but again lots of games stand out: MGS 2, MGS 3, GoW, SoTC, GT4, Tourist Trophy, Kingdom Hearts (1,2), and many, many others.

    PS3: Going retail for 600$, all hype with Blu-ray, 1080p,... and still looking like a PC game withouth anti-aliasing? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And honestly RR7 and Resistence are the only decent games (no AAA or amazing games).

    For me? PS3 + GTHD (or GT5...) . See you in 2 or 3 years

    Now this is just nasty:

    I think some Dreamcast games look better than that...


    And BTW, sony decided to put another crappy propietary ribbon cable on the PS3s BR drive, so prepare for massive disk failures like in the PS2.

    BTW, does the PS3 use a normal HDD? or one of those laptop 2.5 ones?

    IGN talks more about the backwards compatibility problems:

    Sony Comments on Backwards Compatibility
    Some people don't need sound when playing games.
    by Anoop Gantayat

    November 13, 2006 - Yesterday, we shared with you a quickly compiled list of PS2 titles that were, according to a database accessible at the official Japanese PlayStation.com site, causing problems when being played on the PlayStation 3. We only looked for the biggest games and found a list that wasn't too long. But the full list of problematic titles is apparently quite hefty.

    Japan's Cnet.com reports backwards compatibility problems for over 196 PlayStation 2 titles. This figure counts multiple versions of the same game (budget versions, limited editions, etc.) as a single entity and includes the full range of problems, from simple sound issues to more dramatic freezing issues.

    In response to these issues, Sony's PR department pointed out that it, from the start, expected backwards compatibility to be less than 100%. It was also good enough to point out that some people can put up with playing games that lack sound.

    Regardless of this somewhat arrogant response, an official statement issued at the PlayStation.com site states that Sony will fix the problems with a future system update, and may even resort to individual patches for certain titles. When this will happen has yet to be specified.

    But PS2 had many popular titles people want to play on their PS2. Who really wants to play any Xbox titles on their Xbox 360? I mean Halo 2 and some of the other popular ones work. I can't say it's a big loss that some of the games don't work. But for Playstation, the biggest thing for many people was that the PS2 was backwards compatible. So PS3 needs to play those PS1 and PS2 games, and needs to play them well.

    Personally I hope Sony goes down in flames. That saves me money. ;)
