Let me guess, one of the biggest hints is that you can turn 360 degrees? OMG MEGATON!! View

Of course it will be announced for the 360. Just like the FFVII remake for the PS3. Oh and Halo 3.

Okay, seriously everyone, can we put these things aside until there are announcements? View

"Selfish and irresponsible"? Sounds like little kids fighting over something. View

Just the bigger HDD.
Tretton said in an interview that BC will be phased out because "they decided to".
Here are hopes they will reintroduce PS2 BC as soon as the PS2 sales decline. But don't count on it. View

RIP Kasumi, Hitomi and all the other bouncy breasts... you will be missed. View

No Kareem, in Europe it isn't. Only the US has a BC SKU. One would think after all the news, people would know by now. View

Seconded and signed. PS2 was THE home of RPGs, let's hope they can claim that spot again this generation. View

Read people, don't just look at the pretty pictures.

NO PS2 BC

NO PS2 BC

NO PS2 BC

NO PS2 BC

Everybody got it now? View

You can't read, can you? This is basically the same as the 40GB SKU, except for a bigger HDD. It still lacks the features the old SKU did. View

Exactly what I wrote yesterday... Somebody should go and slap those fools at SCEE. Hard.
They announced the PS3 would have BC and now they don't even sell those. That's ass. View

Damn right would be to release a PS2 BC version here AGAIN after they DISCONTINUED it.
Just glad I got my 60GB when it launched. View

Apparently yes, but that doesn't help me at all, since im living in Germany a.k.a. the country in Europe that sucks the most. View

True enough, but try to use logic on 600.000 360 owners (yes I actually looked up that number in Wikipedia) that won't get a game they want so hard.
If SE really wants to mess with them, they make the US and EU versions for the 360 region locked... View

This conference was the biggest "F' YOU!" to the "hardcore" crowd I could have ever imagined.
I owned every Nintendo console, the NES, the SNES, the N64 and I even endured the GameCube. What do these have in common with each other? It was about the games, games that would mark themselves as milestones of gaming history. Super Mario Bros., Zelda, Metroid - those are the games that made Nintendo what it is today, that revived the almost dead gaming market back then.
I understand their crusade for the "casual" market, it is probably the biggest market and therefor means sh'tloads of money. But I want to quote my father, who himself is not a passionate gamer, but he still enjoys them from time to time: "Isn't there a new Mario game for the DS?"
Super Mario 64 DS - a rehash, a good game, but not original. Basically, a benchmark to show the hardware (i.e. upgraded portable N64).
NEW Super Mario Bros. - based on the NES original. Good game, but it lacks a successor.

Remember back to the NES: 3 SMB games.
Remember back to the SNES: SMW and SMW2
How many Mario titles did the consoles after that have? SM64 and SMS.
I pray the Wii will have more Mario titles than just SMG (which I personally didn't like).
We didn't even have a new Zelda game on the Wii (TP is a GC port)...

What does Nintendo focus on? Brain Age. Cooking Navi. Wii Series. They churn out new IP after new IP, alienating the DS from what it was originally thought to be - a GAMING handheld. Same with the Wii (Wii Fit? How does that qualify as a game?)
Yeah, the Zelda and Mario guys are hard at work as Miyamoto said - but I hope they actually work on games and not on "Wii Clean The House".

Nintendo, thanks for all the wonderful years and the magnificient games, but you are losing me, more and more day by day. View

No plans for a "complete" (cardreaders, 4x USB, PS2 BC) PS3 for anywhere but the US... Come on Sony, I know a lot of people that don't buy the 40GB (soon 80GB?) stripped version just because it doesn't offer all the things it COULD.
Should my 60GB (bought on EU launch) ever break, you better not try to give me one of those "half-assed" ones (you guys know what I mean) in return... View

Exactly.
Why can't people that send in news read?
Arsenic: This SKU won't have PS2 BC. View

Somehow, whenever I read Valve and EA in one sentence, I have this taste of puke in my mouth. I wonder why... View

Betrayal...
SE is a business, first and most of all. Besides, I invite everyone to look up the sales figures for Final Fantasy XII. Where did it sell the most copies?
In Japan. More than DOUBLE the amount of copies than in Europe. FF is a giant cult in Japan.
Who sells it exclusively in Japan? Sony.
Who got a nice boost to fund more games? SE.
Who has got a title that not only is time exclusive (as far as said yet) for the enemys console, but for the two territories that just sell a handful more than Japan alone? MSFT.
Whose console is known for a lively piracy base? MSFTs.

Doesn't look THAT bad to me.
In before: butthurt droid, sony fanboy, damage reduction. View

Exactly my thought. Somebody should tell them before they can't return them. View

"Well MGS 2 was done for the original xbox so don't be surprised if it happens."

Gotta love that "argument". Where has MGS3 been, then?
Anyway, I have faith in Kojima's words. Besides, seeing an Apple sponsored game on a MSFT console is something I can't imagine. View
