competition is always better for the consumer.
If there was a winner declared and one console then they would get lazy and probably charge stupid amounts for the console, games and peripherals.
like they already do lol
think how bad it would be if there was only playstation (for example)

I have a PS3 that can easily do those functions but does not. Why would i want to be limited with memory cards and have to buy new ones when my PS3 has close to unlimited memory cards via the hard drive, why would i want to go back to a corded controller when my PS3 has wireless controllers, why would i need two consoles out cluttering up space when i should only have the one.We live in an age now where one device can do multiple functions.
Adding to this the picture would be a lot better on the PS3 than it would be on a PS2. And my tv does not have a scart port in the back only HDMI ports. Last time i checked the PS2 doesn’t have HDMI.
So what am i supposed to do now? Cant use a PS2 on my HDTV my PS3 which runs on hdmi should support the PS2 games but it doesn’t.
Again this is a legitimate complaint, you say go buy a PS2 when i already have one but why should i go backwards when my PS3 is more advanced and can very easily handle PS2 games? It plays PS1 games which is two generations older than the PS2 but yet it wont Play newer PS2 games?
Explain how there are PS2 games on PSN that run on any PS3 and the data being run of the hard disc but put a Playstation 2 disc in there the exact same game you already bought and it doesn’t run?
And by the way jackdabomb in his YouTube video is 100% bang on the ball. If having PS2 backwards compatibility doesn’t affect you or would cost you anything why be against it?.
No if you actually read what i wrote it was that the amount of consoles were reduced due to muppets game sharing.
How from that do you get i'm calling crusty a muppet.
As far as tv with no scart socket i find that a little hard to believe as every tv i have seen has at least 1 scart socket or av sockets which a ps2 will plug into when you take the little scart adapter off.
With ps2 games on the store it's more likely that the drive was altered so it can't read ps2 games.
As the fact the ps3 doesn't play ps2 disks get over it or if your that bothered get yourself a 60gig chill & have a coke & be happy.

I have a PS3 that can easily do those functions but does notI can't easily as that function is not their. Why would i want to be limited with memory cards and have to buy new ones when my PS3 has close to unlimited memory cards You can back up your memory card to PC or PS3 if you have the right add on via the hard drive, why would i want to go back to a corded controller when my PS3 has wireless controllers,dose the same job why would i need two consoles out cluttering up space when i should only have the one.We live in an age now where one device can do multiple functions. I agree but no the PS3 won't play ps2 games any more
Adding to this the picture would be a lot better on the PS3 than it would be on a PS2. And my tv does not have a scart port in the back only HDMI ports. Last time i checked the PS2 doesn’t have HDMI. No but you can get and use composite HD cables and use them
So what am i supposed to do now? Cant use a PS2 on my HDTV you can with the right leads http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/200703483636?var=lv
<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla my PS3 which runs on hdmi should support the PS2 games but it doesn’t.

It plays PS1 games which is two generations older than the PS2 but yet it wont Play newer PS2 games?you have been told why sony removed it
Explain how there are PS2 games on PSN that run on any PS3 and the data being run of the hard disc but put a Playstation 2 disc in there the exact same game you already bought and it doesn’t run?Those games have indervidule emulators designed for each game to get them to work (read the description it tells you)
And by the way jackdabomb in his YouTube video is 100% bang on the ball. If having PS2 backwards compatibility doesn’t affect you or would cost you anything why be against it?.I do want it but it not going to happen
