Kingdom Hearts II Is it true...

Shouldn't you be *facepalm*-ing at Sony as well?

Xbox 360 is compatible with about 400 of the 900 Xbox games, because unfortunately the 360 uses Software Emulation for Backwards Compatibility

Sony sacrificed Hardware Backwards Compatibility after the initial 20GB/60GB launch stock in order to lower the cost of the PS3, so the PS3 uses the same Software Backwards Computability the 360 does for any PS3 model past that point

"1,700 of the 2,500 PS2 games will work on the PlayStation 3" is Sony's statement on the PS3's BC, so 30% of PS2 games won't work on the PS3. now, 1,700 is by no means a small number, as I said that's 70%, but to *facepalm* at the 360's expense for the Software BC, when Sony is doing the same thing? Not to mention the release of the 40GB Model which completely removes PS2 BC?

 

You can't really give a Youtube video as a valid argument. Firstly, Youtube is horrible on quality on it's own. You can spend hours making a video with gorgeous HD footage. Upload it to Youtube and you might as well have put it through a meat grinder.

Nope. 360 can only play 360 games. It's Microsoft. They've never been logical in anything.

 

*Choo-choo*

Oh look! The Not-know-what-you're-talking-about Express just rolled into the Station, all aboard! You have your train ticket, right?

 

i was actually told by a friend who has a ps3...

 

Your friend is wrong. <.<; He probably tried a game that wasn't compatible with the PS3. I've yet to buy a game that hasn't been incompatible yet, although I own one of the original 60GB models. Does your friend own one of the newer models?

 

Soush, 40GB PS3's have no PS2 backwards compatibility, which is probably what he was talking about. And yeah, if you have the original 20GB/60GB launch PS3s with the Emotion Chip, then you're lucky as hell and I doubt you'd encounter any problems, as you said they have like 98% sucess. But, they phased them out in July and now everything is Software BC, which increases your chances of running into a problem

 

I'm aware of that. That's why I'm inquiring which model it was. It's incorrect to simply say 'PS3 can't play PS2 games'; that's why I criticized the comment.

 

And you think Microsoft releasing it's latest OS was logical? The one that isn't compatible with largely anything and takes up a ridiculous amount of RAM and Hard Drive space just to function and look pretty?



Now let's keep the thread on topic.

 

Well, the main point of my post would be that you seem to be unaware that the 360 has roughly 50% backwards compatibility with the original Xbox, evident by you saying "The 360 can only play 360 games", which is entirely false.

Hence: *Choo-choo*

Secondly, XP wasn't compatible with anything when it first launched, just like Vista, and everyone hated it. What happened? Service Packs fixed the problems and it worked out fine. Vista will be better when the Service Packs release and everyone will get over it

Vista has larger requirements to run? Sure, but guess what that does? It makes -that- hardware the industry standard. If every computer comes with Vista, then every computer from this point forward has to have the hardware specs to meet Vista's requirements, thus raising the bar for standard computer hardware, and thus making that hardware cheaper to purchase. Vista is, in a sense, advancing the general consumer computer hardware market

 

I think it may make the graphics shaper and more clear but I don't think it could do anything else playing KH2 on a PS3

 

The PS3 makes it look like a SNES game.

 

heh, now that's an exaggeration xD

It's not like the Ps3 ruins it, I just don't rly notice that much of a vast difference, and wouldn't exactly call it "making the graphics better" =P
