Sony Responds to PS3 Backwards-Compatibility Critics

Published by

As you may recall, Sony got a few people excited last Friday after they announced that European PS3s would no longer be sporting an Emotion engine chip -- aka, "the thing that lets you play older games on your PS3".
The community response (predictably) hovered somewhere in-between stunned incredulity and outright fury. You pay $600 for a console, you kind of expect it's going to handle your back catalogue.
Well, it's taken a few days for an 'official' response to make its way down from Sony on the Mountaintop, but lo, such a thing comes to you via Sony's "unofficial" threespeech blog. ....... ExtremeTech
