Well, they have to stop losing hundreds of millions of dollars somehow =P

Backwards compatibility was a huge thing for the PS2, surprised they're doing this. We know that it's 'cause they want to save costs, but won't this hurt them more? I would think so...

Zeus, you are speaking as if Europeans are actually interested in the PS3. It's getting more negative press than anything since the cold war =P

Yeah, 'cause the press' opinion is always indicative of the masses....

The PS2 was the only real game in town in Europe. They're not gonna just let the PS3 come and go with no interest.

[Julius Seeker]

Just like Japan and North America have so embraced the PS3 =P

Stop playing devils advocate, I know you are not that stupid =P

I'd love to embrace a PS3, but I liken her to one of of those high-class girls at a party who won't even talk to you unless you own a Maserati.
