wrong place but anyways
I don't play em too much but PS3 has lied to the public by saying it's backwards compatable hasen't it. It's common knowladge now that Blue-Ray fondation and HD-DVD corps have failed at making their hybred format. Doesn't that mean PS3's Blue Ray player will not support the DVD format at all making PS2 games not playable?
Another thing that scares me about the PS3 and Blue-Ray is it's 1x read speed. While HD-DVD is promising 16x if I am not mistaken. That will make loading times VERY BAD on high definition technology right? The Xbox will no doubt have faster loading times even if it has worse hardware (not sure on that fact) due to the media format.
Regardless both the PS3 and Xbox360 will offer High definition which is good if they can get lots of nice high quality onto the disc with a reasonable speed. Revolution will not offer high deffinition but is offering "free" downloads to NES classics with a "uncomfirmed promise" that the games will get a minor graphic face lift. This is not enough to buy a modern machine.
