[QUOTE="reanjr, post: 2948161, member: 20740"] Sorry, you are correct. I got the info from bundles that are being presold at that price. A feature (not a tech spec) that no one else has. Perhaps you are not familiar with the technical aspect of backwards compatibility. The reason PS2 could play all PS1 games is because they included a PS1 processor in the system. And some games ran slower on PS2 than PS1 anyway. Sony has strongly hinted that a PS2 processor will not be included in the PS3, so they're going to be playing the same game MS is. I have not heard Sony say that they will have 100% back catalogue on launch, so I don't expect them to. The Barbie Adventure thing is due to the fact that MS emulates instructions, not games. When all of the instructions necessary for a game have been emulated, the game is emulated. Barbie likely does nothing fancy and so is automatically emulated when other games were. MS's catalogues of converted games is getting bigger all the time, each update providing more games than the previous. Who knows, by the time PS3 comes out, 360 might have full XBox support. Not quite sure of what failed in these ports. I know people who own both of them. GameSpot rates MGS1 for GCN an 8.2, MGS2 for XB and 8.7. In both cases, their only complaint is it's only slightly better than the PSx versions and that Konami is not too experienced developing for XBox. I have not heard Konami indicate that it WILL NOT come out on XBox. MGS3: Subsistance just came out in March, so I wouldn't discount an XBox version out of hand. If you have a link indicating that it is NOT coming, I'd like to read it. As to exclusivity, nowadays that rarely means exclusivity in perpetuity. Just that the game will launch on one platform and can come to others later. [/QUOTE]
