Comment Re:So? The games suck anyway (Score 1) 221

I agree with you on the OtherOS feature, but it's disingenuous to complain about the loss of backwards compatibility in PS3 redesigns. Every console that has been redesigned lost features.

The Wii lost GameCube compatibility and the Xbox 360 lost both memory cards and compatibility with older hard drives.

The GameCube lost component video output and the PlayStation 2 lost the hard drive bay.

The list keeps going. Off the top of my head, the only ones that seems to make additions over time seems to be Microsoft, which added HDMI output before things started getting cut. For all other hardware manufacturers, being an early adopter means getting the most-capable hardware.

It's the retroactive removal of features from customers who had already spent their money that should be damned.
