It would seem so, or at least journalists think it’s important. There’s no doubt it is an issue, as Sony promoted it as one of the PS3’s features, in an attempt to show-up the Xbox 360’s poor compatibility with original Xbox titles, although that has been rectified somewhat as time has gone on. The major problem seems to be that some discs have audio problems when playing PS2 games, while other really old titles just don’t play at all. But unless you’ve thrown away your old PS2, and really have a hankering to play these older titles, this really isn’t that big of an issue. Sony’s response has been to say that they’ll fix these issues with a future update for the PS3, with the vast majority of PS2 titles working normally with the PS3. Still, if this is the biggest problem the PS2 faces so far, with no other reports as yet of overheating or any catastrophic issues, Sony doesn’t have too much to worry about. Not yet, anyway. The ‘launch’ dust has barely settled in Japan, after all, and the launch dust hasn’t even flown into the air in the US yet. More news as we get it. {moscomment} |
