Why Sony is awesome.

This Venn Diagram shows the features of all 4 PS3s so you can figure out which is best for you.

I heart Sony and their simplistic approach to console design.

It's worth noting that Green and Yellow are discontinued, so they could, arguably, be removed from the Diagram.

But that would make it less funny.

Wow, that is incredible. Almost as unbelievable as creating a video out for a portable gaming unit and selling a cable for said unit that does not actually output the signal for the games themselves. But not even close to as crazy as not putting a warning on said cable mentioning that it isn't compatible with the games. Their excuse was that the cable never explicitly said it would work with the games...

I can't believe I even own any Sony products.

Also, question, does "Full PlayStation 2 backward compatability" constitute a recursive definition, or can the PS3 not play PS1 games?

That is an excellent question.

Going by the cable rule, it doesn't say explicity that it will work with PS1 games...

That is exactly what worries me

Best to assume that it doesn't work.

Or check the wiki.

That is so awesome that I think I may stab my eyes out because there is no chance they will ever behold something more awesome.

the Limited definately shouldn't, as it's emulation based.

the Full.. might.. was the PS2's back-compat tied to the hardware? I seem to think so, and yet.. I seem to remember the PS2 having some backwards compatibility issues with PS1 blueback launch discs..

Why did they make a new platform to begin with?
