Yes, but these were part of a long list of features advertised and promoted
> Yeah, that cracked me up. After the PS3's
launch Sony continually
removed
feature after
feature - the only things I can think of now is the
backwards
compatibilty and the 'Other OS' feature, but I know there were several
things they removed.
But these are both sides of the same coin
Backwards compatibility was removed as a cost-saving feature! It is
cheaper to buy a new/used PS2 and use than buy the older (and more
expensive) version of the PS3. It was done, and it was good :)
"Other OS" was something REMOVED from sold units. You have no option,
you'll have to upgrade someday and it WILL BE removed from your PS3, thing
you bought with your money. This is **stealing**. Not good.
from day 1. Every few months they removed an item from
that list. Removing
the PS2 hardware was a cost saving thing, as they had switched
from
including the original PS2 hardware to emulation in later models (there's
about 8 PS2 models in total, with different harddrive sizes that help to
identify them) which failed on specific PS2 games. Sony and developers were
struggling to fix it, so they removed it.
