Re: PS5 Won't Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games

@theheadofabroom Fair enough, and I wasn't directing my comment at you per se. But that begs the question doesn't it, why can't they then have backwards compatibility for PS1 when it's so easy? I understand your point with PS3, they did make that one particularly tough to do. But they can put minimal effort on PS1 and maybe PS2 to make it happen (and for PS3 maybe allow digital transfers for the game, eventually). It's not as big of a money issue as some people are making it out to be, not in this day and age where any John Doe that knows a thing or two about emulating can replicate on the average phone.

lol I'm with @Stocksy
I've read most of the comments on here and the amount of "who cares?" and such is unbelievable.

Yes, because adding the convenience is sooo bad. Hold up, let me pull up my PS1 that stopped working like 10 years ago or PS2 with no HDMI cable, and old clunky ass controllers because "Ps5 iS fUr nEw G3mZ OnLi"

People are acting like we are expecting the PS5 to play fawking Dreamcast. No, it's simply older games of the same brand. Like, you know Android 10 can still execute KitKat apps. 4K blurays can still play Blurays.

Even if I did have every single console in perfect condition, the amount of extra effort, cabling, set up that would go to have it all there when you can just have a SINGLE PS5 that covers all of the above, is ridiculous.

Oh, and for that guy shaming Microsoft for doing full backwards compatibility, I'm no Xbox fan but shaming a company just for doing something good makes you look like a ***** fanboy.

Re: Review: Michael Jackson: The Experience (PlayStation 3)

This is the only game that would have persuaded me to buy a PlayStation Move controller, but after reading this review, I am no longer interested. I am a big fan of Michael Jackson here, and own both the Wii and PlayStation 3. I did not get the Wii version waiting for the "enhanced" versions on the 360 and PS3. However, I do not own a Kinect or a 360 for that matter (otherwise would have bought it on a heartbeat), so I looked around to see how this version compares. @James is right on the spot when he says the PS3 and Move are both much more powerful than the Wii and its Wiimote, so you would expect it to be a lot more advanced, but tracking only a quadrant of your body? I thought it would at least track your entire upper body using both Move and Eyetoy. Anyhow, thanks for the review.
