Kotaku are incorrect and you are incorrect. Aren't you supposed to be a PS3 site? You should know these things, check it up for yourself instead of spreading the Kotaku *****.



The 1.70 Firmware added support for MGS2 and broke MGS3 support.



The 1.80 Firmware fixed the MGS3 support and added several titles like ZOE 2. Dead or Alive 2 and Viewtiful Joe also added. Other people report that more of their games work as well, they aren't specific however.



I myself still have problems with Jak X (wont start) and Rachet: Gladiator (graphical problems).

i don't play ps1/ps2 games............

This statement is wrong, many europeen forum and specialy french one (as I am french) report significant improvement at the BC level for the 1.80 firmware.

Look this site also about BC (www.ps3comp.com)

it's not just wrong statement, it's total FUD



before claiming "Sorry PAL, No Backwards-Compatability Relief", there wasn't a single game they posted that didn't work... all they pointed was that BC site that's most likely not even updated on monthly if not weekly basis



i was even surprised that they added smoothing in the update

not to mention the option of enabling FULL RANGE RGB!! under Display Settings

That's true, although were even also improvements in BC, the 1.80 update was meant for media and video playback.



The videophiles at the AVS forums have gone crazy over this update. Some even elected the PS3 as the best all-round DVD and Blu-Ray player available in the market.

maybe he stole his ps3, im not blaming you "pissed off" but why dont you just claim on warranty?

I knew they included Linux for a reason

What a f ucking noob you are, go back to your BS ring of death 360 f aggot.

Has anyone tryed changing turning on the RGB Full settings and Super white settings in the settings/display menu, for yous with HD sets out there it could make a huge difference to the picture quility, I noticed it as soon as i turned it on, but really noticed it when I played Resistance.

LOL dont bring the PS3 down in hardware. COmpared to the x360 it can withstand more pressure.



The customer service is regardless of what you say much more satisfying that xbox's could ever be.

Wii BC is only one generation back (The Gamecube) they make you pay for N64 BC (10.00 for each title), SNES BC (8.00 for each title) and NES BC (5.00 per title.



The PS3 goes back two generations (PS2 and PS1); you don't have to rebuy games that you have already purchased. I'm happy that Sony isn't charging 10.00 per title for PS1 games. It's free. And if you missed out on any PS1 titles; like the smash Hit Syphon filter; Sony has it available for 6.00 (4.00 cheaper than Nintendo Wii's BC titles for the N64)



Sony is by far the better value in the long run and has fantastic BC with PS2 and PS1 which they should be very proud of.



Have fun paying 10.00 for what were once n64 cartridge based games that you may still own but must pay for them again in order to play them on your Wii.

Flawed comparison, as all nintendo systems prior to gc are cardridge based, cant expect them to just add cardridge slots for all of m right? + Sony also sells ps1 titles over psn.

Sony blocked RSX (thats the graphics chip for all you ppl out there) in linux with a hypervisor.

I also had that problem shortly after updating my launch PS3. I was able to talk them out of the $150, but damn! It's under warranty and unmodified. I should be getting my repaired PS3 back in 2 weeks they said.
