Sony Comments On PAL Backwards Compatibility

[HardOCP News]

The controversy over the lack of backwards compatibility on PAL PS3s is picking up and recent comments from Sony executives aren’t helping the situation.

We've had two statements now, one from SCEE and one from SCE Australia, and both go out of their way to emphasize that you won't need your PS2 games because of what the PS3 can do. That doesn't sound like a commitment to backwards compatibility, it sounds like they're covering their asses.

I don't think this would be as big of an issue if they just came out and gave all the info on it.

Anyway I'm kinda interested in how this works out because unless it really bombs I'd bet money the US and Jap markets are next for the newer PS3.

I laugh at Sony's attempts to blow off it's leg.

Seriously, how stupid can one company get?

Sony is rocks tumbling down a stairway.

Shame
