    I will be getting a PS3, when I can afford one Too many issues with Xbox 360 due to poor testing, no-one I know has been completely happy with it, whereas I've yet to meet anyway unhappy with the PS3. Backwards compatibility with PS2 games is no issue because my PS2 is still working perfectly. Those big ones are beasts, all the slim ones die too easily, mine has outlasted 2 of my sisters slims haha

    Wii does nothing for me, if I wanna play sports games doing the actions, I'll just go play those sports in real life. I would be the kind of person who gets sick of the novelty, plus I can always just go to my cousins round the corner and play theirs. The only games I would buy are Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros

    The only reason I am interested in the backwards compatability is I hate having 80 billion consoles hanging around for only 1 or 2 games! I still have my Mega CD stashed in the cupboard for Sonic CD times......

    One thing I dislike about the Wii are the motion controls, its ok of you have the option of changing controller, but if you can't it sucks.

    I really wanna play the new Tomb Raider game, but haven't coz to play it, you have to shake the controllers about in certian bits. WHY? Just let me use the damn classic controller and sit my lazy ass on the couch dammit!!!! As a result, I too have been waiting for the (n)on-coming PS2 version.

    No current PS3s have PS2 BC, unless its a 2nd hand one, and in the case of the AUS release, only limited BC. Blu-Ray is region locked, warner bro's and Universal films aren't the others vary from a disk to disk basis.
    Hmmmm, ok thanks. I wonder if any homebrew developers have done some ps2 emulating on it? (off to google)

    That was how the Australian release did it originally, but it didn't a lot of games, so they scrapped it

    And obviously the PC world is giving you your fix

    Thats the reason I skip PCs for gaming. So much time and money spent messing around trying to make sure they have all the correct specs. Then a month later, its out of date. At least consoles have solid hardware from which to work.
