I don't think it'll be obsolete right away. Even when the ps3 came out, they continued to put out new games for the ps2 for about 3 years or so. Pretty sure they're going to do the same for ps3. New games are still planned for it, and certain games they're going to put on both platforms as well. Sony knows damn well not everyone is going to jump on the next system right away. I know I'll wait at least a year or so.

I'll definitely be doing my homework when it comes to this.

I wish it would be backwards compatible, but I know that's not happening. We'll both be learning more as the release date approaches.

I don't even know what that means.

It means being able to play older generation games on it. ps2 could play ps1 games, the first model of ps3 could play most ps2 games on it, but later versions couldn't.

Wait, why not? That sounds stupid. If I got a PS3 I'd like to get a handful of games from decades ago.

The hardware is very different, so doing it is not only annoying, but very costly as well. Not making it backwards compatible keeps costs down.
You still can play old games if you download them off the network, and the prices aren't too bad, normally around $10. If you don't already have the games, it's not a bad deal, but it sucks if you do own a physical copy.

Still, pain in my ass. I don't want to spend more money after getting it!

I'd rather pay $10 for a digital copy than pay an outrageous price for a used physical copy. Besides, when you have a system, you never stop spending money. Games man, games!

Just play when you come over. It's good enough for you that way.

I really want this. Too bad used copies are only $2-4 less than new around here, may as well buy it new.

You gotta wait a while before it goes down in price. In 3 or so months it should be priced more to your liking.
