Well THAT'S disappointing...

The responses to my prior post on videogame consoles has revealed that Sony, apparently, has decided to shoot itself in the foot again; having created the PS3 with backwards compatibility, they've now removed all or much of that capability.

This means that I will almost certainly NOT be getting a PS3, or at least not in the near future, unless I happen across one of the first-generation systems with full hardware compatibility.

And alas the Wii appears to be hard to get indeed.
