I'd say the PS3 was the pinnacle of console gaming, at least with the early 60GB models. They had full backwards compatibility with PS1 and PS2 discs and DVDs while adding a Blu-ray player and internal hard drive to eliminate the need of memory cards. Access to online multiplayer and PSN was also totally free until MS showed Sony how much they could charge for the next generation of consoles. While it had its fair share of controversies like the initial price tag, PSN hack, and updating the firmware to no longer boot custom Linux OSs, it generally had the most features that any casual fan would enjoy.
I thought the PS3 wasn't backwards compatible due to the weird new cell processor working differently? I remember it being a big controversy at the time.
I’d love to have o e of the ps3s that were backwards compatible.
It’s actually the only console since the nes that I never actually played.
