    I for one say who cares…Look I own both a PS3 and 2 Xbox 360's and both being backwards compatible and maybe
    once over the few years i ever put a PS2 or an original Xbox game in either console.Look i dont want to play old games and look at less than stellar graphics.I want new games and sharp, crisp graphics..I dont care how much i played GT4 before i dont care about old games there just that OLD!! if i wanna play old stuff i'll drag out my original Xbox or PS2 or SNES for that matter and play them.Sure they gave me hours of enjoyment but when i go back and try them again there fun for like 10 minutes then I'm bored.People put to much emphasis on backwards compatibility…Give me GT5 and Brutal Legends…the past is the past
