Sony Settles PS2 Lawsuit
Sony has settled its “disc read error” lawsuit by compensating the affected gamers with USD $25, a free game from a specified list, and (of course) the reduced cost repair or replacement (at SCEA’s discretion) of the damaged system. This settlement is subject to the courts’ approval, and hearings will begin in the US and Canada on April 28, 2006, and May 11, 2006, respectively.
Latest PS2 lacks backwards compatibility
A new day is dawning in Japan. The day of the newest PS2, the Satin Silver Edition, which is a model that lacks full backwards compatibility with seven PS2 games and almost 40 PS1 games. Talk about anticlimatic. The Silver model is expected to go on sale in Japan on 11/23, which is approximately two-weeks before the Xbox 360 debuts there. With such compatibility issues, what can be expected of the PS3?
