Now that the Tokyo Game Show is over, Game|Life's Chris Kohler is wandering the streets of Tokyo, looking at stuff. Stuff like Shibuya's Cafe Danmark, which he passed by Monday morning. During one of his Akihabara crawls, he spotted higher prices for used backwards compatible PLAYSTATION 3s. The 20GB and 60GB launch consoles were backwards compatible, but the feature has since been removed from the machines. At used game shop Trader, a second-hand 60GB with a "big scratch" is going for ¥56,800 (US$566). Quite happy to own a PS3 with backwards compatibility, and while Sony's business decision to remove b.c. is understandable, it's also a damn shame. More »

Backwards compatibility is a tricky thing. Seems so simple: Make the new machine so it can play old games. But, alas, difficult. According to one reader, the Nintendo Wii joins the ranks of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 as yet another console that can't quite get its BC on. More »

Trolls. You may know one or be one yourself. Their sole pleasure is to provoke—not thought, but emotion. At PAX, Microsoft's Major "Larry" Nelson himself bemoaned the quality of posts on his site, and him getting trolled is nothing new. He recently posted the growing list of backwards compatible games, receiving a whopping 400-plus comments. We don't like to post comments from other sites, because our own trolls will bitch about it "not being news," Kotakuite german S> dropped us a line about a comment he found on the Major's blog: More »

Earlier this month, Microsoft's Peter Moore and his 24-inch guns infamously said that "Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility." We were left wondering if Moore had been spending more time in the gym and less with gamers. That, or if we was really, really drunk. Or taken over by Sony pod people. More »
