I personally think that the console shouldn't decided this, it should be the parents themselves to tell their child no and to decided this personally. But whatever...

Also, what the hell is wrong with the next generation consoles. They keep promising us both the PS3 and the 360 will be backwards capable, but it ended up being that you need to buy the games all over again on their shop channels. o.O So far the PS3 delivered, because isn't PS2 games still playable on them.

So far it seems like the Wii is the only backwards capable console out right now. I have had no problems with playing my GameCube disc and once I get it online. I am going to get me the internet channel and SimCity (SNES). I have the game already on cartage, but I could simply turn on my Wii and play it instantly. What do you think of these new features?

actually, they've completely removed backwards compatibility with the new 40 gb ps3.

The one thing that i'm interested in the fall up date is divx/xvid compatibility

My brother is going to try and get one for this birthday this July. Along with the SmackDown vs RAW 2008 game just because you could upload you're own entrance themes. Wow, that would mean we would own the game on three systems. PS2, Wii, and 360! Even though the 360 version of the game beats the other two. The Wii game is still good in it's own right.

Actually, the 360 is slowly working towards 100 percent backwards compatibility. Quite a few of my original xbox games work on my 360. The ones available on the marketplace are just another option for buying the original xbox games. It may not be the brightest marketing move because it waters down their promise for 100 percent backwards compat, but it's still neat.

Well I guess the Wii is still the only console that has complete backwards capacity, I kind of knew that the 360 had somewhat of backwards capacity. Oh well...
