Yes and....yes.

Backwards compatability is very important to me. As any boy on a budget can attest to, it's important to get the most bang for your entertainment dollars. That's why, if it comes down to it, I'll get a PS3 before setting hands on the 360 even if it means waiting an extra six, seven months. To have the ability to play all the playstation games in my library on one system....well, it's a major selling point for me.

I said this in another thread, but it bears repeating. I wouldn't be so upset at Microsoft if they had just come out and told us that it wouldn't be possible. If they had just told us that due to hardware/software limitations it would impossible for them to make the 360 backwards compatable, I would've been fine with that. But to sell it to us in the form of a hard drive when the other companies are offering it for free? It just smacks of greed. Not that I didn't expect it, but it should really show true gamers how Microsoft regards them with such disdain.

I got off on a tangent a bit there...sorry.

Anyway, as a serious gamer, with a sizeable library of games (games I still play quite a bit, mind you), backwards compatability is very important to me.
