Well, Im Offically An Idiot...

[They Adam Bradley]

So Ive heard ALL about Fire Pro Returns... got all stoked about it and everything and then I find out it was only for PS2 while I only had a 360.

My 360 dies and while its being "repaired" I go out and by a playstation 3. I get all stoked because now I can buy Fire Pro and play it thru my PS3...

Well I only bought to 399 40 gb which for some idiotic reason is NOT backwards compatible...

So i have an unopended Copy of Fire Pro that I will not be able to play... I HATE going into Gamestops because they must train all their employees to be ANNOYING.. so I probably wont go back and get my money back...

Any Crappers interested in buying it off me? it was 20 bucks... I will sell for $10

I cant even explain how PISSED I am right now! And its my BIRTHDAY for Christ Sake

I have never, for the life of me, understood how in the world the PS3 isn't backwards compatible. It's like... one of the more basic functions of today's "sequel" systems. I know it is if you get the REALLY expensive one, and that seems to be only reason for it... but that seems so blatant that it couldn't be the reason. Or is the world just that horrible now?

I say hold onto the game, save up a little, and get a PS2. But I'm the type of guy who would rather have that game than a PS3 anyways.

[@TenaciousBe]

I'd go return the PS3 (if possible) and just get the PS2. The 3 sounds like absolutely nothing but trouble and headache from what I've heard.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Dude, no offense, but do research before you buy soemthing. It is well known the 40 gig has no PS2 bc. You have a bunch of PS3 geeks here, ask us man.

Tenacious, the PS3 is no trouble or headache generally speaking. Like any major electronic device you jsut need to do your homework. Also, Only 1 of 4 models is lacking PS2 BC, all have PS1 BC. They took it out for a stripped down model. Where as for 360 they didn't add BC until later and it still isn't complete.

I did have to flaws with mine that Sony fixed and sent me a free game for my Trouble, a good game at that. Now I have zero issues, the system works like a dream.

But Adam, we have an official PS3 thread, head over and talk to us.

if you got the system recently, take it back. Heck, get an 80 gig if they still have them. 100 bucks more, but you get a ton more. Or wait for the romored 120 gig.

[They Adam Bradley]

well i didnt get a ps3 just for fire pro. Im not going to go buy a playstation 2 just for a 20 dollar game. Im sure the game is badass and everything but im not spending all that money just for a video game. So about me doings research, I DIDNT buy a game for backwards compatibility, i basically bought it cause I had the money and needed something to do while my xbox was getting fixed, also bought it for BLUE RAY... So I didnt really pay attention to that stuff because I dont really play ps2 games.. just hears Fire Pro was awesome

[They Adam Bradley]

and this isnt really a PS3 thread, it was a thread about me buying a badass game I cant play and how stupid I'am

[Max]

can you still return it?

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Either way, since you are one of us, join us in the PS3 thread. I am bumping it here with news in a second.

[Phosphor Glow]

Get a cheap used PS2. You'll only be using it for one game (presumably)...and Fire Pro is worth it. So, so worth it.

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

Alright, so now its official. Here's your complimentary hat.

[Time Lord Soundwave]

I'm with the other posters. Either get a cheap PS2, or take your 40GB PS3 back and shell out for the 80GB model (or the 60GB if you can still find one. Good luck with that). Hell, even the long discontinued 20GB SKU has BC if you can track one down, though it is lacking bluetooth and flash card support.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Dude, it has to have Bluetooth support, all the controllers are Bluetooth. It is lacking wireless internet.

I meant support for other Bluetooth peripherals. Or was I mistaken? My bad.

[AFN: Judge Shred]

I think headsets at least still work... Not sure about Keyboards.

I'm jealous.... my idiot status is still pending approval.

Still waiting for the mail-in certificate from University Of Phoenix, eh?

Hey, you're not an idiot. At least you didn't drop the C word on television ... ;D
