It doesn't really matter if it's on a Floppy disk(Do computers post 2003 even come with floppy drives anymore?) or CD, it's all in the coding of the files, so, whoever wrote the code for the version of Photoshop you're using, probably wasn't thinking, 'Hey, I'd better make sure this version can run on a Next Gen computer.'

The console gaming industry is on the verge of another crash like back in 83 cause of that, back then it was endless slap together craptitles with some movie name on em, and these days it's the endless rehash of the same crummy gameplay with a pretty graphic shell on it - which is why retro games are exploding in popularity.

You know, that *WAS* the primary selling point of the PS2, Mikey - and WHY it grabbed the market share it did, folks were sick and tired of buying the same library of games over and over for new platforms, especially when the new platform originally offered much of nothin for the buck.

This pay full product price for permission to borrow it (license, whatever) with a list of conditions on how you can use it, and KEEP PAYIN, that's a *rental*, and if I want a rental I'll go to Blockbuster thankee muchly.
(Car Leases are the same kind of fuckery)

That's just like companies who offer "unlimited" internet, phone, what have you, and then scream a bloody fit when you actually USE what you paid for.

Well, the oddball part of that, Story - was the Xbox/Xbox360 thing.

They promised, but did not deliver, backwards compatibility, and many of the titles are available for both consoles although in fact, and in play, are virtually identical, NFS Carbon as an example.

Except that the Xbox360 ones were $59.99 and the Xbox ones were $29.99 or less - for the same damn near identical game, so which one did folks jump on with both feet ?

That was one reason Microsoft "encouraged" Gamestop to drop carryin Xbox games, although declining sales of em in general were also part of it.

Still, if you wanna sell me a next gen console, you BETTER have a damn good reason for me to want it (Mass Effect sold me that Xbox360, I'll have you know.)
