There was one built-in for the DS though to support GBA games, right ? Still they could - and given how some react around here I fear people wouldn't mind it - demand a fee to activate backwards compatibility.
(Did they actually build in some chips from the DS for backwards compatibility ?)
You mean the slot that they dropped in the DSi/XL?, Do you honestly think they would of dropped backwards compatibility support if the GBA cartridges could of used the same slot as the DS cartridges?, I don't think so, fact is having the extra slot was an extra expense and changes the aesthetics of the system so Nintendo dropped it.
Also where is my free downloadable copy of my GBA games to play on my DSi/xl/3ds?
Oh wait, there are non.
Did we know this in 2005 ? 2006 ? 2007 ? I think it's legitimate for a customer to demand backwards compatibility that's free (or at the very f***ing least doesn't cost a lot).
I still don't get this, why is it legitimate for a costumer to
demand that a game which was sold to him or her (without a digital downloadable license I might add) think that they have the right to demand a free copy of that game on a new system?
Seriously this make no sense to me at all how you think your entitled to this.
Would anyone around here be happy if PS4 had no backwards compatibility ? Xbox720 ? Do we know that yet ? Is is really that clear ?
That is a completely different kettle of fish, do I expect my disc based games to be compatible with the PS4?, no I don't, of course I'd like them to be but I certainly don't expect it nor do I feel that I have the right to demand it, but the digital software that I've bought through PSN, that's a different matter, I do expect that to be compatible with the PS4, and I expect to be able to transfer it across for free.[/QUOTE]
