9 Biggest Necessities For The Next Generation Of Consoles

The fact that we have to pay to play games we already own because the current gen consoles don't support technology that was accessible back on the PS2 is insulting. It is so anti-gamer that it is baffling that a bigger outcry hasn't erupted from this.

The PS2 and the PS3 (well, the original one at least) had this feature built in, so it can't be all that difficult. Especially since they are stored on the same kind of discs. It's just an attempt to get more money and it is so annoying.

Just let us play all the games that we own. Hell, we will give you the biggest props if you let us play all the way back to the PS1 and original Xbox. No reason why that shouldn't be the case already.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
