Serious research lack in news section-
I was reading your April 2007 issue and in the news section, which is
in the beginning, there was news that Sony was removing 'Emotion chip'
which allows it to play PS2 games, in their Europe version.
It was alright till then, but then it was written that due to removal of
this chip, PS3 will no longer be able to play PS2 games. This is totally
wrong. PS3 still plays about 75% of PS2 games through software emulation
and the backward compatibility is increasing as they release patches
regularly.
More laughable error was this that it was written that Xbox360 supports
full backward compatibility. Do you guys just do a little bit of research
before printing wrong information, and that too in news section? Xbox360
supports only about 5-10% backward compatibility. Google it and you will
know.
Seriously, this was a very laughable error and I didn't expect it from a
prestigious magazine like Digit. At least you can Google it before
printing. I think you should ask the guy who was responsible for this
news. I normal gaming enthusiast would tell you about such a thing.
I am a regular reader of Digit. But please,
don't decrease my faith in digit by making
such errors.
