   I've often times thought of this, but just Sony's behavior(and the   
   entire BDA for that matter) has been so utterly disgusting that it's   
   hard for me to even turn on the PSX lately. I'm sure, in the years to   
   come, some of the bitterness may leave me...but it's gonna take some time.

   It still irks me that Sega can't be bothered to take some of their more   
   popular PS2-only IPs and port them to the 360. I mean, come on, EA did   
   it with The Godfather, Rockstar did it with Bully. I'm almost certain   
   that Sega probably has a shitload of original, high-res textures just   
   sitting on some hard drive, that had to be toned down to work on the   
   PS2. It'd be minimal effort(something that Sega seems to be a real fan   
   of) and a decent profit...
