Patience is a virtue and if you're a PlayStation 3 owner, you better have a ton of it. The good thing is Sony has seen an issue (such as PS2 games looking poopy on the PS3) and addressed and fixed it via their latest system update. From GameLife:
PlayStation 3 owners can (must) now download system update 1.5, which -- get ready -- actually fixes an actual problem that people actually complained about. It's a little ridiculous that it took this long for Sony to fix the backwards compatibility issue that made some really fun games look like crap (left) versus good (right), but fix it they did.
Guns n Roses, you are so so right. Sony, you were so wrong.
[Thanks, Ted]

Now make an adapter to use Guitar Hero, Sony.
PS3 hasn't even been out for three months, let alone a firmware fix for the backwards compatability issue, which they didn't bother to have ready beforehand.
Patching things is a damned if you do and damned if you son't thing.
If there is a problem and a patch is released quickly people cheer about how quick it came out. But if there is a problem you get slammed for it.The MS way.
If there is a problem and the patch is developed then properly tested to make sure that it doesn't break things in some odd unexpected way, people complain that it took to long.The Sony way??
I'd imagine testing between for the 3 main OS strains, EU,NA, Asia, system variants and games it would take at least a month to just test this stuff.
The moral of the story don't sell incolplete crap to your customers. Holy crap does next get HAVE to mean not yet finished?
Finally some good news for PS3 owners, though. After everything they've been through, they deserve it.
Sony's todo list:
Fix 1080i
Stop lying about shit that will absolutely not be true, ever
Reduce cost of PS3 to below Ghana's GNP (look it up, it's pretty dead on...)
Make games for PS3
Put more crabs in games
Make Guitar Hero work
Apologize personally/offer blowjobs to every Sony fanboy for the public beating they're taking because we fucked up bad.
Send Summa his monthly "Bash the Wii" check.
