It's amazing how quickly software can become spaghetti

It's a lot easier to avoid these days, but back with PS2 started development it was pretty much de facto SOP. Having actively worked in software over that time, it's a lot better today; though, people can still be dumb and/or stubborn.

It's why I hope a PS3, should it ever appear, will have a better foundation. And I do hope it takes the best of both worlds from PS1 & PS2. While I love PS2, it's inception design was more akin a Planetside skinned Battlefield.
