» nah...
with 120M PS2 units sold, backwards compatibility is just a space-saver. If they don't want MS to blow them out of the box with a price drop, they'll keep the price low.
If the market wants to pay more, so be it.

its the auction market thats making the price of these BC units to go sky high.
racketeers and profiteers also taking the opportunity. japan is now the only place to buy these BC PS3s.

I bought an extra new 60GB PS3 on ebay for only $430 including shipping and a new game. Looks like that is going to pay off. Sony will never make a BC model in the future with the Emotion Engine chip, so it's sure to be valuable someday in new condition.

I just got a 60GB @ GameStop on Friday for $349. With trades/credit Ionly paid $151. They thought it was a 40GB when I called, but i got home and it played PS2 games. I then realized how lucky I was.

Lucky you, but gamestop has stupid people working there. Most of the people i see now are geeky losers, who know absolutely nothing about games.
They should at least know that the model is the model your getting. You have to be stupid if you don't check those things.
But still their mistake is "Your" Gain i guess.
But congrats.

» Ps2 games, I remember those
Wow, I didn't think anybody played ps2 games anymore.
I thought I'd play my ps2 games but compared to ps3 games' graphics, they arent worth my time.
That and my iPhone I'm typing this on right now has twice the procesing speed and ram of a ps2. Just shows you how obsolete the ps2 is now

» ps2 games are still good
I just recently sold off my PS2, but yes I still do want to play PS2 games. So while I wait for the big PS3 games to come out, at least I can still play them all on one system (upscaled too).

» uhhhhhhh, but
If you want to play PS2 games, don't you already have a ps2?
If sony is going to stay competitive against Micro$hit's prices, they have to drop the bc crap.
Also, people were just playing their old PS2 games and using their ps3 as a blu-ray movie player.
In Europe when they dropped BC, the PS3 software sales increased dramatically.
So All it comes down to is Sony wants to be competitive in price while using bleeding edge technology and they're trying to cut useless features like these to do it and increase PS3 software sales at the same time to increase income and attract more development.

» RE:PS2 Games I remember those.
Oh yeah, who the hell would want to play games for the system that so far has had the greatest game library to date?
Dumb ass, as far as I can tell, the PS2s gaming library will be superior to the 360 and PS3's for at least 3 years. Not graphically obviously, but game play wise.
