Well i work at best buy...and i can promise you that everyone at the store understands there is no backwards compatibility....but we are giving away a free controller/heavenly sword/or lair when you buy one of our last 60GB models....oh and on a side note, it also says that Bluetooth is what enables you to have wireless internet connection...so yea.

You can download BC still though I believe, not sure so correct me if I'm wrong. So with that given, it technically does have BC. You just have to go online and get it.

if you been looking around forums and stuff. there is a BC, but thats through software emulation. that can be updated always for stablitiy. out of the box, u can possibly download it and have BC for around 50%-70% of the games to work that applies to most of recent late ps1/ps2 games. thats just he info I found in the forums.
