Are you happy w/o bc on your 40 GB?

Hi, I have been considering for a while to buy a PS3. Recently, my friend told me that he would sell me his for $200. I would have jumped at that offer before, but the only thing holding me back is that it is a 40 GB. I still have some PS2 games I want to play and was going to buy a used 20 GB from gamestop or something.

So the question is, are you guys still playing (or wish you could play) PS2 games on your PS3, or do you think that backwards compatibility isn't really necessary in this new generation? I know $200 is a good deal, but I just wanted to get some opinions. Thanks a lot. :)

Yeah jump on that deal!! And then sell it for $300 lol

Jump at that deal, $200 for PS3 (and from a friend you trust) is a great deal.

I have a 40gb, but I also kept my PS2 so it isnt really an issue. Go buy a used PS2 for like $40 if its such a big deal

It is a bit annoying having to keep setting the PS2 up just to play some old games, but it's not a huge issue, would of much prefered to have b/c though.SamcottsPSWii60

I don't see the lack of B/C as a drawback, so just keep your PS2. I have a couple of PS2 games that I play on my 60 GB PS3, but not too often. I don't think I would miss B/C if I didn't have it.

I miss GOW,GTA,AND RESIDENT EVIL 4

If you still have PS2 games then you should still have your PS2 so I see no problem with the 40GB.
