Backwards Compatible Update for 40GB PS3?

Some1 told me once that Sony was making an update for the 40 GB PS3's (and any other PS3's that are not BC) which will make these also Backwards Compatible. Ofcourse I hope that they are cuz I have the 40GB version and I sold my PS2 to get the money for a PS3 :P. And there are still some PS2 titles that I wanna check out but never had the chance to do so.

So does any1 know if this is true? Or is it complete bullcrap?

Cheers.

Ah wicked! Some1 post it here as soon as they have announced something about this plz.

Tnx ;)

We will find out in several hours- it's supposedly one of the "big announcements" expected at Sony's GamesCom 2009 address (which starts at 1 PM eastern time today).lyndonAPI

is there a site that will show a live feed for this

Still no news on an update that will make the 40GB PS3's backwards compatible??

Plz let me know.

Tnx

theres a thread somewhere on this board that has a quote from an interview from John Koller (from sony) that BC will NEVER COME BACK TO PS3. that freaking sucks.

i still don't believe it though, they've gone back on their word before... (rumble not coming back, saying slim leaks were fake)... so there's still a chance.

beside the unveiling of ps3slim, does anyone know what the other "big announcement" was?

Yep pretty much confirmed by Sony themselves that they wont be ever going back to PS2 BC because they don't see the importance in it. Thats Sony for you.

BC is not coming back. Never ever ever never.

I doubt BC will be coming back not untill at least the ps2 stops selling so well.

BC is not coming back. Never ever ever never.

We'll see about that now won't we?

Backwards Compatibility is not cost effective for them, and it drives the prices up. By them dropping prices recently, there isn't a cup of water in hell's chance of that happening, nor a Snowman's chance. If you want backwards compatibility, buy a PS2.... they are cheap and it'll play ALL the PS2 games, not just some, which was always an issue with it anyways.
