I am so tired of all the talk about backwards compatibility. I don't know about you guys, but I waited a long time for PS# to come out. Why? Because I wanted to play next generation games. I am done with PS2! I no longer play PS2 games. It is out-dated. I don't even play San Andreas anymore, and I have a 60 Gig PS3. Sign here PS3 owners if you are letting go of the PS2 era, and aren't looking back!!!!

I have a 60gb because I wanted the b/c.

I don't even play my PS2 games anymore but just having the thought that I could play a wider range of games, makes me happy. :)

>.> ps2 anyone? They should drop bc and get more into ps3... Ps2 is for ps2 games lol. Sure, it is personal preference, but the fact remains that ps2 could probably be bought for $100 dollars from ebay or something. All Im saying is that I could care less about it

I could care less. I really cared at the beginning, but honestly I've only played a couple games BC and it was for the mere novelty of playing a ps2 game on my ps3. Much the same as when I spent about 2 days playing ps1 games on my ps2. I HAVE a ps2. I HAVE it hooked up to my TV. If I can't play ps1 games on my ps3 for some reason, whatever, because ps1 games play just fine on my ps2. I don't know what all the whining is about. Sometimes people complain about stuff even if it has nothing to do with what they would really do. Uncharted -or- Porche Challenge (ps1).. hmm... hard choice. please...

Well I never trade in games or consoles so I really have no need for backwards compatibility, and in my opinion, the point for buying a new console is to play the new games for it. The only game I've played so far is Bully on my PS3.

I don't care about b/c the 80 gb version is 100 more than the 40 gb and has backwards compatibility. If I'm aching to play a ps2 game i might as well get one at eb for less then 100... Plus the backwards compatibility sucks with PS3 anyways, better off just buying a ps2

And, I, sir, grow so very tired of hearing this same sort of nonesense from people of like mind. So, let me get this straight. Just because "you" (and a select few) don't care much for PlayStation 2 games, and just beacuse "you" (and a select few) don't care much for backwards compatibility we're not supposed too? Did you spend from upwards of hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on "our" PlayStation 2 games? No. You didn't. Right? Look. We bought these games with our hard-earned cash. Why? Was it was because it was the "in" thing? No. So, why did we buy them? Could it be... Oh, I don't know... Possibly because we actually take great enjoyment from them? It is our right, and priveledge to care about these purchases we made with our money. But, yet you would have us throw all that money away, just because "you" don't care much for them, much less for backwards compatibility. You must have a ton of money to throw away, to forget previous purchases, simply because something "more advanced" has come into the picture. Sorry. Some of us don't see it that way.

i could personally care less about bc i have ps1-2-and 3. i ididnt spend 650 on a ps3 to play ps2. besides if your a real sony fan you wouldnt care about playing ps2 on ps3 since you would have a ps2 already. Besides thats like getting mad that all dvd players and bluray players dont have a vcr built into them so you can watch those old vhs tapes you have. pointless old tech just move on.

well i grow tired of ppl who say they bought all these ps2 games and spent all this money like you say and it was because you cared just to end up getting rid of your ps2...well your actions tell me you DIDNT CARE! If you still own your ps2 well then shut up bc should have no concern to you since you can play it on your ps2. the only ppl whining about not having bc are those who got rid of their ps2's and now want to play the games again.

Well it would be nice for when I want to throw in some old Jak game or Ratchet and clank or something like that, but I dont play PS2 games that much anymore and when I want to play one I got my slim PS2 hooked up to my regular TV which is right beside my HD tv which has my PS3 hooked up to it, so I really could care less about Backwards compatibility.

Did at any part in my statement show me saying I still had the PlayStation 2? No? Good eye. Anyway. So, tell me. How does my getting rid of my PlayStation 2 show my "not caring". Especially when you take into account that Sony did in fact promise backwards compatibility? Did they, or did they not promise that BEFORE they even sent their very first batch to market? Yes? And, now...To save a few dollars, they are shafting some that still possess PlayStation 2 games. Who may still either A.) Be on the fence on the purchase, or. B.) Still working on the purchase. The 60 gig. Which thankfully I happen to have, has been discontinued. Which, as any sane, person may tell you is the better purchase. The 80 gig is "rumored" to be discontinued. (Don't quote me on that.) Thus, leaving only the 40 gig. Which has NO backwards compatibility. Again, those that got rid of their previous system, on the previously stated promise, get the shaft. My whole point is this. Fine. You don't care for it. You have your system. Enjoy it. But, don't come here giving us the whole "holier than thou" attitude, just because you don't wish to see things through other people's eyes.

I don't care much about B/C, but I think this only makes Sony look bad. Why NOT include B/C if all you have to do is install emulation software? It basically costs nothing to include it... Stupid Sony wants to emphasize PS3 games, but why the hell would anyone buy a PS3 for PS2 games? The point is to play your old games on the same system... It's just a d*ck move on Sony's part, in my opinion, regardless of whether you care about B/C or not.

I really dont care about it. Sure all the old games were great, but they just dont hold up compared to next gen games anymore for the most part (with a few exceptions: Burnout 3). quite frankly, i think that if you're buying a PS3 or a next gen system, you are embracing this new gen of gaming and focusing on all the new games and not wasting time replaying old but great games.

like i said don't come in here complaining about spending all this money and how you don't have money to throw away. I don't know if you still have a ps2 judging by your excessive NEED for BC I'm gonna say no. So you getting rid of you ps2, wouldn't that qualify as throwing away money? Don't come in here telling ppl to stop speaking out about their views and opiniions and then turn around and do it yourself like they just signed for your death sentance. Lighten up its just bc. Besides i have a 60gb and it will never see a ps2 game. seriously think about it what does the 60gig have that the 40 doesnt. BC and an extra usb port and a card reader...yeah that's worth paying an extra 100-150 for. If getting rid of bc brings down the price of all sku's good. Besides your right sony did say they would offer bc but they didnt say FOREVER!!!

I agree too.. why would you choose the only be able to play new games when you could have the option to play new games as well as go back and relive some of the nostagia.

Because people maybe had to sell all their old PS2 and PS1 games because their parents wouldn't let their kids mooch of them like they are used to? Then said kids had to sell their PS2 and PS1 games to get a PS3 and one game, and now they are a crying bunch of MCR loving people... Or maybe they are just not really the Hardcore gamers but only casual gamers. There could be SO many reasons. but i find it stupid that people start fighting over it. i mean, the TC even sounded like he was starting a group of Freedom Fighters, sounded so stupid.. he would make a great dictator some day :D lol. but i still find it pathetic that alot of people are actually going in to attack mode just because of something so meanigless as BC.
