So HOW sure are we that the MGS4 bundle is the last chance for BC???

Well, the bundle is already sold out pretty much everywhere actually, but I didnt realize that the 80GB before that was no longer sold either so i wasnt keeping an eye on it.

Anyhow, so if i'm interesting in getting a PS3 with backward compatability, is the MGS4 80GB bundle the absolute last chance for one to do it? Or will there be some last hurrah?

or better yet, how sure are people that they wont release an even better BC unit to complement the soon to be core 80GB?

Pretty much.

Last chance everyone :P

How about you dont end my thread prematurely mk? Obviously i dont want an extra system taking up space, for one. Secondly, I already own a PS2, it just happens to be old and not destined to last alot longer, so the last thing i'm going to do is endeavor to buy another PS2 to replace it.

Anyway, the link and quote doesnt necesarily totally answer the question, it just confirms what will happen evnetually.

I'm still not sure if they plan to revert back to the plain 80GB W/ BC package first, or if the MGS4 bundle is the last of the 80GB PS3's (although if one was to buy one, the MGS4 bundle would of course be the better deal, but it's pertinent to know if they plan on shipping any more non-bundled BC 80GB units as well afterward).
