Do not buy the PS3 slim unless it has BC

The consumer speaks with his money.

Don't buy a PS3 unless it has BC, because Sony should not have omitted this feature from its console.

too late... i already did :(

80% of the people here crying for B/C would'nt use it... Ever.

while i agree that many gamers would want their new console to play games from a previous system, there are many MANY others who buy a new console mainly for its new games.. (i happen to have a PS3 with BC but never used such feature and i also still have a PS2)..

not sure they would blame the lack of BC if its sales are low...

plus, im sure next gen you will be able to download alot of ps2 games through PSN anyway

lol you should of never been cheap and got the other sku with BC

any way people crying for BC won't even use it, if you want it that bad just leave your ps2 hooked up

I have the 60gig and my ps2 slim is still hooked up to another tv of mine so whats so hard of people doing the same.

Most people buying PS3's already have PS2's so I don't understand why people are overreacting about it.

BC will be on all systems in future.sexxxyboy

It has PS1 BC. If they kept PS2 BC it would be more expensive. Floppy_Jim

The ps3 slim does not have BC thats pretty lame

iam glad i still rocking my rare 20gb PS3 LOL

I have the best ps3 version that has BC, and I have several ps2's. It's common sense not to put BC on the ps3 since ps2's are still selling. If you want BC, stop buying ps2's.

Don't buy a360 unless there is no more RROD because Microsoft should have fixed it a long time ago.

First off Who does not have a PS2 here lol... Second off if you do not what do you want to play with it... Finally, Sony can't afford to add PS2 Backward compatability they will lose the sales off people still buying PS2's and the Ps3 is already the most for your money...W1ckedGo0se

yup... that was MS's plan all along

dont buy ps3's cause 360's arent reliable.... wha?

EDIT: Dang, you edited your post

BC won't pull in potential customers, the PS3 games will be what brings in the customers. So far I would say these games are looking pretty outstanding for the consumers that are interested in a PS3. With so many games coming out they won't have time for BC games. While BC would be nice, majority of people do not go back and play their old games. BC will not be a huge system seller for more then maybe 5-10k people since most people already have a PS2.

who look at me I buy next gen systems to play old games

It got away because its gaming library was FAR superior at the time and now it still is.

Lol I knew someone would quote me before I fixed it. Btw if anyone wants a BC ps3 I think its $330 at gamestop, even though that wouldn't really benefit Sony(I think it's a little high, though). I expect them to bring BC back, but that will probably take a while. Maybe when they start making enough of a profit and discontinue ps2s, it might happen. I'd buy a ps3 in a second if it had BC because it adds more than just allowing you to play ps2 games.

Who doesn't HAVE a ps2 at this point? :?

i have missed quite a few ps2 games, so i agree. but just like how ps1 games are offered this gen through PSN, i expect the same for ps2 games next gen

Not at all. The 360s library was better maybe 2 years ago, but now it's basically the same. If you think about it, the ps3 has done a lot better as far as games go because the 360 had a 1 year advantage. As far as ps3 vs an elite 360 goes, the ps3 is a far better choice.

I really don't understand why Nintendo or Microsoft didn't just sell their old consoles for low prices like Sony is doing. It would make them a lot of money and people would buy them just by looking at the price difference. If you have a young child who you want to get a game console for, it won't matter what the graphics look like to them. They'll be happy to just play the games themselves. One reason why I didn't get an Xbox last gen was because the online cost money andthe price was hard to justify compared to the ps2's and the games the ps2 had. If it costed $100 now, I would buy it right away(and judging by the 360's price, they could easily do that).

I have the best ps3 version that has BC, and I have several ps2's. It's common sense not to put BC on the ps3 since ps2's are still selling. If you want BC, stop buying ps2's.

This

to the people that are complaining, should of never been cheap if you want the goods give up the dough, like me and others gamers that bought the launch system

Where were you tc when sony was making bc ps3s? they littered the shops with them you didnt buy one so sosny cut their loses and had to make it cheaper, if anything is your fault for not buying one when bc was standard, if you had they may have kept it
