Do not buy the PS3 slim unless it has BC

I still going to get it. I just store my PS2 somewhere for now. I don't really play much of my PS2 anymore, beside Devil May Cry and Shadow of the Colossus, so it is not a big deal.

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

What if I don't care about BC?

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)..

thats funny because i bought my ps3 back in middle of 2007 only because it had the emotion engine (i didnt even buy a game for over a year)

and yet i never play any ps2 games on my ps3 lol

I did not like or play many ps2 games when they were new, i sure as heck dont care about BC now.

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

Who cares honestly. People don't buy a current gen console to play last gen games. And most people have a PS2 unless they're new to gaming.

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

[QUOTE="W1ckedGo0se"]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...Deathtransit

[QUOTE="W1ckedGo0se"][QUOTE="Deathtransit"] Whoa look a me I don't think games are disposable and want to be able to still play them should the console no longer be manufactured.RogueShodown

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).

too late... i already did :(

Yeaaahhh.. about that.

I bought one last week.

Who waited 8+ years so they can play PS2 games on Sony's current gen console?

If you wanted to play PS2 games so bad you would of gotten a PS2 by now or a PS3 with BC.

Seems that when the PS3 had BC support everyone wanted a lower price for a PS3 and now that they have a trimed down PS3 they want everything that those of us that spent the extra cash for in the begining got. The only person that's at fault of not haveing BC support is the person that was to cheap to buy it when they could.jimm895

Pretty much this. Anyhow, I see it one of two ways:

If price was the thing keeping you from thinking about a PS3, then they've just dropped it by $100, and it now costs half of the launch price.

If you missed out on a BC system and PS2 playability is the big thing you're looking for... then they've just dropped the price of the PS3 by $100. You can now by a spankin new PS2Slim and a spankin new 120GB PS3Slim for the price of a 40GB PS3 from a month ago.

Either way, the value for your dollar is high.

They will release BC when they stop manufacturing PS2s...so in the mean time, play PS3 games and keep your PS2, or just dont get one.

I didnt buy a PS3 slim, I bought a Ps3 20gb for 280 dollars and then bought a 320 gb harddrive for 50 dollars. I'm playing god of war right now also final fantasy 12. SO MANY GAMES TO PLAY!!!!! I'm getting goosebumps by just about thinking it =)!!

I never use BC on any of my consoles.

Sony said that BC wont return ever, give it a rest. Analizer2

I won't. Once the PS3 becomes worth my while, I'll go looking for a 20 or 60 gig model.

I'm betting that Sony will release BC on the PS3 via an update after they discontinue the PS2

Why not just buy a PS2 then if people want BC. Then again people that have PS1 and PS2 games should of had a PS2 to begin with.

O...M...G

NO! NO! NO!

Whya re people still hung up on this. PS2 was last gen, yes it had great games, but like so many others i still have my ps2, if i want to play a ps2 game i'll plug it in! These threads are beginning to annoy me... yes i'm that easily annoyed :P

I bought my ps3... funnily enough, to play ps3 games on not ps2 games... i bought my ps2 to play ps2 games not ps1 games :x
