R.I.P. Backwards Compatability!

I guess now would be a good time to pick up your PS3 if you haven't already...As most of you know already, BC has now officially been removed from all future PS3 systems, one of the worst decisions ever made. What are your thoughts? I like playing everything on one console wirelessly. I still have all of my PS1 and PS2 games, and I play them here and there.

I'll tell you what I'm doing, I'm buying a Metal Gear Bundle now, and selling it in a couple of years unopened for double the price...

i do not care, because i got a 60gb :) and i'm enjoying my ps2 games.Krigon

woo launch systems baby!! hahaa

it'll be back when the ps2's cycle is over...logan2k_17

Personally, I use my 60GB (now 320GB) all the time with regards to BC. Almost half of the games I play on it are PS1/PS2. I just don't understand the point of keeping PS1 compatability, but not PS2... Thats a hell of a way to market a system. Using all of my logic, software emulation would have been fine if they were to continue providing it in the premium console, like the 160GB. I'm starting to wonder now if they did away with the 2 exta USB ports and the memory card slots as well.

Oh yea, congratulations to everybody with a BC system, it now has a high resale value, kinda like a Honda.

I already own a refurbished 60 GB model from Gamestop Online, & I still own the older PS2 model.:)

Plus the only way that BC will be happening in the future with the PS3 models, is if PS2 dies out (which won't be happening anytime soon!). People who don't own either a 20, 60, or a older 80 GB model, or someone who doesn't own a PS2 already, will now have to wind up buying two Playstation models just for PS2 & PS3 games. Not to mention owning both would wind up costing you $530 w/tax. If people own a 40 GB model, or if people are planning to own a future PS3 model for PS2 games, then they're SOL.

Even if it's refurbished, like my 60 GB model is, I would say buy it. Your best bet is places like Gamestop online, or Amazon.

well if you want backwards compatability so bad just go out and buy a PS1 or PS2, and if you had one but sold it to get a ps3 then thats your fault. i have a 20GB and 60GB which have full b/c. muhahah! also i have 2 PS2 and a ps1 so either way i'm good to go.Sk8ter_213

I agree with both of the statements above. :)

Spending 2 nights outside of Fry's was well worth it for me :D

It sux for sure, but Sony had it available for 2 years. You can't say, they didn't worn you... I just hope my 60 doesn't die and last the test of time, or I'll be one sad cookie. :( It's been freezing lately and I stopped playing ofr awhile. Im so scared for her; Im having a mental brake down.

Im pissed, because my brother just bought a 60GB from one of his friends, which the guy doesn't know anything about it (Came with his HDTV as a bundle) and payed $250. Im trying to buy it from him, but since I told him about pretty much everything, hes just keeping for the hell of it. O I forgot to mention, he has a 40GB in the front room. :| (Came with 4 games, 2 controllers, and about 3 Ps2 games also).

Good bye BC... someday you'll be back.. someday. :cry:

i really only used mine for mgs1,2,3...so idcUnknown_Hero3

I have a 60 gig, and I love it.

I dont often use bc, but knowing that I can is great, I can go back and play MGS2&3, God of war 2, GTA SA and VC and shadow of a colossu any ****ing time I want. **** YEAH!!!!

DONT BE AFRAID, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS

November fifth or something like that Sonys releasing the 160gb......bringing back the B to the C. Peace.

My opinion... 120 some million peopel own a PS2. Surely you have one. So its no big deal.Cutekitten6_18

Plus of course what happens when your old PS2 breaks down? Sony isn't going to keep making new ones forever.

Who cares about BC. The era of the PS2 is over. Sony already won last gen. If you want to play ps2 and ps games buy a ps2. PS3 is about this gen. BC isnt important, and only a handful of people play last gen games. Sony is trying to convert is ps2 users into ps3. Thats why they removed BC.

I bought an NES last year . If i can get an NES in 2007 i'm sure you're able to find a ps2 in 20xx.

At least the 160GB PS3 has BC for PS2...windrincar_8192

Actually that's not been confirmed...

Seriously... Let's move forward.

The NES was a far more durable system compared to the PS2 (mostly because it didn't have a disc drive). I wouldn't expect there to be nearly as many working PS2s left in the same span of time.

Are you talking about the same NES where you had to blow the cartridge and pray it will work? Durable than the ps2? did you just pull that out of ur ass? LOL.
