On the other hand, it is a very nice feature that many people will appreciate. Trying to figure out if people would still buy a PS3 without BC is pointless. It's there, and some people don't care, and some people do. BC is not a make-or-break feature, and I don’t think most of us are claiming it is.

I fully plan to continue playing games like Champions of Norrath, Frequency, and Guitar Hero on the PS3. I plan to give my PS2 to my nephew, if I can play all my PS2 games on my PS3.

Then I could pick up old Halo and Star Wars titles that didn't make it to PS2 and enjoy them. ..... WTF, Microsoft isn't going to support old games on this system? So they are basically saying to me, FU Rather, you want to play our old library, go buy an Xbox. We are in such a big big hurry to beat Sony that we can't be bothered with it. Hmm. I wonder what else might go wrong if they are rushing things so much?" “Maybe I should go Microsoft this round and get an Xbox 360.

Now they dont have to worry about making sure every game works, they KNOW every game will work. Backwards compatability is VERY important to me, because the graphical jump isnt as huge as it was from last gen transition (psone to ps2). With God of War, Bully and Final Fantasy XII not yet played by me, i will definitely be playing them on my ps3. Putting ps2 hardware saves sony TONS of man-hours.

I monitor has component input, but the picture is horrible and dark. And with my HDTV, when I play through analog video (including component video) connexion there is a lag in the gameplay which make a lot of games unplayable. With the HDMI I won't get this lag, So the ps3 BC brings a lot of value to me.

This guideline from Sony has an acronym, I forget what it is, forgive me. Maybe you can find it. Good day.

I like the old system because that is what the games were designed for. I like rumble a lot and the PS2 is the only way I will get it. The PS2 isn't worth a ton of money anymore and nostalgia gaming needs the old system to get the feel. I would rather buy an NES. I would buy the carts for the same price that Nintendo is selling the games for on their internet thingy. I own and love my 360. I packed up my Xbox the day I bought the 360. I don't want to play games from the older generation. They look horrible compared to the newer system and the game play get so much better. After playing Gears of War I have no desire at all to play Halo 2. I just don't think I could go back to the old A.I. and everything else. BC is so overated that 3 months after you buy the new system you will not want to play a PS2 game for a few years. BC is a waste of time for me.
