[quote comment=""]Huge reversal for Sony and they do have a bit of egg on their face. With the 360 I couldn’t care less about BC mainly because I had already played any game on the Xbox that I wanted to play. With the PS3 that is not the case. There are still alot of games I wanted to check out on the PS2 and the BC would have held me over until the big hitters came out on the PS3 next year.

This move gave me more reason to wait on a purchase. I like the $399.99 price point now all they have to do is get some AAA can’t miss games and I will be onboard.[/quote]

Yeah I agree. BTW when you play God Of War 2 on PS3 does it got to 720p in HDTV or is it uly like all Ps2 games.

@Col Hartman, GOW2 is a PS2 title, but the game is playable on PS3 (w/ BC support, of course). And Resistance is a “must-have” for PS3 owners. I’m looking forward to trying out Heavenly Sword and Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune as well.

@Souf Centrol, same here. I have a PS2 Slim – Silver Redesign console. And the 80gig is very enticin’, especially w/ ANOTHER $100 off at sonystyle.com.
But I think I’ll hold on a lil’ longer to see if Sony will drop the price on the 60gig.

I would like BC, but I’ll probably get one and not sell my PS2

Well I don’t eveb own one PS2 game, I’ve never bought any PS or PS2 games so I don’t know what I’m missing I guess. I might pick up a PS3 now since $400 for 40GB HDD is double the storage capactity of the xbox360 premium console. I really don’t care that I’m not be able to play that stack of PlayStation 2 games.

Isn’t God of War 2 on PS3, I’ve been wanting to try the new PS3 game Ratchet & Clank, Resistance: Fall of Man, the next SOCOM, and that Killzone game if it ever comes out.

BC is a waste of time, but Sony constantly slammed Microsoft’s non-full Back Compat.with their snide remarks, and also would slam the idea of multiple SKUs. Now here’s Sony less than a year later with 3 or 4 SKUs out at least (since they keep lowering and rising the price on the 60GB/80GB), and no BC at all.

Hopefully they’ve learned to stop running their mouths so much and actually just do something good for the gamer for once. If they’d stop voiding people’s warranties because they used a surge protector or third party controller, maybe I could say Sony is turning itself around, but they are still horribly untrustworthy and they’re not even pretending to be out for the interests in the gamer,
