 Apparently most of the ps3's sales in america are coming from the 40gb ps3 according to this article. what does this say about bc in america?

Read it and they should do this. And only have the 40GB on the market.

I heard they were just unbundling motorstorm.

But if they do, I will not mind at all.

They should discontinue it for a bit, then drop the price of the 40GB by $100.

Then you could really take advantage of having all PS3's at $299.

i agree, cann the 80gb and reduce the 40gb price by $100. i think sales will spike over 360 sales if it happened.

I dont usually follow sony news, but which models left in north america now have BC??

We have 80GB and 40GB

80GB has B/C

There is also a few 60GB still kicking around, very rare though.

I think it has more to do with price point than backwards compatibility. I would really like to known the percentage of people that buy the 40GB PS3 not knowing it can't play PS2 games.

Bad move by sony, I say un-bundle motorstorm release 80gb alone and drop the price by $100 for both.

edit: I need to add my opinion to this, I think its both a stupid and smart move from sony, if true. I say stupid because most gamers will not buy a ps3 knowing it does not play ps2 games. On the other hand, this will increase ps2 sales for those that never had a ps2 to begin with.

it worked in europe, so it can waork in america too.
