Come on, who here who has a PS3 with b/c has ever used it, and if so, how often?

I do, and I play PS2 games on it more than I play PS3 games on it (my PS3 game library is small though). I still need to play games like ICO, Shadow of the Colossus and a few others...

Also, I'm guessing that Sony is doing this because they want to keep making money off of the PS2....

All the time. Considering I have about 60 PS2 games, and another 80 I want to buy, my 60 GB's b/c has had a ton of use.

They are honest, but I think this is a temporaly situation, right now is better for them to make the people get a PS2 rather than loose money putting BC, so it makes sense, probably they will try to offer it later (Is not 100% sure that they will do it), but right now is better to move more PS2s (Just remember this E3)...

Yeah...I guess Sony might have a software emulator up their sleeve in a year or so...after all they should know their own hardware and software better than any homebrew developers should. They could probably develop a half-way decent software emulator...I hope. I have a 60GB though...so I really have nothing to worry about. I just kind of worry about other people is all. :/
